Most NFL teams use the offseason to improve their roster (except for teams in cap hell like the Steelers), so just improving upon what you were doesn't by definition translate to more wins. It's more like a margin utility thing - the team that improves more than other teams improve will see an improvement in record, and even then marginally.
-It is impossible for every team to add talent in free agency because every quality free agent signed by one team is a loss for their former team. We added talent while not losing any quality free agents.
-Every other team can not improve by having a Pro Bowl player return from injury.
-Every other team can not improve by adding an extra first round pick that did not play last year.
So we really should improve a lot more than most other etams.
