Could we realisticly sweep the division this year?

[ukfalc]

Tampa has wins against Cleveland, Cinn[ a gift from Palmer], Carolina and STL[ by a point], got crushed by the Steelers and NO.

So, they have wins against teams a combined 7-22, and losses against teams that are 9-3.

Freeman is a good young QB who can make things happen, but the Bucs have too many holes. Falcons should beat them both games.

That's true, but they can say the same about us. Only 1 of our wins is a against a team with a winning record.

I do like our chances, but the Bucs a have confidence and momentum and will have even more if they beat the Cards next week.

Tampa has one of the worst run Ds in the league, Falcons have one of the best run Os, when a strength goes up against a weakness, strength usually wins.

Funny how everyone is focusing on the bucs. Carolina could pull an upset.

Throw all of that stuff out of the window when it comes to division rivalries...anything goes. :mellow:

It's possible, yes, but don't count anyone out. The Bucs are finding ways to stay in games to let Freeman win games at the last second, we play the Panthers at a point when bottom dwellers stop caring and play to upset teams, and the Saints will be out for revenge.

That's true, but not always. It's about individual matchups and divisional games can also be unpredictable.

Offensively we need to open up the offense as we did yesterday, rather than just assuming that we can win by predictably running up the middle all day.

Defensively, we have still have a habit of allowing average and QB to have career days aginst us. We can't afdford to let freeman do the same. We need get to Freeman and keep him under pressure.

I'm not part of the team- I can speculate all I want. Falcons are superior to the Tampa and Carolina, doesn't mean they can't lose, but the Falcons ARE a better team.

One thing I'm sure of is that Smith and Ryan will have this team ready to go.

Of course you can. I think we're a better team as well but don't be surprised if we're fighting late into the 4th quarter in both those games.

**** tampa were gonna hickr'y stick their faces in.

[atlndvd]

we won the toughest of all 6 already... in New Orleans. We're certainly capable. But this team likes to put together stink effort against weak teams. So idk. Don't think so far ahead. We need to focus on winning the next game after the BYE. Then focus on winning the week after that. So on, so on...

Sure, it's possible, I also think that this year the falcons are a much better team than the Bucs and the Panthers.

I think what we saw out of the Offense last week is just the beginning. Also think that the D will get better the more all the new pieces work together.
