Is an (0-2) start a Death Blow in the NFL?
After waiting all summer it can be depressing when your favorite team loses its first NFL game. If your team loses its first TWO games, then out right panic ensues. Coaches should be fired. Players should be cut. Starting quarterbacks should be replaced. Extreme measures should be taken. Why? Because, historically (0-2) teams don’t make the playoffs. In fact, if your NFL team starts (0-2) there is about an 88 percent chance it won’t make it to the post season.
