I feel an apology is necessary.
I was pretty rough on the Rah last week. For those of you who don’t know, Raheem Morris is the second-year head coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Last season, his team went 3-13. This season, they’re 5-2. Surprising isn’t a strong enough word.
Between work and the NFL’s blackout policy, I haven’t had the opportunity to watch much Bucs football this season. The first game I watched in its entirety, in fact, was last week against the Rams, a game which they won, but sloppily.
After that win, in his post-game press conference, a confident Morris told reporters his was the best team in the NFC. Most who heard those comments, including myself, found them laughable. I wrote a somewhat critical blurb calling anyone who thought Tampa was that good either delirious or extremely uninformed. As it turns out, I’m the one who’s uninformed. For that, I must apologize.
