Interesting article. http://www.nfl.com/news/story?id=090...o&confirm=true
Especially this last part.
Winless but not hopeless
Finally it may be time to buck a trend! In the past two years, only one team that started the season 0-2 made it to the playoffs. Herm Edwards' Kansas City Chiefs were in the same spot last year that they are today -- 0-2 and hearing all the nightmares about the rest of the season. Talking with Coach Edwards, he quickly reminded me that five of the 10 teams that are currently 0-2 were playoff teams last year: the Chiefs, Giants, Jets, Eagles and Saints are all in the same boat. Someone is going to figure out what they have been doing wrong, Edwards said, and they will get their season turned around. There's a lot of football to play.
When 11 teams started 0-2 last year, just three (27 percent) were playoff teams from the year before. This year, 50 percent of the 0-2 teams were playoff teams in 2006.
