Current Team Legacy

How much value do you put on a single playoff game in comparison to a season of work.  Someone might say that the normal season is just an audition to play a game that matters and that if you lose the first game of the playoffs you basically accomplished nothing.

Well the Super Bowl is the ultimate goal of every team, or so they all say.  If that's the case then losing the first playoff game is no different than losing the second or even the conference championship.  But to say in doing so you "basically accomplish nothing" seems a little over the top to me.

To that end, every team measures success differently; there's no doubt the Patriots measure success differently than that of the Browns, Raiders, Jag's, etc.

If you equate the NFL to the real world, Tom Brady and Bill Belicheat wouldn't get a raise by making the playoffs, whereas the typical bottom feeders would get a nice merit increase by doing the same.  Success is variable and dependent upon the individual / team - regardless of what they say their goals are at the beginning of the year.  IMO
