Re: Seasons on the brink: Which 0-2 teams can still get to postseason?
It is not good enough to feel comfy at home. There are only 8 games at home and that does not get anyone into the playoffs. We need to win at least 5 road games and all 8 home games. Yes the pressure is on or the season is lost. How will they respond over the next few weeks?

If you really feel that way I guess it's time to start talking about the draft in mid September. And who we need in free agency. And who the next DC is going to come in a resurrect the Dome Patrol. BTW, that's sarcasm. The season may in fact be lost. But that isn't today. Playoff seeding doesn't even make sense until about week 10, and isn't generally clear at all until week 14 or 15. If after 15 weeks, the team is below 500, then I could understand the sentiment above. But it's week 2. SFIAH |
