CFZ What result would make you consider ‘22 a success?

[IslandCowboy]

NFC Championship or bust, it's been 7 years of this experiment.

 

[LonnieElam]

NFCCG appearance at least..........anything less is same old and there are no guarantees we even make the playoffs next year.

This for me. ^^

 

[Nova]

A close, hard fought, everything left on the field, well coached loss to the 49ers in the NFC Championship.

That's my minimum.

The most palatable playoff loss we've had was @ LA a few years back.

No controversial flags or reviews. No embarrassing blunders to lose the game. We just got beat handily by a better team.

Win the Stanley Cup

I agree. NFCCG appearance. We got to get the divisional round monkey off our back.

 

[cmoney23]

I think, from how good I've seen this team play this year, realistically, I'll be disappointed in anything less than 2 wins in the postseason.

 

[cnuball21]

1 playoff win and a competitive 2nd game.

May sounds conservative but with our roster Id call that a nice season.

 

[Thomas82]

Nothing less than the NFC Championship Game.

 

[The Quest for Six]

NFC championship game, anything less than that is an utter failure

 

[Pantone282C]

NFCCG or more. Question is, do they want it?

 

[rambo2]

2 playoff wins. I bet most will complain if they lose the 3rd playoff game.

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

Anything less than an NFCCG appearance is a failure. Beating a mediocre Bucs team and getting blown out by the Eagles isn't going to make me feel better.

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

Ultimately the Super Bowl. Any loss will be disappointing. I would love to get to the NFC Championship game but once you are there you would still expect to win and if not disappointed.

I would be disappointed but at least I can say we made progress.

Does it have to be Super Bowl or failure?

How many predicted or expected us to win it all? How many gave up entirely after week one?

We haven’t won a road playoff game in 30 years, now we need to win THREE just to get IN to the big game.

We apparently stink on grass, and Tampa Philly and SF all have just that.

Maybe this is just me officially lowering my own expectations, which is probably long overdue, but who may be ok with the following, considering winning it all is probably well above and beyond what could realistically happen….?

Let’s say we beat Tampa. Not far fetched and I expect it actually. We finally beat Brady and end the road playoff streak. In blue nonetheless. Nuts.

There’s some solace in those two things, but a loss the following week means we still can’t get past the Garrett peak level with MM three years in. This was NOT a rebuild. It’s a fail to now in that case, and the window isn’t open forever.

But let’s say we then head to Philly, play to our true capability and knock them off in their house after the season they had. Now there’s some satisfaction.

With that we also broke the non NFC title game appearance streak.

If from there it all comes to a non heartbreak, nor fully embarrassing loss to a 49ers team whose GM wasn’t afraid to make the necessary moves to get them over the top…..

Considering all….I mean, the self inflicted limitations this franchise faces that isn’t going to change…. I may be able to see this as a successful season. In a way it’s loser talk, but you’ve gotta crawl before you can walk. Lots of droughts are broken under this scenario at least.

Would the arrow be pointed upward from there? I’m not sure….but the refusal of the Joneses to make two or three significant upgrades to put this team over the top is bordering on pure crime. That’s certainly a big topic for a few weeks from now. We may never again see a weaker NFC.

Anything less than a Championship is going to carry disappointment, but I suppose I’m already looking for silver linings since I have a reasonably good idea of what’s ahead.

A closely contested NFC championship game involving the cowboys. Beating a bad BUCS team is not good enough.

All off season it was NFCCG appearance or failure.

No reason to change it now. Especially after a 12 win season.

 

[Tabascocat]

Score more than three points this time against TB

In all seriousness, get to the championship game……at least, a close divisional round loss. I don’t expect them to win next Monday though considering the shape they are in atm and that will be a failure.

 

[Wichitaleafs]

2 playoff wins is acceptable to me

 

[Jfconrow]

I think they can beat Tampa, so I want one more win after that. But if they lose to Brady It’s hard to be down about that.

a superbowl win would be ultimate, but minimally and NFCCG appearance and a good showing if nothing else. I just don't have a lot of faith in this team. they are so up and down, never know who shows up

Winning on Thanksgiving and Xmass. They have had a great enjoyable season IMO and made me happy on the holidays.
