Yeah, thats the conundrum were facing right now. To quote Lovie Smith, "Theres perception, and then theres reality". But we dont know for sure which side is which. On one hand you have a team that was coming off a legitmate 10-6 season in 2005, and may very well be that good of a team for us again in 2007. On the other hand, you have a team that played very poorly for most of this season. Maybe they are way worse (older, less talented, lacking identity) than the 2005 team. The key is to find out whether or not the defense had an abberation this year (such as the 2005 Ravens did). If they did, maybe it can return to form this year. If not and there are really deep issues, time to start the rebuilding process before its too late.
