I think we all knew around Week 11 that the Lions weren’t winning a game this year, but today they made it official: They’ll be going to Canton as the only 0-16 team ever in NFL history.

The Lions lost to the Green Bay Packers 31-21 on Sunday, making them the first team to go winless through a 16-game season. The 1976 expansion Tampa Bay Buccaneers (0-14) were the last NFL team to complete a season without a victory.

“I’ve got to live with this,” center Dominic Raiola said. “I’ve been here eight years. This is on my resume.”

On the bright side, Calvin Johnson ended his season with 106 yards receiving and two touchdowns, but he couldn’t help the hapless Lions defense, who never had an answer to Aaron Rodgers and the rest of the Green Bay offensive attack.

Most of the current blame will fall on this year’s front office, but at the end of the day Matt Millen has to take the fall. He had numerous top 10 picks, and all he’s got to show for it is Ernie Sims, who’s a decent linebacker, and Calvin Johnson, who is an elite player that will never live up to his potential with the QB’s they have picked out.

Next stop: Drafting Sam Bradford or Matthew Stafford. And even they can’t turn it around. That defense is just awful.
