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?

    • This guy pre-draft was saying he could take or leave football, and he seems to have been playing with that mentality ever since lol.  
    • Agreed, another safety would be nice. Bud Clark, TCU, is one I would like to see us take a flyer on later in the draft, if he stays healthy and we don't take someone earlier. I just really hope we draft a solid C this year. Tired of seeing us cycle through average to below average players in that area.
    • Bryce doesn't like throwing into the middle of the field unless the play broke down or it's set up to give him a passing lane.  So because of this issue, most of the passing offense has to be outside the numbers towards the boundary. So you see him throw a lot of dump offs, swing routes, short side out routes, comebacks or deep balls outside the numbers using the boundary as protection of an interception.    Pretty easy for a NFL defense to see this and scheme against it.  All you have to do is run a shell cover 2 deep dime, LB plays a hook underneath, take the flat away with a blitz/flat zone option for the two inside DB's, outside two DB's play hook zone underneath and carry anything deep.    Pretty much what NO ran to take away Rico while also limiting What Bryce can do as well.
