I'd prefer a 9-10 wins option. Whether or not we make the playoffs is a pretty simple minded distinction because those are things that are often beyond a team's control. If we won 9 and made the playoffs would that mean we played better than a team that won 10 and didn't?
And if we won 10 games, made the playoffs, and the QB played well but we lost, and the GM stated that loss was the reason we were not retaining the first decent QB we'd had n a decade, if I were the owner I'd fire him on the spot.
