According to ProFootballTalk.com, Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Aquib Talib is playing great.

However, as good as Talib is he is worthless if he continues with his off field problems.

Since Talib has come into the National Football League he has been constantly in trouble.

If this continues he will eventually be subjected to the NFL’s Personal Conduct Policy.

That means the Buccaneers could lose Talib for a year.

In the end Talib netter get it together.

The New Orleans Saints currently is the team to beat as they are just good on every area.

However, there is one thing that can derail the Saints and that is injuries.

Right now the Saints have been lucky in thos area as they have not suffered any season ending injuries to starters.

However, as the season goes on sooner or later that will happen.

The key for the Saints is that it happens to only one or two players.

In the end if the Saints have a rash of injuries then they can forget abpout the Superbowl.

The Glazer family yesterday vehemently denied a report by WDAE’s Dan Sileo that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are for sale due to a $440 million loss in Berinie Madoff’s scam.

The question is now who is telling the truth and who is lying?

Sileo stated that his sources was a friend in the Security Exchange Commission.

The fact of the matter is that only a idiot would make up a lie involving the S.E.C.

Also, teams lie all the time when selling their team or trading a player as admitting so would cost the team as they would have less leverage, thus they would get less in return

WDAE has suspended Sileo pending an investigation.

In the end I do not doubt that Sileo will be proven right.

The Atlanta Falcons have the dubious task of having to try and beat the undefeated New Orleans Saints.

With the Saints firing on all cylinders the question is can the Saints be stopped.

The Falcons go into this week beeing the obvious underdog as their defense is not as good as the offense.

So how can the Falcons stop the Saints offense?

First, they need to pressure on Saints quarterback Drew Brees to make a mistake.

Secondly, when blitzing make sure the coverage is tight at all times as even lining up far off receivers will hurt the Falcons.

The offense has a tough task as well as Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams has them play spectacular.

Even with Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan looking like an elite level quarterback he still has to becareful as he is only in his sefond year and Williams is sure to throw coverages at him he never saw before.

In the end the Falcons are essentially looking at a David versus Goliath matchup, but can the Falcons slay Goliath?

The Atlanta Falcons went into Sunday withe the daunting task of stopping the Chicago Bears offense.

With the Falcons getting the win and the defense doing a solid job against the Bears offense things are coming together for the Falcons.

The Falcons took away the running game of the Bears away as the leading rusher was quarterback Jay Cutler who scrambled three times for 34 yards.

Your not gonna win many football games not being able to run the football.

Cutler did throw for 300 yards passing with two touchdowns, but considering that it was on 43 passes is pretty good.

In the end the Falcons will make the playoffs as a wild card as division rivals New Orleans Saints is right now the best team in the National Football League.

The New Orleans Saints Sunday beat the snot out of the New York Giants improving to 5-0 on the year.

The question now is can anyone stop them?

The Saints faced their toughest defensive opponent yet and they still put up 48 points.

Not only is the offense looking good the defense held the Giants to 17 points before Giants starting quarterback Eli Manning was replaced for the rest of the game by backup David Carr.

Right now the Saints are looking like the New England Patriots from 2007.

In the end the way they are playing, ans if they stay healthy, the Saints could go undefeated.

On WFNZ last week Carolina Panthers linebacker John Beason stated he was going to talk to defensive end Julius Peppers about his performance.

The reality is that is what great leaders do no matter in public or not, and Beason shouldn’t have appologized for it.

Beason got a lot of negative attention following the comments, which prompted to appologize on WFNZ this week.

In the Buffalo News today Jerry Sullivan wrote that former Buffalo Bills wide receiver Andre Reed this past Sunday told him that him and other veterans on the Bills during their Superbowl years would hold closed door meetings following a loss, which were players only, telling the other players what was expected.

In the end the fact of the matter is that what Beason did is what good leaders do and if that hurt Peppers feeling then though luck and go suck it up like a real man.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are 0-4 this year as their defense is in the midst changing over schemes.

With the Buccanees being bad many will be wondering when will they put in rookie quarterback Josh Freeman.

Freeman was taken in the first round of this past April’s National Football League draft to be the future of the franchise.

There has been a growing trend of rookie quarterbacks starting right away.

However, Freeman is not one of those and the Buccaneers need to be careful not to subcome to urges.

In the end both Buccaneers coaches and fans need to be paitient, because rushing Freeman could mean disaster.

The Atlanta Falcons has not been nearly as good as their offense this year.

That leaves one to wonder whether they are going to find the answers necessary get the defense going.

The defense’s biggest problem is stopping the run as they are struggling in that department with the loss of defensive tackle Peria Jerry.

Also, the pass rush for the Falcons has nonexistent as according to the Atlanta Journal Constitution reports that the defensive line has not recorded a sack in the last two days.

In the end if the Falcons do not find a solution to their problems they could miss out on the playoffs.

The New Orleans Saints have had an outstanding passing game since they signed quarterback Drew Brees in free agency.

With the running game and defense looking good 2009 is starting to look like the year that the Saints make it to the Superbowl.

Last week the Buffalo Bills held Brees in check, but countered that with their running game as they made enough plays to stay on the field and eventually wear out the defense.

The more important aspect to come out of last weeks game for the Saints was the fact that their defense is starting to take form as they held the Bills to 243 yards of total offense.

Now, with the offense and defense taking both taking for the Saints ar now a Superbowl contender.

In the end the only thing they need to worry about to the end of the season is injuries.
