Exactly. The few preseason rankings I've seen do indeed have NY, Philly and Dallas ranked above us, but we're still in the top half of the teams in those polls. The bottom line is that those experts (we'll call them that for now) all have respect for this team, even if they're not sure that we quite measure up to the rest of the teams in the division.
