Which 0-2 team has you scratching your head the most?

[Rock Strongo]

saints 0-2
seahawks 0-2
ravens 0-2
giants 0-2
eagles 0-2
detroit 0-2*
bears 0-2
texans 0-2*

* denotes "I had to include them in the poll because they are 0-2."

I'll be biased and say the Ravens

They lose a defensive battle at the last minute one week
Then lose a shootout at the last minute the next

The only one that's a little surprising is the Seahawks.

All of the other teams stink.

None of the teams on this list will make the playoffs.

Historically 0-2 is not good in the NFL, but it's nowhere near the end...I voted. BAL because I didn't expect them to lose @ OAK....the 0-2 that is in the most trouble imo...I was going to say PHI, but now with Romo out for some period of time maybe not...I think CHI is in the most trouble...they lost both games at home.

These are my thoughts as well.

I wouldn't count Seattle out yet. Both of their losses were on the road and they should get Chancellor back soon.

I think the Seahawks are the only team with any shot. I'd bet against all of them, though. 0-2 is a HUGE hole. Fans just don't want to admit it.

I really don't know about Kam. If it has gone on this long, all bets are off at this point.

It's kind of interesting that only 12% of teams that have started 0-2 under the current playoff format have gone on to make the playoffs, and there are eight teams on this year's list of 0-2 teams. History suggests that it is most likely that one of those teams makes the playoffs. I definitely think that Seattle is the most likely team this year.

I voted seahawks but I wouldnt count the ravens out just yet either

Hey, good math there. You're right if the math holds. So, Seattle it is.

I don't know the details, but I imagine he'd have to leave a lot money on the table if he chose to sit out the entire season.

I would. They have Cincinnati and at Pittsburgh the next 2 weeks. 0-4 looms large.

true I see your point but they are a crafty bunch ..I suppose I will believe it when I see it ..

Teams tend to play different/better at home than they do on the road. I think they'll be fine. Fully expect them to be 3-3 heading into their MNF game with Arizona

 

[flaraider]

I was pretty shocked that the Ravens went down 2-0, they really missed Suggs I guess. But for the Raiders to walk away w a 1-1 they had to play a pretty good game, the offense really looked good in the 2nd half, in fact the best 2nd half of 'ball I've seen in Silver and Black in quite some time, finishing on a high note!

Prepare to be disappointed. They're AWFUL. Pittsburgh will hang 40 on them.

Carr to Cooper is gonna be an epic duo for a long time. They're both great players. The Raiders are a team on the rise. Got to shore up that D. Especially the secondary.

 

[Sharkonabicycle]

Balt for sure. Especially with the loss to Oakland...

Seattle was not really a surprise if you follow them. St. Louis plays us hard at St. Louis and their D-Line just evaporates ours. Green Bay loss? Really? Their home opener in a VERY emotional revenge game for them? That loss was coming a mile away. I predicted a Seattle win for kicks, but was not shocked at all on the loss.

2 straight road trips to midwest and playing two tough opponents (one division game)... that's a TOUGH start to the season. Seattle's next few games: Cincy, Bears/Lions at home. Probably rebound and go 3-2 with ease. Realistically with Bryant out, Seattle could win out to their bye week.

It was great to see Carr air the ball out, he caught Cooper and Crabs on the fly a couple times that got the team fired up, but the defense did look pretty shaky.

I don't know if Hayden is going to make it or not, I hope to see some improvement as this season goes on.
