SIAP.

Who are you most surprised has started their season 0-2? I know there is a long way to go, but what is the percentage of teams that start 0-2 make it to the playoffs?

Teams

Baltimore Ravens
Houston Texans
NY Giants
Philadelphia Eagles
Detroit Lions
Chicago Bears
New Orleans Saints
Seattle Seahawks

*Colts 0-1, early in the 4th, down 10-0 to NYJ.

I think the easy choice is Seattle just because they've been to the SB the last 2 years. Obviously @GB would be a tough outing for anyone, but not many predicted a Rams loss. Although, starting the season on the road twice can't be easy for anyone.

Baltimore would be my number 2. Like Seattle, they started with 2 road games and although @Denver wasn't a surprising loss, @Oakland certainly was.

Both Philly and Indy got a lot of hype from the talking heads.

Baltimore for the simple reason that they lost to the raiders

Indy and Saints both would lose games in which they were TD or more favorites at home openers

Seattle being 0-2 isn't that surprising considering the two matchups.


Baltimore and Indy (if they start 0-2)

Indy because of who they've played. I thought Buffalo could be okay, like 8-8, and I figured the Jets would be a 5 or 6 win team. The Jets defense does look legit

Philly. I expected them to have an electric offense, but it's been quite the opposite so far. What a disappointment.

Looking like an Indy loss.

Ravens. I thought they'd be 2-0 right now.

In the Saints game yesterday they showed a graphic that 11% of teams who start 0-2 make the playoffs,as compared to 41% with a 1-1 start. No clue if that is right.

Baltimore, Seattle, or Indianapolis should be the only surprising 0-2 starts so far. The other ones, at least to me, are not surprising whatsoever.

Easily the Saints, with a healthy Byrd, Spiller and now Brees this team could win 14 games.

The Colts started 0-2 last season FWIW
