Not so much for casual fans. Some people just don't give a shit, and why should they? Teams need casual fans to buy tickets and merchandise. Not just diehards and over-invested nutbags like us. They've lost that big time after Marvin returned.
The hardcore fanbase largely re-invested before the season, but there aren't that many of us, and it's likely not enough to keep a stadium filled.
Rebuilding makes me sad. We had a Top 5 roster several years ago...and we just missed opportunities. We should have signed that coverage LB or upgraded at Center.
Instead of touting playoff runs, we get to say...yeah we made the playoffs!
