The article is 2 years old, but it details teams that have overcome awful starts to squeak into the playoffs. From the time this article was written in 2009, 20 teams have been 3 games below .500 at some point during the season and made the playoffs, and just 9 have started 1-4 and advanced. I personally have little hope regarding the Eagles chances, but 1-4 teams have made the postseason more than I thought.
