Heimdallr Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Now that we are a near lock to win the division and make the playoffs, what would you consider a successful post-season? At the beginning of the season I think most of us would have been ecstatic with just a division title, but now things have changed quite a bit.

CriminalMind Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Successful post-season based on where we are today & right now. Starts and Ends with a chip to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heimdallr Posted December 8, 2017 Author Share Posted December 8, 2017 My goal is just to win the conference title. I think we are the best team in the NFC and should be able to get the two playoff wins to get to the Super Bowl, but beating (most likely) New England is a completely different animal. That team has SO much SB experience, and we have zero. A loss in the Super Bowl would be disappointing, but an NFC crown would still be a tremendous season. Losing to another NFC team in the playoffs would be disappointing, especially at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swede700 Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Here's how I evaluate it: Divisional Round loss - Failure NFC Championship Game loss - Meets expectations SB appearance (win or loss) - Success Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 As someone who lived and cried through four Super Bowl losses...it's damn past time this team won it all! I am unsatisfied with anything else being considered a success...especially losing a Super Bowl! It really and truly sucks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, but I would like to at least see them play in a Super Bowl, even if it's to lose a 5th one. I was a toddler the last time they played in one. I'm tired of the NFC Championship Game losses, since I've seen 4 of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vike daddy Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 with as many coaches as we may lose next year, and the potential home field advantage throughout, i think we have to go for it hard right now. strong showing in the Super Bowl is my goal, win or lose.

Freakish Mind Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Anything less then a Superbowl win would be failure. We need this monkey off of our back. Too me, there is no moral victory finishing in 2nd place. (I hate even talking about it because it brings up so much disappointment, It's one of those words we don't bring up around the household) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, Mora had a right, considering the Colts were 2 games under .500 when he went on that tirade. It was a nonsensical question from the reporter. We can talk about playoffs, since it's a 99.9% probability that they'll be participating in them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair. But, I did tell a co-worker at the beginning of the season (he is a Chiefs' fan, but was really positive on the Vikings at the beginning of the season) that there would be nothing more Vikings-like to lose the SB on their home field.

SemperFeist Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 We’re at that point of the season where it either will end in euphoria or headbreak. Nothing in between. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The beginning of the season, I though we had a team to challenge GB in the NFCCG (if both teams collided there)... and success was not having the GB hoisting the Lombardi at US Bank.
