How can you easily dismiss our team as "average at best" and claim that all the other teams in the conference are automatically better? Right now if I were to give you a pessimistic outcome I would tell you that NYG has the best chance of taking the conference (if they had a true #1 receiver to replace Burress I would consider them a SB contender); Philly can get to the playoffs as long as Westbrook is healthy (and McNabb's too, even though he hasn't been injured he'll be 33 this season) and their young wideouts help their offense; finally I would put us and Dallas as the question marks who could make it to the playoffs, depending on certain outcomes (WAS: AH makes the defense elite, our healthy/somewhat younger line holds up, Campbell plays well all season; DAL: Roy Williams lives up to the hype/price, Wade Phillips doesn't lose control of the team, Romo doesn't choke).

Needless to say, there is a lot of offseason to go and right now it is too early to make any type of predictions. At least wait until training camp to dismiss our teams chances.

What would you consider a drastic improvement? I mean getting Haynesworth, Orakpo, and Dockery are pretty drastic improvements. Along with the fact that the entire team will be going into a second year under the same coaching regime for the first time in a long time.
