I don't think any 2 win team has ever won a playoff game the next year... so it'd be something if they could do it.

I've said it before, but I believe they were better than a 2-14 team on paper last year, that season just happened to feature what was probably the craziest horror show combination of coaching and circumstance and snowballing misfortune that I can ever remember. It was like an embodiment of Murphy's Law. And although I didn't see 9-0 coming any more than anyone else (and let's be honest: nobody saw that..) I never thought a turnaround would be all that difficult with this roster

Although, you know, at this point, I think it's maybe time to dispense with all the "2-14 last year" talk. This is a 9-0 team. What they are right now is a lot more pertinent than what they were 12 months ago, and after the season they've had so far, a playoff win should be expected, rather than a longshot. Assuming they don't collapse in the next two months, this isn't going to be anything like the 2006 or 2010 teams backdooring their way in, and they shouldn't get their shit pushed in the way those teams did. This team is good enough to win one.
