Don't Look Now, BUT...

[BirdzEyeView]

Don't look now, but the Bucs are suddenly nipping at our heels in the race for the division. I've reviewed there schedule and don't see any noteworthy teams they've beaten, thus far. In fact, they were blown OUT by the Steelers...a team we took to OT and SHOULD have beaten.

Most Falcons fans are not too concerned about the Bucs, but should we be?? We haven't exactly been "lights out" on offense, so far, and it seems they are very similar to Cleveland (with exception to their record), in that, they just seem to "hang around" in hopes of "stealing" a win in the last seconds. I, personally, don't see 1 team on the remainder of our schedule we can't beat. What do you all think?

I think that you never ever never underestimate an opponent

and especially a Divisional Opponent.

[Top Flight]

not worried about the bucs at all

I agree...That said, I like our chances, IF we play up to our potential.

[Joremarid]

we'll see very soon.

[revo3]

Not worried about the bucs, but in all honesty, the ravens scare me

Same. I was at the beginning of the season, but not so much now.

Our D is stout. Flacco is gonna be hurtin'.

[Sleepy27]

[Spoooooooon4MVP]

i don't care what team it is we should win 9/10 times if we keep it with in a reasonable score 1 - 8 points.

[Geneaut]

I've been saying Josh Freeman is a helluva QB since last year.

[BruceReville]

Next week it is Tampa vs New Orleans - Who to cheer for? - Pray for a tie? - Why can't they both just lose DAMMITT!!!

:lol:

I think we pull for Tampa to win when they lock up next week. We still have 2 games left with Tampa and, therefore, will control our own destiny...

[Captain Falcon]

I don't know about worried, but we should take not of their success. They are not a bad team, but I don't see them making the playoffs either.

[MattyIceIsSoNice]

I'm not too worried about the Bucs, they shouldn't have ever won today. They got really lucky with that INT at the end and I still think that catch on the sidelines wasn't a catch there at the end. I'd love to see them beat the Saints next week.

[joenate]

I hope Tampa Bay defeats New Orleans next week. With that being said, I hope we win both games against Tampa Bay. You never overlook, underestimate, or check off any team in the NFL, especially a divisional opponent.

[GANDI]

Our offense will come around and when it does most teams in the League wont stand a chance. Right now we have a top ten Defense and our offense is under Achieving

[DirtyBirdNorth]

I don't underestimate any team on our schedule. Too much parity in the NFL.

The same thing could be said about two of our wins.....Dude, the Falcons are not the only good / lucky team in the leauge.

[kibitzer]

Bucs have almost always played the Falcons really, really tough. Even when they've had "sucky" teams. Which I don't consider this to be one of their worst.

Still, I'll take Ryan over Freeman, ftw!

If jenks would ever come back.

i think that there is a reason why people use the phrase any given sunday. There is always the chance that the Falcons will lose the game. especially if our special teams keeps playing the way they are and our O doesn't start putting up better #'s.

This Is Very True.

Was Gonna Write The Same Thing As I Read The First Post.

[Falcon Freddie]

Here's a point of view that all-too-many of you apparently have never considered: Are the Tampa Bay Buccaneers concerned about the Atlanta Falcons? Should the Bucs be?

A lot of you won't believe this, but overestimating your adversaries is just as damaging as underestimating them. You also have to have some confidence in your own abilities.
