IMO, you can ignore everything else, and the 2008 Pats season, TO ME, boils down to this:
Success= Winning the SB
anything else is an unsuccessful 2008
I'm not trying to say they are a bunch of faliures if they dont win the SB.
I'm saying anything else that happens along the way is fine by me if the end result is winning the SB, and nothing else that happens would overcome not winning the SB.
I really believe the Patriots in 2008 are supposed to win the SB, and anything less would be a disappointment to me.
I realize that is setting the bar (unfairly) high but thats where it is to me.

Andy, I think this post illustrates perfectly how absolutely spoiled we are as Pats fans.
That being said, I think Bill would agree with you that anything other than a SB win is a failure.

Agree 100%. I will be disappointed with anything less than a 2008 SB, and frankly would be disappointed if the team does not win at least 2 more SBs in the BB/Brady era.
This team is too good to be satisfied with anything less. Having a "good" season is not good enough. We already know this team is "good." We need a Super Bowl victory.

Disagree. It all depends on how the season unfolds, who gets injured, etc. My only "absolute" for success in '08 is that this team make the playoffs. Anything can happen after that, as we learned too well in February. I don't buy into the mindset that anything short of a Super Bowl victory makes for a failed season.
gotta agree Tunes....number 1 is make the playoffs...THAT is a measure of success in itself....THEN success in the postseason...how can anybody be disappointed if the Pats don't win the Super Bowl if they don't make the playoffs in the first place?
