BITE ME 792 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Our December consists of a home game against the likely 12-0 Steelers and 3 road games against 3 teams that currently have losing records. All 3 road games are tougher than they look on paper. We close out with a Dolphins team that will likely be playing for a wild card or even the division. What is your definition of a successful season? For me it is a division win and a playoff win. Anything less is a Failure. Anything more is a welcome surprise. 9 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Win the division and a playoff game. Going one and done again isn't acceptable. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chandler#81 13,413 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 32 teams start off every single season with ONE measure of a ‘successful season’. Win the last game played. Nothing has changed. 4 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Win the last game played. Nothing has changed. Not true. The Bills are young and a step forward would set them up perfectly for 2021 season. A playoff win and a division title are something that has not been seen here in a long time. I would take it. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rochesterian Bills Fan 272 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 I think that winning the AFCE and winning at least one Playoff game is the expectation. However if magic happened and the Bills went on a tear to win it all I unironically believe we'd have at least one thread complaining about a "messy" Superbowl win. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dma0034 436 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Division and a competitive loss to Steelers or Chiefs in the playoffs. I look at this year as the "we can hang with the big boys" and next year as "we are one of the big boys" Quote Link to post Share on other sites

One Playoff Win in 3 out of 4 seasons is all you need for a successful season? Yeeesh!🤦♂️ You can take the garbage out too, while you’re at it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
A Firm Tree Does Not Fear 4,405 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 winning record. division title. playoff win. all three are likely, two are near certain at this point. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LABILLBACKER 3,968 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 All you can ask for is incremental improvement. This season I would hope for 11-5, AFCE winners and 1 playoff win. In a season of challenges and a tougher schedule this would be amazing. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
