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.
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.
Of the last 60 teams to go 0-2, only one made the playoffs. Last year's Panthers.
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.
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
Overall, roughly 10% of 0-2 teams have made the playoffs, if one starts compiling results from 1990 or later.
2013 0-6 7-9
2007 0-2 10-6
1996 0-3 6-10

1992 0-2 6-10
1987 0-5 6-9
1982 0-3 4-5
1979 0-5 6-10

Agreed. This could easily be another 2007 if we get healthy.

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

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.

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