Sometimes, you need a wake-up call. I'd rather lose to BUF or BAL now, in the regular season, and then start peaking in Nov/Dec to go on a run...

I'm fervently hoping for wake up calls and turnarounds as well. And I've long been a proponent of how healthy and dialed-in you are in January being a woefully underappreciated metric, often more important than record or base roster. But they won't do it until they do it. And what they're doing in the meantime is nearly record-setting for failure.
Put it this way, I don't know the future, . . . but I know history, . . . and Marino in Miami and Stafford in Detroit played decades of football just like this. It's something to be vigilant against. Or Manning in Indy if you prefer, who also had a 1-1 SB career there, that depended on the vitality of the defense. Wasting tons of record-breaking seasons with all-around mediocre teams.
