The Bucs are 16th in scoring, 9th in yardage, 11th in rushing, and 9th in passing. It's not like we're the Raiders or anything. I really don't get the hate from the Falcons fans, but if I had to guess.......:D

We'll see you in the dome

Kind of a redundant comment. When the Bucs beat you for a second time I hope that finally shuts you guys up.

Beat us up? We deserve a bit more respect than that by now. We are 4-0 at the dome. Ryan has yet to turn over the ball at home. Michael Turner has had three 100 yard games out of 4 games. Here are Drew Brees' numbers before the Falcons game: 69%, 8.4 YPA, 2.14 TD-INT ratio. His numbers during the game: 53%, 7.3 YPA, .66 TD-INT (both his TDs came after the Falcons led 27-6 in the 4th Q).

This is not the Falcons team of the past that you can take for granted.

Your opponents at the Dome: Detroit, Kansas City, Chicago and New Orleans.

Their combined record: 10-26

But all that aside. I look forward to watching the rematch... Unless I have to work that day. :(

Our offense sucks? If Gruden could call decent plays in the red zone we would be undefeated and among the most high-powered offenses in the league.

I love how we rape Atlanta and Carolina and yet their fans still talk **** like they're better than us.

The second paragraph has nothing to do with 'if'.

Talk **** like they are better than you guys? What the ****? Relax. No one said the Falcons team is better than the Bucs. We are just saying that you can't really chalk that game up as a W because of your dominant win last time the 2 teams played. All the points I bring up are to prove that point. Not the point of us winning easily.

And you can't even step away and read something because I post it, that shows your immaturity, and the fact that you think that shows you twist things to exactly how you want them to sound, or read in this case.

I've said it many times on this board and I'll say it again, read WHAT I say, not read INTO what I say. So until you can show me how I even presented that, keep your malicious false allegations to you and your Tampa Homers.

Now what I said makes a little more sense deangelo?

It appears Gruden still hasn't learned from his mistakes....in fact his red zone playcalling has regressed. What we're capable of is meaningless at this point because we obviously aren't going to run up the score on teams with Mr. 3-point calling the plays.

d34ng3l021 · 11-16-2008, 03:42 PM

Oh. Since when does iloxy's opinion count? Do you guys take him seriously?

etk · 11-16-2008, 03:44 PM

No....but he's still a person, no? You said no one said the Falcons are better than the Bucs......he said it, even if his opinion is worthless.

Yeah I guess. I'll change it to no one with an opinion that counts says the Falcons are better than the Bucs.

Opposing fans will always talk trash to each other, that's the whole point of "fans" in sports.

zCaddyz · 12-04-2008, 08:47 PM

hows jammal anderson doing?

d34ng3l021 · 12-04-2008, 08:54 PM

better than last year, but thats not saying much. its not saying anything at all actually.

zCaddyz · 12-07-2008, 12:09 PM

I really liked him coming out, i knew his was gonna stuggle for his first few years. It was johnson,adams,anderson, and amobi in that order that i wanted the bucs to get.

Atlanta lost, w00t!

d34ng3l021 · 12-07-2008, 10:29 PM

Yeah. I will be rooting for you guys tomorrow. Hand a division opponent their first loss at home against another divisional opponent. You guys can run away with the division crown, and we can get WC. I would be fairly happy with that.

Not sure about that run D. I mean the Saints have a horrible run O and you guys got shredded. We need to get Caddy up to par for our match with you guys, otherwise I fear Ryan might actually outduel Garcia. Then again passing on us is pretty much a recipe for disaster, but you get the point. It will be a good game unless we find a replacement for Graham.

Panthers have it tough in their next 4. I'm not too worried about them as long as we get 1 of our next 2.

I wonder how Ryan does against the TB D. He has been on fire as of late (69%, 250 YPG, 7 TD, 2 INT last 6 games) but those have been against sub par opponents. He seems to be really getting a grasp of the offense and I want to see how he responds against a top ranked pass D. The good news is the Falcons bounce back well after losses (since week 3, whenever we lose, we win the next 2)

etk · 12-07-2008, 10:43 PM

Matt Ryan likes to take chances 20-30 yards down the field. It's worked most of the time, but not against us. Our defense feeds off that. He needs to play the 8-12 area to beat us. Brian Finneran's gotta bring his A game.

Yeah. Hopefully he has learned and gotten a chance to review game film from their defense.

I'm bored at work, and reading this thread brightened my day slightly...

Go San Diego!
