I'm still convinced this team IS trying to fail and the entire league has set it up so that certain teams will succeed no matter how poorly they play and certain teams will fail no matter how much talent they have or if they have the best coaching staffs. It circles around gambling and payoffs.. We'll get the occasional win and get the occasional big play, but the bottom line is that the league makes the lions share of its money from just a handful of teams.
I don't think we'll ever see a season when the only teams in the playoffs are teams with smaller fan bases and who have been in the loss column for more than 10 years. They're in the loss columns for 1 reason and it has little to nothing to do with the level of talent and coaching and everything to do with revenue. It's a privately owned and operated entertainment business so the only thing we as fans can do to change it is to simply quit buying the product they have to sell. As long as we keep buying their bullshit they'll keep feeding bulls laxatives.
