5 teams are 0-2. Who makes the playoffs?

Bengals, Titans, Falcons, Panthers, Raiders 

##############################

Of the 400 teams to start 0-2 since the merger, only 38 (9.5%) have made the postseason.

But obviously now is a little different.

17 games. 7/14  playoff spots. 0-2 doesn't mean much. Heck, a team can go 0-8, win the next 9 and still get in. If 10-6 was good, so is 10-7 then.

So, who you think makes the playoffs of this group.

I think I he Raiders will still get in.

Maybe for once, Falcons.

This is a great question. Also, fantastic information. I will go with the Titans.

This is a great question. Also, fantastic information. I will go with the Titans.

I have a futures play on the Raiders,. So, I'm gonna say, not them

You mean,to not make it?

Raiders. Team is to talented to not be in the playoffs. It will just take a lil bit more time to mesh.

They play in the toughest division in football....You know Chiefs and Chargers are practical locks to make the playoffs...and you know 4 teams are not making the playoffs from that division...Even 3 is stretching it...Must win game for the Raiders this week...You cannot start off 0-3 in that division and make the playoffs...Each team in that division will beat each other up...

I wouldn't call either of those teams.. locks.

Chargers have a history of failure. KC is becoming human. 

Bengals Raiders have a better chance as far as actually have a chance to win tough games.. they have too much firepower to not make it..This is Derek Carrs Year to prove to everyone he can get his team to the playoffs Carr has several weapons and now Adams is there.. The bengals are also stacked on offense.. Oline needs to wake up..but these teams have a high potential in my opinion .. Ravens are definitely on the top of that mountain right now even though they lost..

Tennessee..I guess has a chance because of how crappy there division looks right now.. but I don’t think they have both sides of there offense running at a high capacity.. the run is solid with Henry but that Oline needs to run block better so he doesn’t get stuffed at the line then have to restart..he’s like a big rig…. it’s slow on the start but once it starts going you GTF out of its way or deal with the consequences..there pass game seems too inconsistent with Tannehill and say what you want but AJ Brown was the biggest loss for that team offensively HE WAS the pass game.. Game Changer…and I feel like Colts are going start heating up..Jacksonville is looking pretty good and Houston is a sneaky team they’re quiet good.. defense seems to keep them in games..

Falcons… to me are last years Detroit they will be in games but not close them they’re one more year away in my opinion 

Panthers… I can’t get a gauge on this team because they should be really good but it almost seems like they cant close games either

The Raiders are the only one of those teams that lost 2 very competitive games against playoff-level teams. So I'd go with them.

One of these teams is currently 2-0, 1st place in the Division and has been to 4 straight AFC title games and 2 Superbowls the past 3 years....

The other team has 2 playoff wins in the last decade....but hey, they are the same practical lock to make the playoffs.... 

That's a very untrue statement.

@chic-cardinals

 I’m going to say 2 of those teams make it in, Bengals and Raiders. Raiders will start to gel soon and Bengals just have to much talent on offense to not bully their way in….

I think in recent history since the playoffs expanded there’s been no luck for 0-2 teams to make the playoffs. Easy fades the rest of the year. 

bengals titans raiders all still have a shot imo

raiders have it tough cause they could go 1-5 2-4 in division, so they are pushing it

bengals OL looks bad again, they could be in trouble

titans division is trash

falcons division aint great, but they have a bottom 5 roster

panthers aint going anywhere with mayfield imo

7 teams and 17 games gives teams an incredible amount of chance to catch up.

Easy Fades the rest of the year? I doubt that

Why did the NFL give the Raiders only 2 Prime Time games this year and the rest of that division get 5 each?

Titans division is so weak they’ll still have a good shot at 0-3. (Interesting they play the Raiders this week)

A little tougher for Cinc because they’ve lost a division game. 

Atl and Caro can start building for next year. 

Interesting

@chic-cardinals

 I can’t see the failclowns making it. I’d pick saints to win the Dov over Tampa. Before the season started they crowned Tampa DiV winner. That ain’t happening…I’d think saints get it. Falcons blew a 13pt lead in the 4th. Doesn’t matter that it’s early season. It’s a Div opponent…

@BigBossRogers87

 I don’t follow AFC well? But that’d be my choice. Raiders. Titans suck ass. Atlanta sucks ass. Panthers suck, and bengals lost SB. Not saying they can’t get it? But doesn’t bode well for SB losers

Bengals are definitely not a playoff team. Titans look terrible, but they still have a lot of talent on that team, so I wouldn't put it past them, but it doesn't look good early.
