Since the 2004 season, only one team has lost in Week 1 and gone on to win the Super Bowl: The New York Giants.
So those of us with 0-1 teams, as much as it pains me to say it, the odds are not in our favor.

And they started off 0-2 that year. So hope isn't lost yet.
I heard about SF but not Indy. The guy in SF appeared drunk as reported by some witnesses.

Also started 0-1 in 2011, the year they went 9-7 and still won the Super Bowl.
In last season's NFL thread I would do a "What I've Learned from This Week" thing, so why not do it again?
What I've learned through week 1 (now keep in mind, teams aren't really themselves yet. It takes time to get a team going, and I think that's why there were so many mistakes in week 1).
- The Ravens looked good coming out of the gates, but quickly became a team that is full of flaws and mistakes.
- The Broncos looked like a great passing team, but their running game looked average at the very best.
- The Patriots got the win, but there were problems all over. Receivers and tight ends look like a problem until Gronkowski returns.
- The Bills almost beat the Patriots. Take away whatever you want from that.
- The Seahawks lacked star power on offense. 12 points is not going to cut it in this league. On the other hand, their defense held the Panthers to 7 points.
- The Bengals look like they could be a very good team, but they need to limit the turnovers.
- The Bears' defense looks like a turnover machine thus far, but was it really them, or was it the Bengals?
- Miami beat the Browns. Didn't really see/hear much about the game to tell anything about them.
- Adrian Peterson had one good run and a bunch of mediocre runs, 2,500 yards? Not off to a good start.
- The Lions defense looked solid, but their offense had a lot of mistakes.
- Terrelle Pryor looked good for the most part and almost led the Raiders to a victory over Indy.
- The Jaguars haven't changed.
- The Chiefs have changed.
- The Falcons lost to a tough division rival. Their season is not over.
- The Saints won against a tough division rival. Their season could be looking bright.
- The Jets WON?! This is the big shocker of the week.
- The Buccaneers should be embarrassed for obvious reasons.
- The Titans had the Steelers' number the entire day. Is this a sign of week one hiccups by the Steelers or the Titans can be a playoff team?
- The Packers run defense is by far better than last year. They hung with the best team in football and proved they are tough, and they can contend for a title.
- The 49ers looked like a Super Bowl team. Anquan Boldin for a 6th round pick? Steal.
- The Cardinals have potential to make some noise. They scored 24 points on a tough Rams defense.
- The Giants shouldn't have been that close to a victory. There were far too many mistakes, and they frankly weren't ready to start the season.
- The Cowboys are off to a strong start with a division win, but can they keep it up?
- The Eagles took advantage of a rusty RGIII. Will the Eagles and Redskins remain this way, or was week 1 just a fluke?
- The Chargers collapsed... shocker.
- The Texans could make some noise, but can't afford to fall behind by 21 points again.
Normally I won't do all 32 teams, but I figured I should week 1.

I only heard about the Indy accident because my inlaws live in Kokomo. Two fans were leaning against the railing over the visiting team tunnel and the railing just gave way and they fell onto the tunnel's walkway. Neither were injured very seriously but imagine the lawsuit.

The Dolphins played a good game. The Browns, well, they're the Browns.

Patriots with another offensive blow with Danny Amendola unlikely to play Thursday night vs the Jets. Could the Jets possibly win? They stopped the run last week vs Tampa, and they arguably have a better running game. Also the Pats have no big name receivers without Amendola and Gronkowski so this could be an interesting game
