Percentage of 2-0 team that make playoffs??

Sportscenter said that 66% of teams that go 2-0 make the playoffs. I don't know how long of a time period they looked at.

And guess which team handed us our first of 11 losses that year?

The New York Giants in week 3.

We should rename this thread "jumping the gun." With injuries a big concern and a tough schedule down the stretch, I am trying extremely hard to just think one game at a time.

The important thing is that we aren't 0-2. Because the percentage of 0-2 teams that made the playoffs since 2000 is just 8%. Going back to 1978, that percentage climbs to about 11%.

The 66% of 2-0 teams making the playoffs is through 1978 (the start of the 16-game season).

One interesting stat is that this year is the first time in *NFL HISTORY* that five Playoff Teams from last year have started 0-2 (and therefore, statistically, only one of those teams is likely to make the playoffs again this year)
