It may mean that they are likely exactly what they appear to be: a middle-of-the-pack, .500 team. Average, at best.
If your glasses are rose-tinted, you might say, “Hey! It is a win and in the NFL, a win is a win.”
And I would agree. Any way you can get a win is a good way to win in this league.
But if you are thinking the narrow 31–29 loss to the Ravens the week before, which could and should have been an even narrower win, is a moral victory, then you are saying a lot about your team.

Last night during his post game press conference, Panthers quarterback Cameron Newton was frustrated and had no answers for his teams constant struggles.
