It's a fine line in professional sports, especially the salary cap leagues.
The NFL and NHL especially are brutally tough on teams being able to sustain and stay in playoff spots. The margin between winning and losing is extremely small.
MLB and NBA are getting there but still favor the big dogs.
So you aren't crazy...the difference between 6-10 and 10-6 can really come down to your schedule and a few clutch plays. The 10-6 chiefs in Reid's first year are the poster child for this. Not a great team but got some early clutch plays to get to 3-0 start. Gibbs v2.0 team that started 3-0 also similar...
