Well it is hard to go 0-16.. nearly as hard as it is to go 16-0. But even keeping that in mind, the Lions actually have a pretty rough schedule to play out:

Week 8 vs. Washington - safe to say the 'skins take this one
Week 9 at Chicago - the Lions have never played well in Chicago, save last year!
Week 10 vs. Jacksonville - I predict lots of booing at Ford Field for this one
Week 11 at Carolina - well that's 4 great defenses in a row - Orlovsky might get benched by this point
Week 12 vs. Tampa - depends on how the Bucs are playing, but another tough D to face
Week 13 vs. Tennessee - perhaps the best defense. Lions will be lucky to score
Week 14 vs. Minnesota - this one's winnable. Depends on what the Vikes are playing for by then
Week 15 at Indianapolis - Indy looked bad yesterday, but not lose-to-the-Lions bad
Week 16 vs. New Orleans - another winnable game, but Detroit's secondary should make Brees salivate
Week 17 at Green Bay - the Lions can't win in GB period.

0-16 is very possible at this point. The Lions have already breezed through the easiest part of their schedule, still winless!
