Percentage of 2-0 team that make playoffs??

[NFLNetwork]

What percentage of 2-0 team make playoffs?? I know this is a wierd question, but I'm curious. Do most?? I'm sure someone knows the answer to this. WHat about 3-0 teams making the playoffs, because if we win next week......Im just curious.

Well when we went to the playoffs in 05, we started out 2-0. But still its long season and anything can happen. We should focus on the Giants before we start thinking playoffs.

[That Guy]

it's a high percentage... they talked about it on espn last time we were 2-0, but i don't remember exactly.

Joe Gibbs percentage of making the playoffs after a 2-0 start is 100%.

Wow if this is true, that is an awesome statistic!

That gives me alot of confidence, w/ or w/o Randy T.

I think we really need to get a hold of ourselves here. There's still a whole lot of football left, and there's some fine tuning the Redskins need to do.

They haven't even faced any stiff competition yet. At year's end, we may well look at the first two games of the season and say these were just warm up games.

Still, these are exactly the types of games you have to win, and we're winning those so far. And that's a HUGE difference from last year.

Come on back to Earth guys. Let's not start feeding this thread too much hype. This team is on a mission of redemption and respect one game at a time.

If we don't have anymore critical injuries I feel we will be okay.

No doubt we have a long way to go, but that doesnt mean that such a stat can't inspire confidence.

I have to disagree. Thinking about playoffs right now might be fun for us, but it would terrible for the team. For a good example, see last season. When all the players felt they would make the playoffs no matter what.

We have to continue to play with this attitude that no one in the league respects us. That goes for the Texans too. We both are teams that havent won consistently the last decade, so we cant let hubris bring us down.

Yeah, the big time injuries to key players needs to FUCKING STOP.

One or two more of those (even if they're not season-ending) and our season could easily be done.

While the second era of Gibbs has generally been regarded as a disappointment, let's look at the injury bug that has hit this team since he's been back:

2004 -- Jansen lost for the season (ruptured achilles)
2005 -- David Patten, put on IR
2006 -- Clinton Portis, Shawn Springs
2007 -- Jon Jansen, Randy Thomas

Those are big time injuries. 2005 was the luckiest we've been so far, and -- surprise! -- that's the year we make the playoffs.

I don't know if this was in response to my previous comment, but if it is..

Yeah, okay...we dont want the team to be over-confident, but as you said, I as a fan can appreciate such a stat. Im not saying that now I believe we are going to the playoffs, but I am a little more confident about the season..

So I guess I am saying that in general I concede to your argument, but I don't think it is destructive for me as a fan to get excited about such a stat.

[44_Riggins_44]

its football. any team can beat any team on any given day. statistics like this dont matter. u would have it consider the strength of the schedule and the personel. its just plain stupid to try to figure out

[onlydarksets]

This thread gives me deja vu...

I think they said on espn that it was like 66% of teams that started 2-0 went to the playoffs. not sure on the 3-0 . but first forget all that and just look at the game at hand now.. the vagiants
