j/k - good post!
You hit on the key point why I follow football more closely than any sport - each and every game matters. In baseball, you could lose 16 games in a row and still make the playoffs. I don't know that the NFL is striving for 8-8 parity, though. I think they are striving more for the "any 5-11 team could be 11-5 the next year" parity. More importantly, I think they are trying to avoid any team being 14-2 every year. However, I get the impression they don't care too much about a team being 2-14 every year.

Thank you for the compliment on the post.
Whether the NFL is striving for it or not, the 5-11 to 11-5 swing is very possible now...as is the 11-5 to 5-11 swing.
Santana started every game for us this past season. Tiki was healthy for the Giants for most of the year. McNabb went down. When the roster talent is spread so thinly over 32 teams, a serious injury to one key player can determine whether you make the playoffs or not.
