I'm having a hard time thinking of a consistent 'win, loss, win, loss' team this year. Most teams this year were either win, win, win, win, win, or, lose, lose, lose, lose, lose. Many of the teams that are close to 500 had spurts of winning games in a row to make up ground for losing four games in a row earlier in the season.
I've noticed how odd the overall records of teams has been ever since they divided up the league into these new divisions. I think there need to be some changes. The NFC South, for instance: Tampa Bay, Carolina, New Orleans, and Atlanta, what is that? None of those teams have any history to them at all. The AFC South is filled with expansion teams and teams that were moved from their original cities. The AFC North has two teams from the same state, and the NFC West has a weird feel to it as well.
I don't know, four teams just doesn't seem like enough teams for a division, especially the way it's divided up right now. With the way things are going, I wouldn't be surprised at all to see a 6-10 in the playoffs in a couple of years.
