How can you say anything other than a SB win is not a success then tell me there are levels? I agree there are levels, I don't agree that the only way you can have success is to win the SB. i think for a team like NE only the SB is a success, for us going into last yar only getting to a SB or winning it would be a success- a 3rd title game loss would not have been a success last year. I think it depends on the team and circumstances, after winning a SB going 3 years w/o a playoff win is not a success.
I said anything less than a SB win is not considered a successful season. I don't think NE would consider their 07 season a success, but that doesn't mean that there was not a degree of success during that season. The Jets made the AFCCG in 09, so why do you consider the 10 season a success (another AFCCG loss) but then say anything less than a SB app in 11 was not a success? I would think that you would apply that standard to the 10 season as well. You like to say that the Jets were successful 2 out of the last 3 seasons, but if you go by your own standard you just stated, they were not successful 2 out of 3 seasons.
I agree that there are other levels of success, but no one else cares about them other than the fans of that particular team. You are determining what you consider to be successful based on how a team performed the year before. I know that some teams have higher expectations than others. I'm sure the Giants would not consider those 3 years successful, but that doesn't mean there was not a degree of success during that time.
