BITE ME 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rochesterian Bills Fan 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Playoff Win in 3 out of 4 seasons is all you need for a successful season?

LABILLBACKER 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with the division and a playoff win, being the next logical step. Consider though, many things could go wrong that are not controllable by the team, that could derail the above, ie Covid, an injury to our QB etc, so the failure word could likely be over the top/jumping the shark as it were.

Victory Formation Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 18 minutes ago, VirginiaMike said: Win the AFC East and be one of the two teams in the AFC Championship game. Goal should always be to win the AFC East.. Every year that needs to be the goal.. Do that consistently and eventually I think we get a ring.. This Bills team right now is better than some teams that have won the Super Bowl in the past.. I’m not cool with saying we should walk away with just a playoff win.. Anything can happen in the playoffs, anything.. Are we not better than the Eagles or Giants Super Bowl teams??? All it takes is Josh Allen getting red hot at the right time and this defense playing up to their potential.. Any time the Bills make the playoffs, the goal is a Lombardi.. every time! But obviously in order for this to happen we need to own the Dolphins and the Patriots consistently.. We have the best QB in the division.. shouldn’t be a problem!
