That's more wishful thinking than realistic analysis, though. If the team goes 7-9-1 it's not gonna have anymore of an effect on Snyder selling than if it goes 10-6-1. If anything, I could see him wanting to go out on a high note (relatively speaking)...selling the team after making the playoffs with a pretty decent roster would allow him to say "I left the team in good shape" and take some credit for whatever success may come under the next owner. Selling the team after going 2-15 pretty much solidifies him as the worst owner, a label he's been trying to fight off.
