Proto Man Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 By Pat YasinskasThere are gifts that keep on giving, and then there is Tampa Bay coach Raheem Morris. While the man has grown tremendously as a coach, he has yet to learn the art of subtlety and knowing his place in the world. We can’t make this stuff up, so let’s just throw it out there. “We’re the best team in the NFC,’’ Morris said. “Yeah, I said it. We’re excited.’’ Morris and Tampa Bay fans should be excited. The Bucs clearly are a team on the rise. But “the best team in the NFC?" I don’t know for sure because it’s a strange year, but I feel pretty secure in saying the Bucs aren’t even the best team in the NFC South. The Atlanta Falcons are 5-2 and they’ve had some victories against good teams. The New Orleans Saints are still the Super Bowl champions. Even though the Saints lost to Cleveland on Sunday, memory tells me they thumped the Bucs last week. We won’t go too far with this, but I think the Eagles, Giants, Packers, Bears and Redskins could be better than the Bucs when all is said and done. But I’ll give the Bucs this much. If they were in the NFC West, they’d be the best team in the division – by far. Folks, Morris' type of statement is the very reason the "comments'' section is on this blog. Go ahead, have a field day.What the ****? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schwarzenegger321 Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 I love the comment at the bottom of the blog by Pat Y.Wow, their head coach just gave a lot of motivational ammo to the rest of the NFC south. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
didz Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 I guess if you beat your win total from last year, your bound to get overly excited. They have won some very close games against some weak teams. They have also lost big time against the Steelers and Saints. Best? I don't think so. Their wins have come from, Rams, Browns, Bengals and Panthers. They have yet to shown they can beat a legit team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
since68andcounting Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Well, that's smart....considering the last team that gave us bulletin board material had a receiver take offense and ring up 200+ yards on them. BRILLIANT MOVE, COACH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joenate Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Attitudes like that will infect your team and run rampant. Next thing you know, your team will have lost two or three straight. Like the article said, he needs to learn some subtlety. Team reflects leadership and tahat point of view screams "flash in a pan" success. I am not saying this just b/c he is the coach of a division rival. This is simple truth. Pride comes before the fall. In my opinion, there are several teams better than they are, to include the Falcons and the Saints who flicked them off like it aint funny last week.

schwarzenegger321 Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Hey Roddy, Mattie, Turner, Oline, Abe, Lofton, Moore, Grimes, Peterson....The bucks say they are better than you! Their coach thanks they are better than anyone in the NFC!!!What are you guys going to do about that??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCEagleATLFalcon Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 (edited) One more thing: We could win the Superbowl, and Smitty wouldn't say this!!! Such a difference in mindsets. (And, obviously, I take Smitty any day of the week.) Edited October 25, 2010 by BCEagleATLFalcon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ki46dinah Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Talib cant handle Roddy's jockstrap...and Barber probably couldnt keep up with Finneran at this point in his illustrious career.Bucs are playin solid ball, and our secondary better be ready for Freeman...but I think we will sweep the Bucs again this season.

Jay Z Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 That's a little far fetched Morris! I like It though! I hope the Falcons use that talk just like the Falcons used those T-Shirts Ocho sent as fuel to kick the "SUCKS" A@@ in two weeks....

aPureTerror Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 He can talk and say whatever he wants. At the end of the day his team has to perform on the field, that's really all that matters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Roc Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 So... a week after getting thumped by the Saints and narrowly escaping in the final seconds against an equally weak Rams team, he thinks they're "the best in the NFC?"I know he said it... but he sure as Shirley didn't mean it.

alphaville Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Current NFC Standings...1. Falcons: Point Differential +362. Giants: +163. Seahawks: +134. Bucs: -30Oh yeah, they're definitely making a case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcon Freddie Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Here's an idea for Falco: a cartoon showing the Bucs mascot, Captain Qu . . . , uh, Fear, getting his teeth kicked in by a talon with the caption "Some fines are worth it!""Best team in the NFL", huh? Well, we'll certainly see about that come November 7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
