Record for Futility By Todd Schafer Most people are aware that it was the 1972 Dolphins, and most recently the 2007 New England Patriots who went through an entire season undefeated. How many of you know the one team that went an entire year without a victory? It was the 1976-1977 expansion Tampa Bay Buccaneers. They went through their inaugural season winless at 0-14 (teams didn't play sixteen games that year) and went 0-12 for the next season until finally breaking into the win column against New Orleans in December of 1977. All in all, they lost 26 games in a row. No team has ever went 0-16 in one calendar season. The Detroit Lions have been on the brink of this since the Matt Millen era began in 2000. This years campaign has the Lions at 0-9 with no cream-puffs on the remaining schedule. Could this be the year? Just as the 1972 Dolphins crack open a bottle of champagne every time the last undefeated team gets beat; just so the 1976 Buccaneers must break open at least a twelve pack when the last winless team breaks through with a victory. The current Lions squad (meow); must have that Yucc-aneers squad very nervous.
