Which 2-0 Teams Won't Qualify for Playoffs

D9Male

So, which of the teams with perfect records so far are enjoying false dawns?

Billy86

Eagles, Texans and Giants would be the most likely I'm my opinion.

I am an idiot; didn't allow multiple selections. Guess we can pick the teams who will end up with the worst records.

I think Baltimore. They have had a soft start.

Moist Bread

None. They're all scutter. New England have the best chance.

Mysterypunter

Philly will fall away,starting Sunday against Pittsburgh

Paully D

Ravens and Eagles.

I'm not a big fan of the Texans either but their division is very soft and they're already 2 games up on the Colts so I think they might scrape through (though I'd pick the Colts as the 0-2 team most likely to make the playoffs).

How good is that Ravens' defence, Paully? Improvement, evidently. But are they okay yet, or still well below average?

Bateman

Surprised people are so down on the Ravens. They were crippled with injuries last season, and still lost a lot of single-score games. They're a model "find a way" team.

KrustyUCC

Giants will get hit by the injury bug again

Eagles

Statistics show you have around a 75% chance of making the playoffs after going 3-0. The following are now 3-0 after this week's games:

Broncos
Eagles
Patriots
Ravens
Vikings

The Ravens stand out like a sore thumb on that list for me as they have had a fairly soft schedule to date (2 of the teams they have beat are now 0-3)

I completely agree, but:

Yet we could be 5-0 in a couple of weeks and will hopefully be no worse than 4-1 as we host the Raiders and Redskins in the next 2.

When you look at the schedule however there's obviously 4 games against the Steelers and Bengals to come and a trip to New England that are scary, but apart from that:

@ Giants
@ Jets
@ Cowboys

Vs Dolphins
Vs Eagles

If we even went 2-3 in the divisional + Patriots games, split the New York trip and the 2 home games and throw in a defeat in Dallas and you're looking at around a 9-7 or 10-6 season depending on how the next 2 home games go.

Complete guesswork of course and we could very easily go 0-5 or 1-4 from the Bengals/Steelers/Patriots games.

It will be interesting to follow as we look miles from a playoff team IMO but the W's are adding up.

That is actually a very manageable schedule alright, really should give ye a shot at making the playoffs.
