Normally the 6th seed gets bounced right out of the playoffs. You could argue does a 9-7 team even deserve to get in at all? A 13-3 team should have earned the right to not to even have to play a 9-7 team for the 3rd time in a year that gets the benefit of an offside call that gifts them a 1st drive scoring TD and the benefit of a Patrick Crayton drop.
Normally it all evens out. Normally the division champ has a pretty good record and normally the wildcard teams usually do not have a stellar record. And some years the division is really good & some years it is bad. The NFC West is the best division in football. 2-3 years ago it was the worst.
