Exactly.  9 or 10 wins would have gotten into the playoffs on the AFC side every year since 2011...the extra wins are just a bonus we haven't turned into an advantage yet anyways.  I'd bet the lowest seed in the AFC gets in the playoffs with 9 or 10 wins again this year, so it isn't the end of the world if we don't go 13-3.
