0-2 is a different story. If this is a playoff team, we'll take a lot of frustration from this first half out on Green Bay. Problem is, they're looking to do the same thing to us. There's no such thing as a must win in the first two weeks, but even good teams that begin 0-2 usually don't recover to make the playoffs.

Only one team in the last 5 years. That is not good for the Redskins then.

One famous exception to the rule.

2002 Tennessee Titans started the season 1-4.

And that's about it for recent examples. Unless you start counting 8-8 teams that made the postseason. It's not uncommon for good teams to start 0-2 and then play 8-6 the rest of the way, that happens all the time. But its a pretty bad plan for making the playoffs.
