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.

      RODS gotta GO

      By Rocky Davis · Posted

      Florida is the only team that would be doing that to us, and it happens when we are down Chatty, Walker isn't 100% and our top players are being molested in plain view on the ice. Florida is bigger and just as fast as we are, they have the two biggest agitating arseholes in the NHL in Marchand and Tkachuk, have a solid coach and a lot of nice pieces that make that team the best in the East by a good margin this year and possibly back to back Cup champions.  I fail to mention Zito who has been aggressive in getting Marchand and Seth Jones plus other players at the deadline to fill in any weaknesses. We have taken the long term, we have a shot every year approach and keep coming up short.  This is the summer to come away with the last needed pieces and if that takes sacrificing some prospects and picks we have to do it.  We have Freddie who is a very good goalie, but I still think young Kooch needs more time - he shows flashes but he still isn't right between the ears yet. This is definitely it for Orlov, not sure about Burns although he has looked it the last half of the season.  It would be nice to be able to get rid of KK somehow.  Svech has never become the guy I thought he'd be so a pure scorer would be nice.  I still like where this organization is EVEN with RBA coaching.  Do we discredit everything the guy has done in years where we weren't supposed to make the playoffs let alone win some series etc??  We need a bit more size, but I like we added Walker, Carrier, and Robinson who all had some good experience and didn't mind showing some grit.  Who's Back:    Forwards:  Aho, Svech, Jarvy, Blake, Hall, Carrier, Staal, Marty, Stankoven (need to sign to a bridge at least), KK  (really need to trade him this summer or next year for sure, his NMC kicks in 26-27) Defensemen:  Slavin, Walker, Chatty, Ghost, Nikishin, Morrow Goalies:  Freddy, Koochy Potential: Forwards:   Nadeau (he was like a -20 in Chicago so he'll have to really earn Rod's trust), Robidas, FUS didn't have a great season, Bring back Roslovic?, Jost for cheap?? Defensemen:  Technically Nikishin and Morrow, but I have them replacing Orlov and Burns above, Honka, Probably will sign one who plays good D and doesn't break the bank Goalies:  Khazheyev?, Sign one possibly?? tl;dr:  Bottom line is we are definitely going to need to sign a Defenseman or two, and 2-3 Forwards with 2 being scorers and hopefully taller than 6'0".  We have really good depth at forward, we are thinning out at D, and our goalies.....I am just not sure.

      You never really know when a team is going to turn a corner and make a deep playoff run.  I say take a swing, this could be like Tillman in 2015
