The Bucs started this year 0-7 and were the only winless team in the NFL. Tampa Bay had played so poorly, many were starting to wonder if the Bucs could finish this season 0-16 before they defeated Green Bay a few weeks ago.
New Orleans is on the more positive end of that spectrum.
The Saints are 9-0 and one of two undefeated NFL teams (Indianapolis is also 9-0). Many football observers are starting to wonder if New Orleans can finish this season 16-0. As New Orleans prepares to face Tampa Bay (1-8) on Sunday, the Bucs are hoping to spoil their rival’s perfect season.
“There’s no secret — I’m sure [Sean] Payton [New Orleans coach] is telling those guys, ’Hey, this team has beaten us three out of the last four times we’ve met,’ ” Bucs coach Raheem Morris said. “I’m sure he’s telling them that. I’m sure he’s getting those guys motivated in the same way. It’s a division game — that’s one. It’s guys that don’t like us and we don’t like them. There’s no secret there.”
There is also no secret why New Orleans is undefeated.
New Orleans has the NFL’s top ranked offense, averaging 37 points a game. S Darren Sharper has made an immediate impact on defense, recording seven interceptions this season . But I can remember a few years ago with the Vikings came in here 8-0, alas they left 8-1. Stranger things have happened. But no, I wouldn't put the farm on it. Antino Bryant is due to start. Looking forward to see how Antino and Josh Freeman can and if they can hook up. Keep in mind Josh is only 21. Have fun out there.
