Which 0-4 team will win first? Win last? (1 Viewer)

[QuizGuy66]

With 4 teams at 0-4 (the Buccaneers, Giants, Jaguars, and Steelers) there is the extremely rare situation at this junction of the season where there are 4 teams that all can go 0-16 this year (it just so happens that none of these teams play each other this - 4 is the highest number of winless/tieless teams that can happen).

While there is the thread speculating about what the Steelers will do with the #1 pick (that has become sort of a catch all for all of the winless teams) I figured I'd put the poll questions up to the FBG voters. What do you think?

Picked Steelers to win first. Now they won't.

Steelers at Jets week 6

Bucs hosting Eagles week 6

Giants hosting Vikings week 7

Wouldn't be surprised at all if the Jags don't win a game.

I think the Bucs are the best of the group. Pretty good defense. Quality running back, receivers, and decent O-Line. Young QB who hopefully will get better as the year goes on.

Giants have too potent weapons on offense not to get it together and win a game. Will definitely be a race between them and the Steelers, but think the Giants do it first. JAX will be last, but they will win a game, if only because Any Given Sunday. I can see them upsetting the Rams on the road or the Chargers at home, but most likely will be vs TEN.

I think the Jags have a real shot to go 0-16. That lions team was bad but barely lost quiet a few games. The Jags cant even score a TD it seems

 

[Breesisdaman]

Giants or Steelers win first, the rest is fodder. Jax will win last as usual

 

[Mt. Man]

JAX has a decent chance this week against a not exactly stellar Rams team, but if they lose, I only see 2 or 3 reasonable chances.

PIT should beat the Jets and Giants will either win this week or against MIN (If not both).

If Tampa loses week 6, I don't know that they'll win before Week 14.

Originally voted Giants but the more I think about it I voted Bucs. The line play for the Giants has really been attrocious. They've been losing these games on merit. The Bucs just have an incredible capacity to blow games at the end. They've managed to come from ahead 3 times in the 4th quarter to pull out the loss. Have to think at some point they'll meet a team that is able to trip them up by failing to excute their comeback at the end and the Bucs accidentally win. Crazy to think they very well could be 3-1 right now. The other 3 teams can't say that at all.

FWIW, the Steelers are the only one to be still trying to pull off the super perfecto as they were 0-4 in the preseason as well.

This last statement is not completely true. Steelers had opportunities to win/tie game by atleast the 4th quarter at various points in every game this season (down by 1 possession or less).

vs. Titans (Final Score - 16-9)

@ Bengals (Final Score - 20-10, only down by 7 17-10 going into 4th QTR)

vs. Bears (Final Score - 40-23, Steelers down by 4 27-24 in 4th QTR with 5 min. remaining before Cutler TD driver and ensuing turnover with 4 min. remaining)

@ Vikings (Final Score - 34-27, had ball in red zone :30 left in game before turnover)

The problem with the Steelers is turnovers (offense making too many, defense not enough -- obviously, as the grand total of 0 through Week 4). Without turning the ball over, the Steelers I think could've won a few of these games. But alas....

I am not sure which will win first and I don't want to look at each schedule. I would rank them in this order.

Steelers

Giants

Tampa

Jacksonville

Steelers at Jets week 6

Bucs hosting Eagles week 6

Giants hosting Vikings week 7

I think the Bucs are the best of the group. Pretty good defense. Quality running back, receivers, and decent O-Line. Young QB who hopefully will get better as the year goes on.

What about Giants hosting Eagles week 5?

With Dallas playing Denver, the Giants could only be a game out of first next week.

 

[pats3in4]

Going the George Costanza route...

Jaguars will be first to win. Steelers will be last to win.

You want to know what is sick? Had the Giants won that game against the Cowboys week 1 the entire division would have been 1 - 3. This division sucks

Not quite the same. Those were games where Pittsburgh was still close in the fourth quarter, but Pittsburgh's win probability has not once been over 50% in the final 25 minutes of a game this season. There have been three games this season where Tampa's odds of winning were literally greater than 95% within the final 5 minutes of the game, and Tampa lost all three.

Definitely considered them there. I just think the Eagles will tear up their defense.

Yup. I'd be very interested in action on NYG winning the division.

 

[drummer]

The question now is: which undefeated team will lose first?

 

[QuizGuy66]

So a majority of the voters seem to think the Jaguars will win a game this year
