Calibrating the DOOM Index for the Vikings and Jets

Andrew: Hello, and welcome to your Week 3 edition of Scramble for the Ball, in which your humble Scrambleteers resist the common urge to focus on what those know-it-all "experts" consider Good Football. Instead, we traditionally survey the wreckage of those select franchises who are already well on the way to having their dreams for the season crushed—and we haven't even reached the end of September.

Bryan: Finely crushed dreams are the currency we trade in here after Week 2, the home of our annual DOOM INDEX. Not all 0-2 teams are made equal, of course, and beginning with a pair of faceplants does not necessarily mean a team's season is over.
