Bucs @ Falcons

So... what are the chances the Panthers could be set up on Sunday with a chance to take a 2 game lead in the division on Monday?

I know "any given sunday". But I think the Falcons are looking mighty vulnerable right now. And TB has been playing better. I know they gave up a 24-0 lead, but still, signs of improvement front the squad. Atlanta keeps scraping by bad teams, even getting beat by the Saints. I think Tampa might surprise tomorrow. What do you guys think?

 

If not tomorrow, when do you think the Falcons' next loss will come?

Regardless of who wins, I bet it will be a ton closer than last year's 56-14 beatdown.  And it wouldn't surprise me if the Bucs did get a little payback for that--the Falcons were up 35-0 at the half and ran up three more TDs in the third before backing off and letting Tampa get 2 TDs in garbage time.

I wouldn't be worried about the dirty birds except for having to play them twice within weeks.  Add the long haul since our bye and things can happen.  I'll have trust in Rivera keeping fresh leggs available for the home stretch.  We can't afford anymore injuries.

I think playing them late in the season is to our advantage.  We are the tougher, more physical team.  We will be a little beaten up, but they will likely be more so.

In the last four years we're 15-4 in December.  Atlanta's been 8-10 over the same span. One team finishes the season stronger than the other, care to guess which?

    • I knew very little about this player before we drafted him. When I read scouting reports about him I understood the pick and thought it made sense as a late round receiver with speed and special teams ability but after watching him more closely and now adding his interviews into the equation I'm actually really excited about him. I know it's just RMC but I noticed him running his routes with this extra step that really stood out to me during the general video posted earlier without realizing who it was doing that.  His speed in his first cut is just on another level and it's visible. When I saw it I was **** whoa, who was that?! Then I saw Horn JR. and my first thought was oh it's him. I think it's very possible that he was under appreciated going into the draft due to his height and stats because he played at Colorado where the attention was on 2 other players but I think this dude's ceiling is way higher than most think it is. Especially after watching his interview. He looks hungry. I may have found my fav rook for this year's pre-season. I like pulling for underdogs anyway and as someone who played on the small side myself it just gives me more reason to cheer for him. The competition at WR looks like it's going to be fierce this season. I honestly can remember any preseason where I looked at out wr group and got past 3 players who I thought were interesting but this season I'm interested in at least 5 who have my attention going into the season. 
    • Wilson should be getting called for at least 3 penalties a night even in the post season. How does he not lead the NHL in PM???
