An 0-2 start isn't the end of the world

Opening an NFL season 0-2 does not automatically mean all hope is lost and the season is as good as over. Remember, the season is a marathon, not a sprint, and Week 2 is way too early to give up on making the playoffs. Over the last five years, there have been some success stories with teams that started out 0-2. Coaches, players and front offices have put too much time and effort into the offseason to give up after a slow start, and the league's roster and salary-cap rules make it nearly impossible for a team to make wholesale changes in-season. Teams might adjust their starting lineup, pick up street free agents to replace injured players or possibly turn over the bottom end of the roster and practice squads.
