This does not mean that the unsaved person never does anything good, or that the believer never does anything bad. It means that the bent of their lives is different.  One lives for the flesh, the other lives for the Spirit.  (Wiersbe, W. W. (1996, c1989). The Bible exposition commentary.  "An exposition of the New Testament")

Rom 8:8 (10) So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
(10) The conclusion. Therefore they that walk after the flesh cannot please God: by which it follows that they are not grafted into Christ. (Geneva Bible Translation Notes)

The man is as the mind is….Which way do our thoughts move with most pleasure?  Which way go our plans and contrivances?  Are we most wise for the world, or for our souls? (Matthew Henry)

Thus satisfaction was made to Divine justice, and the way of salvation opened for the sinner.  By the Spirit the law of love is written upon the heart, and though the righteousness of the law is not fulfilled by us, yet, blessed be God, it is fulfilled in us; there is that in all true believers, which answers the intention of the law. (Matthew Henry)

He does not use an argument here, but expounds the mystery of sanctification, which is imputed to us: because, he says, the power of the law was not such (and that by reason of the corruption of our nature) that it could make man pure and perfect, and because it rather kindled the flame of sin than put it out and extinguish it, therefore God clothed his Son with flesh just like our sinful flesh, in which he utterly abolished our corruption, that being accounted thoroughly pure and without fault in him, apprehended and laid hold of by faith, we might be found to fully have the singular perfection which the law requires, and therefore that there might be no condemnation in us.
