As I said, it's all about perception, and nothing to do with reality.

Exactly. Why would people who don't follow our team as closely as we do think we will be any better than another 7-9 season without signing marquee players? The nation in general doesn't have a clue how improved we are.

I hesitate to predict any win/loss ratio until after training camp but I feel like we will come out of nowhere like we did during our Super bowl run.
