Dallas 1993
I remember. 35-17 loss @ Washington, 13-10 loss at home to Buffalo without Emmitt. Then Emmitt got signed and they went 12-2. That would be the caveat to that one. That was the only reason Dallas started 0-2. But I read you. I haven't given up on the Saints this year.

Who was the D coordinator for those 2007 Giants?
Spagnuola.

found some more sunshine examing the history of 0-2 teams...
The Saints have scored 59 points through two games, the fourth-highest total of any team to start 0-2 since 1990. The 1994 Patriots (70 points), the 2008 Chargers (62) and the 2002 Vikings (62) were the only teams to score more points, and the Patriots and the Chargers each went on to make the playoffs. Only 15 teams even reached 45 points after two games, and one of those was the 2007 Giants, an eventual Super Bowl champion (the other was the 2002 Atlanta Falcons). That means 27 percent of the teams to score at least 45 points but start 0-2 went on to make the playoffs, and that number probably underestimates New Orleans’s chances considering just how effective the Saints’ offense has been over the past half-decade.
2012 blueprint: The Saints stand out as the 0-2 team most likely to turn it around. High-scoring teams always have a chance to win, and the Saints are still capable of winning a bunch of shootouts in 2012.
Only 23 teams won at least 11 games and then started off 0-2 during this period; as you might suspect, a relatively high percentage, 26 percent, of those teams still managed to make the playoffs. Being a good team and starting off the season 0-2 is unusual, but a few bad breaks could distort the quality of any team. The Philadelphia Eagles went 12-4 in both 2002 and 2003. But in ’03, the Eagles faced the defending Super Bowl champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 1 and the eventual Super Bowl champion New England Patriots in Week 2, losing to both. The ’92 Steelers went 11-5 but started the season against an excellent 49ers team that went on to lead the league in points differential. In Week 2, they put up a clunker of a game in Los Angeles, but the Steelers got back to their winning ways the rest of the season. The ’08 Chargers, ’90 Eagles, ’02 Steelers and ’93 Cowboys also fit the model of teams with at least 11 wins in the prior season.
2012 blueprint: The Saints won 13 games last season, but only 2 of the 8 teams that started 0-2 after winning 13 or 14 games still qualified for the playoffs. In a very difficult division in what appears to be the tougher conference, it’s not going to be easy for New Orleans.
