When everybody expects you to compete for a title in a given year, only disappointment remains when you don't.

I understand the line of thinking - but this is not the case where it counts ie: other teams and coaching staffs. The arrogant ones may overlook but the NFL is on notice of this defense and will be very quickly aware of how well this offense can run. The talking heads and public opinion mean jack shit unless it's creeping in subliminally to coaching staffs around the league but i doubt it.
