Don't Forget About the Eagles

The Eagles have started the season 1-2, and for the moment are last place in the NFC East. Some experts speculate that the Eagles's future may be bleak this season and beyond. However, the Eagles are remarkably consistent at two things: starting slow and making the playoffs.

In 2010, they started 2-2 but finished the season with a record of 10-6 and made the playoffs. In 2009 the Eagles were a pedestrian 5-4 after 9 games but finished 11-5 and made the playoffs. In 2008 the Eagles started 2-3 but finished 9-6-1 and made the playoffs.

You get the idea. We can't read too much into the Eagles' slow start in 2011. History says it could be another slow start to another good season.
