It’s almost like an old fashion defense lawyer who loses every case yet claims victory because his/her clients never receive the maximum sentence/penalty under the law.  Yet he/she refuses to change the way they prepare for their cases.

That's a great way to put it.

Other teams change things up when they lose...GM, Coaches, etc...every 2-3 years in extreme cases.

We've had the same GM for 27+ years. Our de facto GM NEVER won a single playoff game.

And the offseason optimism is due to changing coaches...after 15 years and 0-7 in the playoffs. What other team would keep a coach that was 0-7 in the playoffs for them?

Playoff meltdown against the Steelers...Marvin, Burfict, and Pacman all brought back. Other teams wouldn't bring back all 3.
