So what is the expectation next year, NFCC game?

[BigBoss]

So what should we or even what do you expect the team to be next year? What do you think is reasonable?

 

I have to think absolutely playoffs, I mean we did finish with a losing record, so at least something like 10-6?

 

 

Playoff wise, it is time for the team to take the next step.

[Cyberjag]

19-0

Too soon....

[KillerKat]

Super Bowl

[Zaximus]

Probably playoffs, where we get outcoached and take an early exit.  Sadly.  I hope I'm dead wrong.

Gotta be at least 11-5 in my opinion. Cake schedule playing NFC South and AFC South. Win a playoff game after going 11-5 should be our floor. Ceiling obviously Super Bowl win. I don't think it's that much of a stretch to think that we could be Super Bowl contenders next year. Expectation is always Super Bowl win, but I wouldn't be disappointed in 11-5 and a playoff win.

Let's start with a winning record. Then maybe three peat division champs. Then get out of the divisional round. But expectations change with every free agent move and every injury. But if we see ourselves as a franchise on the rise, we have to actually rise.

3peat

I think the overall regular season record isn't that important, as long as your winning the division and making the playoffs.

the only time the record really matters is if you're shooting for the top seed. In that case, no less than 13 wins.

I just expect improvement in every phase of the game = Playoffs.

How about a winning record first. We got unbelievably lucky this season

[MHS831]

IF Gettlemen has another big offseason (free agents like he did in 2013, rookies like he did in 2014)

 

IF we stay injury free

 

IF Cam becomes more consistent (which should happen due to maturity, off season work, improved weapons protection)

 

IF the 2014 rookies get better

Why not the Super Bowl?  We played Seattle tough in Seattle in a year we didn't have the weapons.  We get all big names back.  Why not?

[UNCrules2187]

Division title and playoffs at a minimum for me. Once you get to the big dance, it's all a crap shoot from there. But we should absolutely be making our 3rd consecutive trip given the state of the rest of the division.

I'd say we got unlucky, with injuries, Hardy, etc.

[Pox 08]

Start simple.

 

 

A third straight division title is a nice,  simple start for a goal.. and then add more to the goal as the season moves forward.
