What does this win mean?

[Hairless Cat]

Im thankful for the win. But to put it in perspective it was at home against a team which is arguably one of the worst in the NFL this year. And we beat them by only 3 points. Delhomme continues to be sporadic with poorly timed and inaccurate throwss as often as decent ones - every time he throws one up I hold my breath. Our running game has been poor to mediocre at best this year, and is supposed to be our strength- if we dont have it what do we have? De Angelos hands of gold are turning into rocks. Stewart- well who knows when hes going to go down with something for the rest of the season. I expect him to miss one or two days of practice again this week. Peppers had a decent game yesterday, but I dont see his enthusiasm lasting given his history of malaise here. And do you think a pep talk from Beason will do any good a 2nd time? Our special teams had some breaks yesterday -but the fumbleitis on punt and kickoff returns is a disaster waiting to cause our self destruction against better teams.

All in all Im not getting my hopes set too high for much more than 4 wins this year.

It means we no longer are the Lions 0f 2009 nothing more. We will probably win the next 2 to make everyone (Media and Fans) start drinking there coolade then when they start up against the tough schedule they will start getting those L's like crazy. I have no faith in this FO anymore.

I saw most of the same problems we have seen all season. TO's resulting in points (albeit I wasn't expecting it from Dwill) and a D that was better (against a lousy team) but thats like being the dwarf amongst midgets. The biggest improvement to me was on Special Teams. Had that drop by Stewart but otherwise good coverage and a nice return. I still want Crossman fired yesterday but at least he didn't lose this one for us.

I am only hopeful for one win at a time. Other than that I am not thinking about a month from now. If Jake can just pass the ball a little more consistent the running game will come back.

It means one mediocre team beat another mediocre team.

[ThPantherFan]

It means a guarantee of 1 win, and 15 losses.

[jramsey4]

It means one mediocre team beat another mediocre team.

I think your giving the Skins and Panthers to much credit. We just plan suck.

[Dpantherman]

in the words of the great Bill Parcells: "Consider yourself sucked!" take the damn win, , we won. thats 1-3. not maybe and 3.

[Mother Grabber]

We are exactly the Lions of 2009. We both barely beat the Skins.

[RockyTopVol]

it means the 49ers just got a slightly worse first round draft pick.

[Kyle82]

It may not mean anything three months from now but today it feels wonderful....just enjoy the moment.

[grateflday]

it is just a win and prevented a complete meltdown and implosion. Of course it was better than a loss. It is going to be interesting to see how this season turns out, but I dont know how this team and current coaching staff will beat the Saints, Falcons, Giants, Patriots, Min (Peterson will run for 200+ yards), etc. There is no way this team makes the playoffs and will still be lucky to finish 7-9 or 8-8.

[carolinarolls]

1-3

[Newtcase]

It means we have a bit more confidence going into the Buffalo game. A win there gives us a little more confidence for the Tampa game. If we can get those two and head to Arizona on 3 game winning streak and feeling good about the rebound, well.... That will become a very pivotal game IMO. In that scenario I can really imagine the Panthers wanting to make a statement against the very team that started this slide in January.

I know this is looking foward quite a ways, but it's a quite realistic expectation. If that played out and we managed to win in Arizona to take the streak to 4 games it could be game on.

[Snake]

That we will not tie the Lions.
