No respect.

Cleveland became just the fifth team to miss the postseason despite winning 10 games.

They didn't include the '89 Packers on the list. I had to post here. It bugged me, but ESPN makes it impossible to contact somebody to vent.

Other teams missing the playoffs at 10-6 or better include:
1979 Redskins
1980 Patriots
1981 Broncos
1985 Redskins, Broncos (who were 11-5)
1986 Seahawks, Bengals,
1988 Saints, Giants
1989 Packers, Redskins

At the very least they should have qualified their statement with "since the playoffs expanded to 12 teams in 1990", since that's clearly what the editorial staff was thinking.

Nevermind, Lurker covered my post far more succinctly than I did.
