The odds of making the playoffs after starting 1-4 are VERY heavily stacked against you. Realistically speaking, you need at least 10 wins to make the playoffs. Sometimes you get in with 9, but not very often. Sometimes 10 doesn't get you in (see Tampa Bay and the Giants last year). I just don't see the Eagles only losing 2 or fewer games the rest of the way this year. I guess they could catch fire, but they seem like a beaten team right now and we all know how this stuff can snowball out of control. They are talented, but so were we last year. We know how that ended up for us. Hopefully the same happens to the Eagles. The Giants have an absolutely brutal scheduled in the last half of the season. I think they're probably done as well. Who would have thought a very average Foreskin team would provide our biggest challenge to the NFC East title. As bad as the breaks have been for us so far this year, I now think we win the East. Washington just isn't very good offensively and we're finally getting healthy. A win next week against New England on the road would wash the bad taste out of everybody's mouth regarding the Jets and Lions debacles.
