Eagles Slim Playoff Chances

"Playoffs, don't talk about playoffs; you kidding me, playoffs?"  Thanks Jim Mora for that lovely introduction.

As awful as the 5-8 Eagles season has been, they're miraculously still in the playoff hunt.  This was made possible because of the struggling NFC East.

Sunday's 26-10 victory in Miami helped keep the Eagles on life support as they head into their next game against the New York Jets at home.



However, there are a lot of things that need to happen besides the Eagles having to win out all of their games.

First, Dallas' schedule looks like this: at Tampa Bay, Philadelphia and at New York against the Giants.

• Dallas needs to lose at least 2 games.
• If Dallas beats the Giants, then Dallas has to lose against Tampa Bay    

Second, the Giants' schedule looks like this: Washington, at New York Jets and Dallas.

• The Giants' needs to lose at least 2 games.  
• If the Giants sweep Dallas, then they have to lose to the Redskins and Jets for the Eagles to have a shot.  

It really all comes down to this upcoming week.  The Eagles need at least one upset to happen, whether it is the Giants losing to Washington or Dallas losing to Tampa Bay.  

The Eagles performance this year has been abysmal from offense to defense to coaching. Although they don't deserve to be in the playoffs and a losing record would surely eliminate Andy Reid from coaching this team, I still bleed green!  Hopefully, the switch has turned on for this team.

                 I still believe.  Miracles can happen.  

                            Just ask Tim Tebow.
