"no excuses"

No excuses one way or another at the end of the season. Injuries, meltdowns, rookies, new coaches, etc, etc.

Many of us hit the nail on the head at this time last year when we predicted the Rams would go 7-9. Personally, I`m not expecting any better in 2016.

Injuries cannot be predicted in advance and there are injuries that do have a direct effect on the outcome.

So I didn't' follow your "rules." I don't think they're valid. My answer states that certain kinds of catastrophic injuries will have a direct effect on any team's record, and in fact always have.
