Minimum Amount of Wins to Consider 2024 a Successful Season

[Harry]

I think 10 wins with the Rams falling apart

At this point, Ima need 10.

Come on now that’s only because they’ve already exceeded your expectations. You can’t move the goalpost.

Pre season I would have said 7-8, but most important for me was that we saw the development of this young roster.

We are seeing the development of the young players. A bit ahead of time and with a higher draft hit rate than we realistically could have expected. We are 6-4 at the bye with the hard part of the schedule played.

I expect a 10-7 season, which would be a great success. If the team is competitive but loses more game and end 9-8 or 8-9 it would still be a success based on my expectation at the beginning of the season.

I think framing is important.

If we finish the season 8-9 it's going to be a mixed bag. I'll consider my preseason view and think that overall we made good progress, but that would be tinged with concern at having a losing record after the bye in the weaker part of our schedule, and yet again finishing the season poorly. Because we would have to go 2-5 from here to finish 8-9 and that would be poor. The team would feel the same way.

From where we are right now, we should be expecting 10-7 as a satisfactory season.

That's exactly why I said 10 Shane! I think I predicted 7?

Exactly so reality if we win one more game, you technically shouldn’t be disappointed

Technically....

I'm updating my answer to 16 wins. We're winning out baby!

 

[JosiahLee]

10 wins now feels like the floor with 12 wins perhaps being the ceiling. With that said, I now need at least 11 wins from this team.

NEED???

I'm still at eight. Eight from where we were is still a successful season IMO, which is only two wins away!

Anything above that number, with increased production from our rookies/young players and Kyler being more consistent, would make me much more confident in long-term sustained success.

But hey, if we make the playoffs, the future could be now.

I picked 8 (double the wins from 2023).

Yes, that would be considered success.

However, ending the year like we did in 2021 and 2022 would be very disappointing and diminish hope that we will be the 2025 Lions.

I don't expect us to be at 8 wins...feels like 10.
