What does a team's record tell you about the team?

I always think a certain thing about teams with certain records, and I want to ask the MCM community if you agree or disagree and why.

16-0 to 13-3: Great teams. These teams should contend for a Conference Championship if not a Super Bowl. Very complete teams with little to no flaws.

12-4 to 10-6: Very Good teams. These teams should make noise in the playoffs (if they make it, example 2008 New England Patriots) and have a ood shot at the Super Bowl.

9-7 to 7-9: Good teams. Since they are around .500 they can beat bad teams and they lose to very good to great teams. If they make the playoffs they can pull an upset or two, but I don't expect much from them. Unless they have a significant winning streak (>3 wins).

6-10 to 4-12: Bad teams. Something isn't quite right with this team. Be it offense or defense, something doesn't execute up to par. Maybe bad coaching, but if the coach is new they deserve at least one more seaon to turn it around.

3-13 to 1-15: Very Bad teams. Not much more needs to be said. They don't do a lot good, but they beat somebody.

0-16: Terrible teams. There are only a few teams to never win a game (thank goodness), but the entire organization needs a reboot (see 2008 Detroit Lions).
