Ah, I see. Family ties does tend to sway where our cheers go. I still hold out hope that for the Bucs to have a successful season this year, all they need is six wins. (I said this back in May)

Moving on...

According to my sources (my eyes and the morning paper), these are the five worst scoring offenses in the league 1/4 of the season into the year.

5. Washington Redskins - At this point in the season, the 'Skins are averaging 14 pts/gm, or just two TDs every 6 quarters (this number gets even lower when dating back to last season)... they are only ranked this high because they have a .500 record.

4. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - With "Laser-armed" Leftwich, the Buccaneers were averaging around 20 pts/gm, up until he actually became a statue against the Giants, and garnered less than 100 total yards of offense. Now, the Bucs haven't scored as many points thru 4 games as the Packers have in their last two (54 to 60).

3. Cleveland Browns - congratulations to them and Derek Anderson; they've scored their first offensive touchdown in their last nine games. Let's hope this sudden streak of firepower doesn't end with a tally of one.

2. Oakland Raiders - It's a sad state of affairs in Raider Nation when your most consistent player is the kicker. The Janikowskis have scored 21 points in 4 games so far... anyone else donning the silver and black, only 18.

1. St. Louis Rams - been shut out in half of the games they've played this year. If that doesn't say it all. Perhaps, if you compare that in four games St. Louis cannot score as many points as in a single Lions' game's losing effort (either game in week 1 or week 4), then this organization could quite possibly threaten the Lions now broken losing streak.

- honorable mention - Carolina Panthers - total points scored thru three games - 37 - total turnovers - 11 - total wins thus far because of this - 0 - what a total mess
