and the Redskins werent? what about the Saints? or the Titans? Giants? Eagles? Romo and Dez-less Cowboys? each of these teams has given the Falcons a run for their money.

people can point out our schedule, but the only teams that pushed us were a Texans team that still had alot to fight for, a Saints team led by a QB we didnt have tape on, and a Seattle team that is no where near as bad as their record may indicate. The Falcons on the other hand, have been depending on other team's meltdowns to win.

It's a division game & the Bucs have long had the Falcons' number. I wouldn't be so fast to count the Bucs out. But I'm not calling this one either. lol

The Bucs are gonna get murdered by Julio. They have no possible way of covering him. I'm starting him in every single Draftkings lineup. Julio is due for a 200 yd 2 TD game.

On the other side of the ball the Bucs only chance is to run Doug Martin 30 times. Trufant has been a pretty good shutdown corner and if he takes out Evans, then the Bucs really have no other options to throw to.

I want the Bucs to win but I don't see it happening. The poster above is right, its just a bad matchup for the Bucs. They have had great trouble against opposing team's #1 option and Julio Jones is hungry.

Now is that pic real or photoshopped?

real. it's been floating around for a couple years.

At least we play the Cowboys on Thanksgiving afternoon. That gives us somewhat of a mini-bye near the end of the season. Ten days between games

Yeah ive been seeing it for a while but never really knew. Had to get to the bottom of it today.

You know I'm a little surprised at how well Winston has done this year.  I honestly thought he was going to be a bust...still might, but he's having a quietly decent year for a rookie.

He's definitely legit. He predictably started off wild but has really sharpened it up recently and looked really good. He's certainly liable to have a 5 turnover game at any time but he is plenty capable of winning games. Doug Martin is the most impressive player on that team though. He's looking like a top 3 RB in the NFL this year.

We really need to win this game.. 2 losses in the division and having Carolina be up by 2 games.. Not good ...

I would not sleep on Winston at all.  He's got all the skills but he's young, needs coaching and is going to a pretty bad football team. He also has a lot of off field baggage coming with him which fuels national media and opinion.  

I think he's gonna get punched in the mout a lot  this year but he is gonna start punching back soon enough.  That team has weapons on the offense. Only a matter of time before they raise their head.  

 

All that said, I still hate the Bucs and their Crab King QB. Hate the Falcons and their gender neutral QB even more but Math wins for me every time.  Hoping for a $h!//t! game with no injuries but Go Bucs!  .
