If we lose on Sunday, will you consider this season to be a success?

Hell no. Take injuries out of the equation, we’re a worse team than we were last year. Shula shula’d, ron ron’d, we lost the best GM we’ve ever had (though I was lukewarm on him), we gained the worst GM we’ve ever had, it just wasn’t a fun year. The future is murky as f right now. The ownership change could very well end up being a very good thing, I expect it to be, but until the dust settles it’s stressful to think about. And until Hurney and Shula are gone, it’s not a successful season. We win the Super Bowl and obviously it is, but unlike other seasons I’ve considered “successful” when we didn’t win the Super Bowl I don’t feel optimistic about next year based on double digit wins and playoffs. 

gettleman is the best gm in nfl history

Just barely.

Whiny little bitches gonna whine.

Nope

[hepcat]

Yes and no. A lot of young guys showed promise this season. Bradberry, Worley, and even Vernon Butler coming into their own and showing they might be long-term contributors on the defense. McCaffrey is already a key offensive player, Curtis Samuel and Damiere Byrd look like nice players for next season, and Daryl Williams shored up the RT spot. 

But why I would say no, is that I worry there are too many key vets (Peppers, Davis, Kalil, Stewart, Olsen, Mike Adams) nearing the end of their careers, and if they don't make a run this season, there's too much uncertainty going forward with new ownership and the GM situation to bank on this kind of success next season and beyond.

No way. This team isn't rebuilding.

I would have much rather sucked this year, got another high draft pick and fired Shula and possibly Rivera. I am okay with keeping Ron and seeing how we do with a new OC. If we do the same non aggressive poo on offense with a new coordinator though, Ron can gtfo. 

Sorry but 3 losses to the Saints in one season is a failure anyway you look at it.

The Falcons game sums this season up for me. No one gives a poo. Playing practice squad pos WRs instead of trying to bring in a Vet who actually knows some fuging routes. The ATL game would have been a good run through for a new WR before playoffs started. Playing Amini and watching him get destroyed while Moton sits on the sideline. Does he just suck? Amini isn’t the future.

I am just ready to hopefully have an owner who gives a poo about this team and not the NFL

Not really.

But I also would say it’s possible we over achieved given our severe lack of weapons at the WR position.

Agreed. I would not call it a success and I think we can beat the majority of the teams in the playoffs, for that matter. We did likely overachieve, however. Especially given our obvious roster holes. I would even say this is easily a candidate for the weakest playoff team we have ever fielded.

Ourselves week 7.

Honestly it depends on how we lose. If the offense comes out guns blazing, surpassing its limitations and taking it to the final minutes then I will say they met expectations.

But really we should at least be in the divisional or NFC championship game.

Losing Samuel and Byrd is devastating. I really they are the pieces that are missing. We could run the table with those guys in the line up.

[Happy Panther]

My definition of success has always been a home playoff game. It's why I bought PSLs among other reasons. But if we make a run to the NFC championship i will love that too. Making the playoffs is the only thing NFL teams are shooting for because once you are in anything can happen.

This season is not a failure. But it may not be a success.

[GoobyPls]

If Cam and the offense go ham Sunday and we lose in a epic shootout, I won’t be as disappointed 

 

But if we get curbed stomped again, this season was a waste  

[Hoenheim]

No , not with a wild card exit.  

[PantherGuy]

No. We made the playoffs but IMO we were not really a good team this year. Overall season just doesn't pass my eye test.
