Every fan should see it's team making progress in those 18 years, rather than watch that team stand virtually still.
Any fan that is remotely satisfied with that 18 years of futility, and remotely satisfied with the most recent example of that futility, is, at the very least, easily satisfied.
And if you think that any thoughts we have on the subject has any impact on the performance on the field, you are delusional.

Do you realize it's statistically impossible to expect any AFC team to win a Super Bowl every 18 years, regardless of organizational leadership?
3 playoff wins in 18 years or one in 13 years, is subjective and not relative to my point.
Reaching the playoffs every 10 years? Sounds good, is that my base line of comparison to being a fan?
In the last 18 years I have seen "my team" make progressions, fultile or not, and this year is no different.
I'm not easily satisfied, I'm just not as easily dissatisfied as some. This year likely ends with another playoff loss. But my role as a fan was first to enjoy the ride. I can check that box. I didn't expect a playoff berth at all this year.
