Have you ever noticed in previous pre-season games that the really good teams, based on last season's outcomes, do not do well. The good teams know that they can win with their first string players in the game, but they want to see what the backups can do in pre-season, generally that leads to a loss.

the bears and probably a few other good teams sometimes intentionally throw a preseason game. The coaches set up a terrible gameplan and get crushed to leave the sour taste of losing in the players mouths, usually in week three. Then in week four they go with the starters, crush the other team, and ride the momentum and work ethic into the regular season.

So yeah losing in the preseason doesn't mean anything, it's probably a bad sign if you do go undefeated since it means theres a good chance you didn't let the lower string players have enough time to play.

It looks like the Detroit Lions or no team at all.

Detroit went 4-0 in 2008 pre season. The only team to do so.
