What is considered back to back winning seasons? (Atlanta Falcons?)?

[JUMP OFF THE BANDWAGON]

What exactly does it mean to have back to back winning seasons? The falcons record last year was 11-5 loosing in the wild card race. This year the falcons are 8-7. They play there last game sunday against carolina.

So what does it mean to have back to back winning seasons? Do you have to win a certain number of games? Do you have to be the division champ?

Can someone please explain this to me?
no no lol. This could be for any team. In general, what kind of record or stats or championship do you need to have to be considered back to back winning seasons. I don't get what that means? This is not a question directly toward the Falcons
DYLAN E! Thank you! I completely understand it now. You will be getting the best answer, because you were the first to answer.

it means they had more wins than losses there last 2 seasons

[George T]

Consecutive seasons ending in a team having more wins than losses in EACH season is what makes back to back, etc. etc.

[Steve915]

It refers to the regular season record of a team. You must win MORE games than you lose.

9-7 is a winning season.

8-7-1 is a winning season.

8-8 is NOT a winning season.

Or, put another way, it's something that is impossible for the Detroit Lions to do for even ONE year!

I agree with u. They were 11-5 last year and they're falling apart this season.

[Kaine™ (TBG)]

Yeah, you have to have a winning record. I mean actually finish with a winning record. If they actually beat Carolina then they will have won back to back winning seasons.

In the literal translation of the phrase, it means to have two consecutive seasons in which your regular season record is 9-7 or better.
But in the sense that the Falcons should have done much better this year, it's difficult when your two best offensive players are injured for several weeks.

Lucky for you guys, you end your season with TAMPA BAY, not CAROLINA. So, you should end with a winning season.

[GO BIG 10 (3-2)]

A winning season is a season with a winning record. If the Falcons win on Sunday, they will do something they have never accomplished.

[Dylan E]

If they win their last game. That means:

They will have two seasons in a row (back to back) where they finish with more wins then losses. Back to back winning (record wise) seasons. 11 wins - 5 losses last year. If they win on sunday they will have 9 wins and 7 losses this year.

Hope this helps.
