With that hat trick, Dallas fans can rest at ease knowing they have already found Romo's replacement.
Apparently you could go 3-13 or worse and still make the playoffs. Although 6-10 seems the more realistic limit.
Whats the worst record an NFL team could have while still making the playoffs? | For The Win
Funny thing is those shit teams won their wildcard game when they made it.

Question is how "shit" were those teams really though? When you look at the schedules both the 2010 Seahawks and last year's Panthers played, the divisions in the opposing conference and the one in their conference (not their own) were both extremely tough.
2010 Seahawks had to play the AFC West and the NFC South. AFC West had 3 teams at .500 or better, and the NFC South had 3 teams with 10+ wins. Their other two conference opponents (3rd place finishers from 2009) were Chicago and the Giants. Both were also 10+ win teams. That means they played 6 teams with 10+ wins that year, who accounted for 5 losses.
2014 Panthers might have had an even tougher schedule. They played the AFC North and the NFC North. AFC North last year had 3 teams with 10+ wins (all 3 made the playoffs in the AFC as well). NFC North last year had 2 teams with 11+ wins (both made the playoffs). Their other two conference opponents were Seattle and Philly, both 10+ win teams. Panthers played 7 teams that had 10+ wins last year. They lost 5 of those games and tied another (Bengals).
TLDR: Their schedules were brutal.

I can maybe buy into the Panthers being the exception to the rule, but the 2010 Seattle Seahawks just weren't very good. Their losses were;
4-12 Denver Broncos (31-14)
7-9 St. Louis Rams
8-8 Oakland Raiders
10-6 Giants (41-7)
11-5 Saints (34-19)
10-6 Chiefs (42-24)
6-10 49ers
13-3 Falcons (34-18)
10-6 Tampa (38-15)
Seattle only beat 2 winning record teams a 11-5 Bears team who they later lost to in the playoffs, and a 9-7 Chargers team. All 9 of their losses were by 2 or more touchdowns and their total point differential for the year remains the lowest by a playoff team in NFL history at a whopping -97. The game that decided the division that year was a week 17 match up between a 6-9 team (Seattle) and the 7-8 rams team.
