You mean the Red Sox who have missed the post season two out of the last three years to the small market Rays?
Or you mean the Detroit Lions who have had one season since 2000 with a winning record? Or how about the Patriots being in the post season 8 out of the last 9. (same as the Yankees)

It's easier in the NFL to get back to the post season because there are more post season slots, and the short schedule makes it easier to post a better record than your actual talent. Making it to the post season in football once every 8 years or so, isn't evidence of balance.

No, its evidence on those teams striking out on draft day and having shitty coaches and GMs. THe lions have had a plethora of busts to reflect this, only recently hitting on Suh, Megatron and Stafford (So Far) whereas before they sucked due to their Joey Harrington, Mike Williams and Charles Rogers debacles.

Again, your argument is weak.
