I think we are better than them too, but not by so great a margin that it would surprise me if we lost to any of them. I would be pissed that we wasted a good chance for a win, but not surprised.

By the end of the season we might be widely considered better than a lot of the teams in front of us. The point about the number of injuries is valid, and if we would have had our full compliment last season might have been very different. That really doesn't mean anything until we prove it on the field. We are at a tipping point. A couple breaks in either direction could be the difference between the playoffs or more disappointment.
