Life is nuance and it doesn't necessarily come across having discussions like this. I had put the conversationto bed in my mind but then folks like you comment on my being upset that I don't like what our owner/GM have set out as organizational goals. You are upset that this conversation is still going but still feel like you need to engage and keep it alive. I want our goal to be Super Bowl or bust, but it doesn't mean I don't enjoy seasons we don't make it. I do in a big way. I just can't imaging Lombardi, Shula or our beloved Jim being satisfied with making it into a playoff game as a goal. This letter our owners wrote and what Ballard said are exactly the same. They didn't say it was a step on the way to the ultimate goal of a Super Bowl win. I believe they said what they mean.
One final stat to think about. There is a 44% chance that we make the playoffs each year (14/32). If there is a 44% chance you will achieve something each year and you try to achieve it for 5 years (our current non playoff streak) there is a 94.5% chance you will succeed. This isn't a difficult goal for a professional football team (44%). It is 3% per year and 14% over 5 years to win the Super Bowl-difficult and a worthy goal in my opinion.
Goal are aspirations. Aim high
