Off the top of my head:

Tennessee Titans

Jacksonville Jaguars
Cleveland Browns
Kansas City Chiefs
Oakland Raiders

I'm less surprised by who's 0-2 (Saints excepted) than I am by how many good teams are NOT 2-0.

Houston Texans
Philadephia Eagles
Arizona Cardinals
San Diego Chargers
(2 more will be added after the night games)

With the exception of the Texans...all of those teams are beatable by the Bears. And even the Texans...could go either way.

With the Bears, if it's equal talent at positions OK, but if the other teams COACHES seem to be smarter( which it becoming a normal thing), and the talent the same, I'd would have to lean in favor of the other team. It may seem like a DUHH statement, but with the equality in the NFL nowadays, it really matters.

I guess the Cardinals would be the early surprise team.

It's interesting how close most of the games were also .

Here's a list of the 1-0 teams who lost in week 2:

Chicago Bears
Washington Redskins
New York Jets
Minnesota Vikings
Baltimore Ravens
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
New England Patriots
Dallas Cowboys
Detroit Lions
(MNF game yet to be played)


That leaves ONLY 5 teams who have reached 2-0:

Houston Texans
Philadephia Eagles
Arizona Cardinals
San Diego Chargers
San Francisco 49ers
(MNF game to be played)

And 5 teams that are 0-2
Tennessee Titans
New Orleans Saints
Jacksonville Jaguars
Cleveland Browns
Kansas City Chiefs
Oakland Raiders


MNF is between Atlanta & Denver, both of which are 1-0.



Oh, and the NFCN is comprised of 4 teams all with a 1-1 record. AFC East is also all 1-1. AFC South & AFC West each has 2 teams at 0-2. NFC West has two teams at 2-0 & AFC West has potential to have 2 teams at 2-0 (as well as two at 0-2).

Well, seeing how most games have been played, the bears aren't bottom feeders, but aren't elite. But it bears mentioning the Giants weren't sb favorites until the end of the 4th quarter of the sb last year. Some of those 0-2 teams, and even 1-1 can't play, flat out. Hopefully we get a groove going against a good/decent rams team and an equally okay cowboys team.
