Is 18-1 a successful season? - New England Patriots Forums

***Steve Zabel*** · 01-24-2008, 10:39 AM

Given everything this franchise accomplished this season. Given the fact that after 2006, the world was on the "Patriots demise is here bandwagon".
Given the fact that we have the 7th pick in the draft.

My only other questions would include whether or not Vrabel, Bruschi and Seau stay and what do we do with Moss, Stallworth and Samuel.

Your thoughts?

We are aiming for 19-0...keep the 18-1 talk for another season.

Only if the team went 15-1 in the regular season.

Absolutely not. Are you kidding me? Do you think the Russians celebrate their SILVER or BRONZE medal they won in the Olympics after they got upset by an inferior USA squad? Good lord.

You ask a lot of other questions that I don't want to think about until February 4th, but to your Thread Question, "No, 18--1 for this team would not comprise a successful season. A great season, maybe. But not a successful season.

The only way 18--1 is a successful season is if we went 15--1 in the regular season, like the 85 Bears and 86 Forty Niners.

The goal at the begining of every season is to win the Super Bowl. If you don't win the Super Bowl, then your season was not a success. Simple as that.

An 18-1 season would be a successful season but would be a bitter

disappointment to me. The Pats have a chance to make NFL history

by going 19-0. This would be a record that would stand for many years

if not forever. The Patriots may never be in a position to go 19-0 again

and I'm sure the players realize this.
