Does anything less than a playoff appearance = Bye Bye Pioli?

While I am a believer in "you are what your record says you are" the fine line between 0 - 16 and 2 - 14 isn't worth arguing over.

When I watched the Lions play with Stafford that year and compared what I saw from them with the what I saw from the Chiefs that season, the Lions were quite a bit better.

The Lions were in a tough division then, facing Jared Allen & co plus Aaron Rodgers & co. and the Bears were decent then. The Chiefs were in perhaps the weakest division in the NFL.
