Only 12% of the teams that start 0-2 make the playoffs

They keep throwing this stat around. But if there is a team that has the chance to be in the 12%, it is the Saints. They are only 1 game behind SF and Seattle, arguably the two best teams in the conference. The Saints just need to look at this as a 14 game season and play to the best of their abilities and everything they hoped to achieve this year, is still there for the taking.

That % is actually higher than I thought it would be.
Teams that start 0-2 tend not to be very talented or good.

What does any of this mean....Nothing. The Saints need to straighten up, damn it.

Who cares. Look what Carolina did last year. They started 1-3 and went 11-1 the rest of the way (their only loss coming from yours truly). We lost by a combined 5 points. I'm pretty sure Carolina lost by the same amount, if not, barely more points than we did in their first two games. We can do this.

Until 2009, no team that lost to Tampa Bay or lost their last 3 regular season games had ever won a Super Bowl. Just another opportunity to go against the grain.

So they lost to the Superbowl champs by 5 and the fricking bills by 1.
We lost to a division opponent by 3 in OT and to the fricking browns by 2.

In 1993, the Cowboys were defending Champions and lost their first 2 games, including a 19-point blowout loss on the road to open the season, only to go 12-4 and win the Super Bowl that year.
In 2003, the Patriots lost their opening game to the Bills 31-0 and started 2-2, only to finish the season 14-2 and win a Super Bowl.
In 2001. the Patriots lost their opening 2 games, and started 1-3 and still won the Super Bowl that year.
In 2007, the Giants started 0-2, and won the Super Bowl.
In 2011, the lost their first game, and won the Super Bowl.
In all these cases, the teams didn't start the season with 2 games on the road.

At home, not on the road.

The fact that several teams have lost at least one game at this point is also in our favor. We need to simply focus on the now and not the possibilities. Beating Minn will get us back in the right direction.
