have resulted in the Redskins making the Playoffs.

That is right 5 of the last 6 times the Redskins have started 2-0 the have made the playoffs. Granted all 5 were under Joe Gibbs and the one time the Skins did not make the playoffs well it was during the Steve Spurrier Era.

Nice stat.

I'd be curious what Shanny's record is. But WAY too lazy to look it up.

The rise of the Chargers in the AFC West really put the Broncos under pressure.

Shanahan didn't fare as well when he went away from the front office that had delivered Terrell Davis and so many other players over the years.

Mike taking over the job defacto as the GM didn't work out as AJ Smith in San Diego far out-performed him in finding future talent.
