Is 9-8 a good season?

So given what expectations were going in, yeah, I'd call that a good season.

9-8 is a good season. It shows this staff can win with far less than ideal circumstances. I'll take that no problem.

I don't know that records gets us into the post season. That depends on Washington. Dallas and Seattle own tie breakers on us and I think SF pushes Seattle into the wildcard hunt.

Need an ATL win and then a win next week against Washington or else things get real fucking dicey.

good season. I had them 6-11.

A winning record is a great season.

No, the team predicted to have the top pick in the 2023 draft wins 9. Awful.

Have crippled the team. They are changing the field next season, my guess is that this fucking medical staff will finally get changed, at minimum many of the old faces will be gone. You think Schoen and Daboll are going to accept incompetence and losing? You see how fucking mad Daboll is? Trust me they are going to make big changes this off season. Their hands were tied, and they have done the best they can with what they have, or what is left of what they have. This team with what they had going into this game pkayed remarkable. This with Jones having the worst game he has played in a long while. I love Jones, he has become the easiest player to pull for. His desire and competitiveness is off the charts great, and they are great attributes for a QB. But he has limitations to his game, in the passing department. I trust what Daboll and Schoen decide to do. But I do not believe for a second that we know and I do not think anything is certain or anything is off the table.

Year 1 Goal: show you can stop sucking, draft well, use what you have, and impart a winning approach while you clean up the mess from your predecessor
Year 2 Goal: show that year 1 wasn’t a fluke and that you can sustain and build

Year 1 goal is accomplished-though man did the draft class get decimated by injuries. Right now, we’re playing with house money…so enjoy

I would be very proud of this season with that result. This has ways been a rebuilding year and the year to make a decision on Jones and Barkley.

Going 9-8, making playoffs or not, with all these injuries is simply amazing.

There is going to be a meltdown next year when we only win 6-9 wins again.
This roster is in flux and doesn't have talent right now.
Hopefully we have another good draft and stay healthy

after starting 7-3 is incredibly disappointing. But 9-8 still overachieving.

10-7 is great.

Getting to 8-4 is now very important if they want 9-8+.

Get healthy this next week+.

Is 8-9 a good season?

7-10 a good season

Statistically better than last year. I just hoped for more. Oh well

It’s way too early to be speculating about next year’s record. And the roster will look different - especially at the WR position

Absolutely, yes!

A resounding YES!

This is a 6 win roster. Winning 9 is brilliant. 9-8 might be a good season next year too.

before the season started. Now, some people will be disappointed knowing we started out 7-2, but yeah winning 9 games would be great.

While on the surface it woukd appear to be an easy yes. But the way this team looks talent wise, I’m not so sure. There appears to be a lot more questions than there are answers as it relates to foundational pieces. For as pleasant as the first half of the year has been, the second half could be the total opposite.

So we could go into next season needing answers at QB, RB, WR, more than half the Oline, pass rushers, LBs, CBs. This coukd be on the heels of going from 7-2 to only winning 2 games after that start.

Before this year started. Before 6 ACLs and about the same number of MCLs. Given where they've come from and the horrid post-Coughlin/Reese years.

No one had them over .500.

When you start 7-2, 9-8 is a little disappointing.

Eh, I predict this team to win 4-6 games, so its still overachieving. It's okay.

9 wins. Gotta win 2 here down the stretch. Beat wash and one more.

If we split and assuming Washington wins Sunday they’d have to beat one of San Fran, Dallas or Cleveland to get to 9 and a tie breaker to come into play. The team to worry about the most at 9-8 is Atlanta if they beat Washington on Sunday. They play Steelers, Ravens, Saints, Cardinals and Bucs.

This roster isn’t THAT MUCH different than the doormats we’ve rolled out for the past decade. 9-8 is a vast improvement and extreme overachieving result
