What does this win mean?

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.

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.

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.

      Dan Morgan on the Rich Eisen show

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.

      Well, seeing as we play the Lions at home this year, pretty sure that rumor isn't true.

      Totally possible imo, I also caught that snippet from Morgan where he said “If” we sign him. The lack of competition says otherwise tho 🤷‍♂️
