Mahomes/Allen sweep HOU, GB, MIN and probably DEN. Defense earned JAX and NYG, so keep them. That's 12-13 wins

Good QB would have at least split with HOU, scored 17 on GB, which is already a division championship. Good QB probably would've beaten MIN that night. Hell, probably DEN, too.

Mishew level QB would've had us at 9-8 again.

Remember also better QB play would have meant the defense was on the field less. Rested defense = better results. This is not an endorsement of the scheme, yes I think moving on from it is a good thing. But they were gassed a lot the past two years. We had the most games decided by a few points in the league I believe. That’s the QB play difference.
