"We're the best team in the NFC," exuberant coach Raheem Morris declared, just a week after the Bucs lost 31-6 at home to defending Super Bowl champion New Orleans. "Yeah, I said it. We're the best team in the NFC."





I hope he's kidding. Apparently he forgot we have been slaughtered by the only two teams we've faced with winning records.

Why do people take things so seriously?

You don't find that quote a bit...ridiculous?

They need something to whine about.

Well, there's not a team in the NFC with fewer losses.....so I guess he kind of has a point....for at least another week.

He was just pumped up after a big win.

Take it with a grain of salt.

We all know we're not even close to the best team in the NFC (The Giants)

Good to see he has confidence in this young team.

Arizona Next week

Not sure - why does he keep saying stuff that is so... out there?

When you can't even keep it close against team's with a winning record you have no business claiming to have the best team in the NFC. That's not whining, that's a fact.

I'm disappointed in Raheem. If you are going to gloat, go all out. He should have said, "We're the best team in the NFL and we're going to easily defeat a bunch of fairies next week in Arizona".

I do believe we're going to win next week, Arizona's defense has looked pretty poor and their QB isn't exactly heading to Hawaii later this year.

Based on record, we are second-best

he must have not seen that the Falcons won today. they're 5-2 we're 4-2.

Sure, if you want to look at nothing more than the record, and completely ignore our run defense, running game, and competition. I'm still trying to figure out, however, how we beat Cleveland...got absolutely annihilated by NO...and then NO loses to Cleveland. Quite strange.

Yeah, but a pirate could kill a falcon easily, therefore we are better.
