How have the Giants fared after starting 0 - 2?

upstatenyg : 9/15/2014 9:35 am
I remember the 07 start of 0 - 2, and what happened that year - and of course last year, but under Coach Coughlin, have there been other 0 -2 starts

0-2 is generally a death sentence in the NFL

0-3 and you can throw the dirt on the casket
the only 0-2 starts under Coughlin

were last year and the super bowl year.

Overall, roughly 10% of 0-2 teams have made the playoffs, if one starts compiling results from 1990 or later.
Not under Coughlin and historically

How about when we started 5-0

And finished 3-8. I'd rather finish like 2007 than start like 2009

Agreed. This could easily be another 2007 if we get healthy.
(Beckham/Beason).

That would be great, but in 2007 we had a top tier offensive line, with a good running game, and a true X in Burress.
I don't think that

2007 is a good comparison point for anything. That was probably a once in a lifetime season. It makes more sense to look at the big picture regarding 0-2 starts in the NFL.

Of the last 60 teams to go 0-2, only one made the playoffs. Last year's Panthers.
Who did the Panther's beat...  
Drewcon40 : 9/15/2014 1:31 pm : link
..in week 3, last year to springboard that accomplishment?
0-2  
Les in TO : 9/15/2014 1:39 pm : link
only means that there is a hole to climb out of. all three phases of the game need to improve. the health of the gmen and opponents will also play a role.

the giants need to play with a sense of focus, displine and intensity against houston. drops turnovers and penalties need to be avoided.

Looks like that's true. The cutoff of 60 teams must leave out the three 0-2 teams that made it in 2008, so the percentage is significantly lower than the longer-term percentage.

So we have a 50% chance of winning the Super Bowl.

I like it.
I think  
Jerry in DC : 9/15/2014 2:11 pm : link
we have a lot in common with that 1924 team. The fact that they turned it around should be an inspiration to our guys.
Err....  
Jerry in DC : 9/15/2014 2:11 pm : link
"1925 team". Can't believe I made that mistake again.
This team stinks  
NYG007 : 9/15/2014 2:35 pm : link
it is littered with cast offs who were cut by sometimes 3-4 other teams

We all bleed blue, we should be rooting for 0-16, because only that will force a GM who doesnt get lucky once out of what 8 drafts? And a coach stuck in 1965 changed.

Sorry, Thank you JR, TC and Eli for the 2 rings. Do what is right and rebuild for another one, with a real scouting dept. I wonder how good Gettleman did his first draft? Hmm, 5 pro bowlers? JR has 2, in 7 years
