WRAPradio Posted August 26, 2021 Report Share Posted August 26, 2021 For me, it's this: Go at LEAST 7-10 with wins vs. Browns (x1), Stealers (x1), Ravens (x1), Jags, Lions, Jets and Chargers Defense finishes in the top 15 in total yards, top 12 in points allowed Burrow has at least 29 TDs and less than 13 INTs Mixon has over 1400 total yards and 7+ TDs Chase, Higgins and Boyd combine for 3400 yards and 24 TDs No major injuries that linger into next year Offensive line is between 14-19 in pass block win rate and run block win rate Make at least 3 FGs over 50 yards and convert 85+% of all FGA Defensive line has at least 14 total sacks and defense has at least 20 total sacks Force more turnovers than we commit Get more sacks than we give up What's a successful season in your eyes?

I'd like to see them at least compete for a playoff spot to know that improvement is real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UncleEarl Posted August 26, 2021 Report Share Posted August 26, 2021 Less than 7 wins would be disappointing. Teams make big jumps in wins every year in the NFL. I would be satisfied with 8-8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And trading Trenton Irwin to Jacksonville for their first round pick in next year's draft to compensate for the Marvinish draft pick that would come with 8-8.

claptonrocks Posted August 26, 2021 Report Share Posted August 26, 2021 The AFCN is the toughest division imo.. Id say 6-11 .... My gut says theyll go 1-5 in it with a split with Pitts.. Split with either or both with Ravens and Browns would get them to 7 or 8 wins.. Im hoping they achieve those hurdles and goals... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BengalBuck Posted August 26, 2021 Report Share Posted August 26, 2021 I like the competing for a playoff spot makes it a successful season take. And no more excuses for Zac. He's jettisoned all the unwanted pieces and all his parts are in place. He's got a worse record than Dave Shula for goodness sake, time to compete.

sparky151 Posted August 26, 2021 Report Share Posted August 26, 2021 A winning record should be the minimum for the season to be considered successful. Developing talent for the future is nice and all but a football team's job is to win games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spicoli Posted August 26, 2021 Report Share Posted August 26, 2021 At least 9-8 is what I’m looking for. There’s no reason whatsoever a healthy Burrow can’t get this team above .500 this year. Even if they missed the playoffs I’d consider that a successful season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|SF2| Posted August 26, 2021 Report Share Posted August 26, 2021 Almost 44% of NFL teams go to playoffs every year. This is Taylor’s 3rd year. He is 6-25-1. Anything short of the playoffs is FAILING. That would make 6 straight years without being in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This team will surprise a lot of people this season. The question is which group of people are surprised, the ones that think they’ll make the playoffs, or the ones that think they’ll win no more than five games. 😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Posted August 27, 2021 Report Share Posted August 27, 2021 A successful season is hoisting a Lombardi. Anything less is not successful. But I’ll be content with 9 wins and giving me hope that a Lombardi is in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OU_Stripes Posted August 27, 2021 Report Share Posted August 27, 2021 Playoffs or playoffs-caliber record. If they go 10-7 and miss the playoffs then fine. This team has spent too much in free agency, invested too heavily on both sides, and has too good a quarterback to be satisfied with some mediocre bullshit.
