Auman -- "If Bucs beat Falcons next week in Atlanta, they would have first place in the NFC South. Even head-to-head, same division. Ahead on common opponents."
Falcons 2.5 point favorites so essentially a toss up.
Both teams looked terrible this week in wins
we need a win to stay alive so hopefully we want it more. Be nice if some of our injured guys could come back
Lets hope Devin White stays sidelined. I think Ryan Neal might be a better LB somehow
If the Bucs defeat the Falcons next weekend, the Bucs then have games against the Packers (who are looking good tonight) followed by the Bucs hosting the Jags. Last 2 games will be against the Saints and at Carolina. The Falcons host the Bucs, at Carolina, home against the Colts at Chicago and at New Orleans. I think to win the NFCS the Bucs need to beat either GB or the Jags.
"The Bucs have an opprtunity to avenge that brutal 16-13 home loss to Atlanta. Run defense will be a key against a ground-oriented attack. The Falcons beat the Jets Sunday, despite averaging a mere 3.0 yards on their 64 snaps."

maybe but I think if we sweep the division games we have a high likelihood of getting in at 8-9
falcons dropping colts and saints game isn’t a stretch and that would get them at 8-9 with us holding tiebreaker
Auman - The NY Times playoff simulator now has the Bucs with a 30 percent chance of making the playoffs -- that increases to 53 percent if they win in Atlanta next week. Falcons are at 64 percent right now, and it goes to 85 percent if they win next week. Saints at 23 percent now.
If the Bucs play like the dog shit past two games, the Falcons will beat them easily.
We are getting gashed in the middle run defense needs to improve we need more toughness inside, just leave gholston diaby vea hall shaq out there and don’t give up easy slants play close coverage. Ridder sucks so don’t give him the easy pitch and catch and he will miss. Be alert on qb options.
Stop the run
dont give up east pitch and catch - if he beats us with 250 yards that’s fine, just don’t let them move the chains rudder is almost incapable of chunk plays because of how he’s coached
alert on qb options/ screens and we entirely stop them
Honestly cover 1 with the robber looking for London is an easy third down call because he doesn’t look at pitts and he loves the slant/dig to London for first downs. No green dog blitzes cause rb will leak out just keep the spy and watch underneath for London
Atlanta offense can only get us with misdirection and lack of focus. Stay focus be aware of down and distances, and watch the film. After this victory get ready to go against packers cause jobs not done. It’s an important but none of this shit matter if we get shitted on by packers and jags.
Team cannnot get too high too low and needs to have a 9 in a row mindset. They lack focus game by game cause they sippin on their dam koolaid too much after one game.
I’m making the trip to Atlanta on Sunday to see our Bucs in person. LFG!!
Bucs defense needs to be more disciplined for run defense to tighten up.
anyone want to guess to final score?
(or do we just compare line ups?)
