I'd say that rivals the Bungles' game for Vegas being full of s**t.

But I dont buy into the narrative they dont want to win. In fact, they are probably too much a fan and its clouded their decision making.
Everyone has to decide the amount of emotional capital they want to put into supporting a pro team. For me that has ebbed and flowed as I age out.
Its easy and fun when you're winning - those Eagle fans looked like they were having fun at SoFi last night - least till the end. I envy that.
The Wilfs are real estate tycoons...they're used to seeing investments take time to pay off. They likely have a better understanding of that basic concept than most.
They also understand when to cut losses and switch staff, sell underperforming properties, and taking long looks at trusted employees.
For any and all 'misses' on draft pics, etc, I'm sure they'll be diplomatic but direct at upgrading/changing the scouting department and/or the decision tree on young prospects.
I'm also certain that they'll never hire from the collective that feels the need to do 5,000 mock drafts every year.

Since the Wilfs have owned the team (2005) we've only won three playoff games. That's right...three in 21 years! The only teams that have won less during that time period are perennial league doormats the Raiders, Dolphins, Browns and Lions. The Jets have had more postseason success than the Vikings since the Wilfs have owned the team! Maybe they should sell the team and stick to real estate tycooning because they've clearly been part of the problem and to think otherwise is simply turning a blind eye.
