0-2 is the worst for who?

The nfl is America's most popular sport and parody is one of the main reasons. It seems that every year a team that finished at the bottom of the pack the previous season makes the playoffs the following year. Fans of all teams (well most teams) go into each new season feeling like it could be their time, their turn. That also means that at least one team that made the playoffs last year will not go back. We all know how unforgiving the nfl is to teams that start the season 0-2, and five of the eight division winners from a year ago lost their opener. Of San Diego, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Minnesota, and Dallas, which team would be least likely to overcome an 0-2 deficit?

Let's rule out Indy and Minnesota. Manning? Favre? Ok, moving on. San Diego lost a heart breaker, but the Chargers under head coach Norv Turner have a reputation for strong finishes. The afc west is also the weakest division of this group. Cincinnati seems most likely to start 0-2 with a confident Ravens bunch coming to town. They should be ok with Carolina, Cleveland, and Tampa Bay following. The Bengals should be at worst 4-3 when they head into their Monday Night showdown with the Steelers on November 8. The Dallas Cowboys are the team that absolutely can not afford to lose to Chicago this weekend, and for so many reasons. Owner, general manager, and head coach Jerry Jones put a ton of public pressure on his team to be the first to host the super bowl as a participant. Following the Cowboys head scratching defeat to the Redskins, rumors started surfacing out of the local media of a possible riff between co head coach and defensive coordinator Wade Phillips and co head coach slash offensive coordinator Jason Garrett. The offense was offensive in the preseason and atrocious in the regular season opener. Now lets get to the schedule. The Cowboys face the Texans, Titans, Vikings, and Giants next. Throw in a dreaded trip to Lambeau Field and both super bowl participants from last year in back to back weeks and you have a must win game on your hands Sunday.
