    Obviously the Jets are a team that made some big moves in the offseason after a dissapointing season. Before they got Brett I thought they would go 8-8 or 9-7. With the addition of him I think they will go 10-6 or 11-5 and lose in the second round. Anything past the 2nd round would be a great season in my eyes but for you guys what would be a successful season? A playoff appearance? Afc championship appearance? Or SB? I would sign for an 11-5 season right now. The AFC is really tough so it will be tough but if they get hot like the Giants ANYTHING can happen.

    Playoffs is the goal. Coming off a 4 win season, anything after round 1 is just gravy. Let's be realistic, you don't go from 4-12 to Super Bowl in one offseason...

    Win the Super Bowl.

    As far as I'm concerned, that should be the case for every single team in the league.

    Playoffs and if possible, all I want for xmas is to go to the AFC title game and a better record than the Packers. Early on, looking at this schedule I was predicting a 10-6 or 11-5 and that hasn't changed

    Minimum to declare a successful season = Playoff spot.

    It will always be more than we can get unless we win the super bowl. I remember watching the Packers last season and the general consensus was if we just make the playoffs we've had a successful season (since we didn't make it the year before and there were very few roster changes). But after a few wins you get spoiled and want more. Eventually making it to the NFC Championship game and losing was a disappointment.

    In hindsight it was a great journey and we were lucky to get that far.
