Against the odds

Any of y'all ever start the season 0-5 and still make the playoffs? Anyone every even seen or heard of it happening? After last night's traveshamockery that's probably what I'm facing in my local.

Checking my local's 12 year history, this has never happened.

 

No team has started 0-4 or worse and made the playoffs.

 

Mine is the only team to make the playoffs despite a 5 game losing streak. That streak started in week 7 of 2004 after going 5-1 to open the season.

 

I would guess that teams starting out winless are more likely to give up on the season, but a 5 game losing streak can be overcome.

A guy in my local last year had a shaky draft (except for Foster), and started 0-5. He wound up getting Cruz, Nelson and Gonzo off the waiver wire and went undefeated for the rest of the season. True story, I have never seen anything like it. He wouldn't comment or talk smack in league at all once he started winning, too afraid to jinx himself!

 

We were all actually rooting for him once the streak got going. He had just lost both of his parents in a brutal two week stretch at the beginning of the season so it was really a feel good story!
