I think you need to revise that statement and it's not true. It's illogical thinking.
Yes an 11-5 team might miss the playoffs but you also will have either 1 "10-6 division winner and/or two 9-7 division winners and/or one at 8-7-1 division"
Division parity seems to be lacking.....but lets not forget that this powerhouse division the NFC West, is just threes years offset (2010) from having a division winner at 7-9 which was the seahawks. It's kind of like Karma for being the only division winners ever below .500. This crappy part is the cardinals are gettign the crap end both times. They are just a tad worse than there division rivals on good years and bad years.
I do recall that year the division was a laughing stock!
