Welp, that was fun while it lasted. Didn't think I would need to start this thread this early, but it is hard to see much light at the end of the tunnel with the brutal schedule. 

As of this writing, the Bears are one of 7 teams at 0-2, with 2-3 more likely by the end of the week. So the entire top 10 may be winless after two weeks. What sucks for the Bears is the reverse order SOS, so not only do you get punished in season with the toughest schedule, that also equates to the worst draft pick.

The league should move to strength of victory as the tie-breaker, and only use SOS for 0-17 teams. That would be a much more accurate indication of a team's true strength.

1. NO 0-2 (.407 SOS)
2. NYJ 0-2
3. MIA 0-2
4. TEN 0-2
5. CLE 0-2
6. NYG 0-2
7. CHI 0-2 (.600 SOS)
8. CAR 0-1
9. ATL 0-1
10. KC 0-1
11. HOU 0-1 (.654 SOS)

looking at the schedule I see about 9-10 more losses coming.

The positive spin to this is that KC is also 0-2.  After tonight either Harbaugh's Chargers or Pete Carroll's Raiders will have the sole lead on the AFC West.  

I haven't seen a lot of games outside of Chicago's so far but the little I did see I'm surprised to see the Giants at 0-2.  Had it not been for the leg of Dallas' kicker and being able to 'easily' knock in 60+ yard FGs, the Giants would at least .500.  

Updated after MNF:

1. NYJ 0-2 (.471 SOS)
2. NO 0-2 (.471 SOS)
3. MIA 0-2
4. CLE 0-2
5. TEN 0-2
6. CHI 0-2 (.559 SOS)
7. NYG 0-2
8. KC 0-2
9. CAR 0-2
10. HOU 0-2 (.647 SOS)

7 of the top 10 draft teams are still in the top 10 from last year. Falling out were JAX, NE, and LVR, all who are 1-1 and JAX is the only team of the 3 to have a plus point differential after 2 games. The 3 teams that replaced them are MIA, HOU, and KC. MIA seemed to be trending this way since last year. HOU has always been a shaky team right at the cusp of winning and losing, but KC is pretty shocking since the matched their loss total from last year in 2 weeks. 

However, with 7 of 10 still in the top (or bottom) 10, and the other 3 teams only 1-1 really shows that it is hard to move out of the basement, just like a 32-yr kid who is unemployed. 

Week 3 Tankathon Standings:

1. NYJ 0-3
2. NO 0-3 
3. TEN 0-3
4. MIA 0-3

Week 8 Tankathon Standings.

7. BAL 2-5
8. LVR 2-5
9. ARZ 2-5

The Bears are trending to draft between 10-18 right now, with 14 as the median.
