If Fox doesn't start Matt Moore, I hope we go 0-16 so we get Bill Cowher next year!

I was going to call you a moron, but actually, "moron" is a compliment for someone like you.

Probability FAIL. Do you see why?

misread its 1.22 per year. still somebody does it on average every year sometimes more than one

We're going to get raped by Dallas.

That's not what I was pointing out.

Just because a certain % of teams that start 0-2 make the playoffs, does not mean that that same % of teams that have made the playoffs started 0-2.

Your guess may be right anyway despite this, but to infer that with certainty from the stat in the original post is incorrect. Unless I myself am missing something here...

I'll be pretty shocked if we make the playoffs, unfortunately. I thought we were totally outclassed today -- like, Ryan moved the ball downfield completely at will, and meanwhile every completion or big run we made involved some spectacular catch or stiffarm or bit of luck. I was ready to toss the Philly game out as an aberration, but it's looking pretty clear that this team just isn't very good. I think we're pretty lucky to have kept this game close.

With all the "we would have won if we had done this....." or "the refs cost us this game....", this quote is probably the smartest post I've read here today. On our last offensive possession, they gave us 50 yards, no contest at all. And on their last drive, Atlanta went into that stupid "prevent" offense that every team hates where they do ball control and just try to kill the clock...it was a three and out. IF they had wanted, they could have easily have put the game away.

And why all the crying? 0-2 sucks, but it's not the end of the season. We can learn alot about ourselves this year.

22 teams that started 0-2 have made the playoffs in the last 18 years per the article. 22/18=1.222222

so 1.22 out of 12 teams on average that are in the playoffs started the season 0-2

Gotcha. So this supposed probability fail was actually a Reading Comprehension fail on my end. Sorry about that.

Out of the current crop of 0-2 teams, I think we've got a shot if anybody does.

Carolina Panthers chance

And you know this how?

Carolina Panthers chance

Would you care to bet your life on that?

[Fox007]

And you know this how?

You watch more NFL than just the Panthers?

[bigdog10]

There is no way a team with this defense and with a QB who can't throw the ball down the field will make the playoffs

What is sad, is that this year will be a throw away in the careers of Stewart, Smith, Beason, Williams, and Davis.

[Jangler]

if we go to the playoffs or have a great season you really cant say your supported us...im tired of all this negativity. we lost today by 8. against a playoff team. last year we lost to them by 17? and after that game it wasnt the end of the world, so why is it now? its only week 3 for f***ing sakes

I live in a fantasy land where Fox changes.

That's all I see when I read this.
