NFL Week 7 Musings

-Sorry Raheem Morris. Don't be offended if I don't want to root for your reclamation project in Tampa. Your declaration that your Tampa Bay Buccaneers are "the best team in the NFC" after your 18-17 win over the St. Louis Rams sunday, does not endear me to your cause. No doubt your team has talent. LB Quincy Black and CB Aqib Talib are standouts on defense and WR Mike Williams has been a pleasant play-making surprise this season. QB Josh Freeman has the ability to manage a game and not throw back breaking interceptions.

However, if there's something that can keep this team from a playoff berth or even a winning record this season is the lack of a pass rush so far. The team has registered only five sacks through six games this season, and the team lacks a go to edge rusher. Perhaps the development of DT Gerald McCoy may bring a consistent pass rush in the coming years. But for now, Buc's fans should still file this season under 'rebuilding' status despite the 4-2 start.

-There is a definite lack of talent on the Denver Bronco's defense. The losses of OLB's Elvis Dumervil and Robert Ayers has revealed the lack of depth on the unit, and the defense has become sieve-like.

-Packers Coach Mike McCarthy needs to sit down QB Aaron Rodgers and drill into his head 'stop throwing interceptions'. He's still too early in his career to become what Brett Favre became later in his.
