What makes this a successful season?

[Tony Oday]

I have been thinking about this since Jordy went down. The only thing I can think of is NFCC Game and a top 15 defense.

[Teamcheez1]

Superbowl or bust. Anything else is just stats for the history books.

We had our SB shot last season. The stars don't align like that all too often. Success this year is winning the division and a good performance by Rodgers in the playoffs.

Agreed. It's a cliche, but in this case it's true: the Packers were one play away from being in the Super Bowl. And they had multiple chances at making that one play. Everyone's focus is on the onside kick, but there were a few plays that if they'd swung the other way so does the game. It was like the ghost of Golden Tate was in the building.

Losing Nelson in no way, shape of form diminishes my expectations for the season.

As for last year, teams also build toward championships. Sure, they COULD HAVE (maybe SHOULD HAVE) gotten there, but only in retrospect. Going into the NFCCG no one thought 2014 was their year. Sometimes teams have to learn how hard it is to get there, and GB should have learned that last year.

I get to watch the games, have some beers, and hang out with friends and family doing so.

I figured coming into this season the Packers would have to improve to stay the same because they weren't going to match the healthiness of last season. If things go reasonably well I think they can be more consistent on offense and turn the defense into a legitimate strength.

Super Bowl

That is all.

$$$$$

no lost or damaged cell phones

[Tony Oday]

hahaha no lost or damaged cell phones thats awesome.

[Joemailman]

When you come as close to the Super bowl as they did last year, there is only 1 logical goal. Nobody in the Pro Bowl.

Beating the shit out of the Seahawks and the Bears (twice) would be good too.

[red]

super bowl or bust, anything else is another wasted season

and listening to all the national guys on the radio all week, it sure sounds like we are the favorites by most to win it all

even without jordy

no super bowl trophy = failed season imo

[King Friday]

Dumb question.

Green Bay is called Titletown for a reason. With the best QB in the game under center, there is no reason to ever diminish expectations.

Diminished expectations are what Bears fans cling to. Don't be like them.

A lot has to go right for the Super Bowl to happen. Its easy to get deflated. Or have your SigInt get intercepted and a convoy destroyed en route to a blitz. Uninterruptible communication is key. Friendly home turf and good maps of enemy terrain, preferably prepared by the enemy itself helps. Plans for enemy's first fifteen movements are gold.

But sometimes fate turns on the bounce of a ball off your facemask.

I like a season where they steamroll good opponents. Winning versus the Patriots and trucking the Seachickens for 56 minutes were highpoints. Going deep into the playoffs is also necessary. I would not say I was happy about last season, but I don't see how you call it anything other than a successful one.

Still, I am glad M3 only talks about the Championship. Seems the only way to prepare. Be bold.

[Freak Out]

I'll be happy if we aren't talking about firing someone after the Bears game.

[Brandon494]

Super Bowl or bust because we should have fucking won it last season.

[Upnorth]

1) Winning Record
1.5) no career ending injuries
2) Win for division
3) Sweep the division
4) win the nfccg
5) bring Lombardi home

That is the order of level of success for this season. Having only one qualified success leads to too much heartache and ulcers. If you choose to believe that a sb is the only success, you are setting the table to feast on disappointment. I think we have a fairly high chan of a sb victory, but see many other success' along the way.

Awesome.

The whole preseason approach was about winning three games in January

Except John Fox

A sweep of the Bears, all else is just gravy.

I read 3) as Sweep the Leg. I might approve versus NFC West.

[gbgary]

if the Packers meet THEIR goals...then it's a successful season.
