PrintTampa Bay Buccaneers at Atlanta Falcons, Nov 29, 2009 1:00 PM EST
Hopefully we're staring at the right end of six wins by the end of this game.
For an informal set of scouting reports on the game, visit this thread at Canal Street Chronicles. Everyone's a little puzzled that I'd want to know anything at all about the Bucs, which I guess is a testament to how poorly their year's gone to date. I refuse to take anything for granted at this point in the season, though. It also appears, according to Steve Wyche, that Michael Turner is going to play against the Bucs. I'm...not sure I like that move, but we'll see.
If all goes well, I'll be joining for you the game this afternoon. See you brave souls right here, wot?
Who? Atlanta Falcons vs. Tampa Bay Bucs, 1 p.m. EST
Where? Georgia Dome, Atlanta, Georgia
Weather? Did you know that tiny droplets of rain cannot pierce a metal roof? Really! It's true!
Fun Fact? The Falcons just canned Verron Haynes and have brought Troy Bergeron back to the active roster. With struggles and injuries a way of life in the receiving corps these days, he's more than welcome to join the mix.
Injuries? Again, though Turner's questionable, he's apparently likely to play. Brian Finneran is out, Curtis Lofton and Sam Baker are both questionable but likely to play, and Marty Booker is listed as questionable for some non-injury related reason. If he doesn't go, Eric Weems will be our third receiver.
The Bucs just have a bunch of probables, so screw those guys.
Odds? Atlanta over Tampa Bay, 12.0, O/U 46.0
Foe? Our fine friends at Buc 'Em will be following along. Be sure to visit.
GO FALCONS! Let's plunder these Bucs!

I predict a 38 to 17 Falcon win today.
I expect TDs from Mr Jenks, Roddy, Snelling, and 2 from Gonzo.
I got bored last night and made a Tony Gonzalez fan site. Not much on there yet, but a couple of good highlight videos. My fav play is one where TG has single coverage from the Raiders; all-pro corner and just schools him. If you visit, there is some offensive language on the 50 cent audio for one of the vids, so you may want to turn the sound down if that bothers you. Anyway, it was fun to start a site, and here’s the link:

Don't expect Turner to play
Norwood was active last week too, but he didn’t play. I’d rather not see Turner play unless the roof caves in, save & heal him for the stretch run.
according to Jay glazer he’ll start

Let's take advantage of the break
That’s effectively a turnover, good teams make hay when that happens.

What were TD and Mike Smith smoking when
They decided to leave the remaining secondary players instead of trying to get a Ty Law kind of guy or another good FA. Seriously anyone can play better than the likes of Houston.

even with his busted knees and old age
id rather have him then Houston and Hill getting destroyed on a weekly basis
I dunno, this is my thing
I think there’s reasonable alternatives out there, but I don’t think one of them is named Ty Law. Like Ray Lewis, the guy was coasting on fumes and reputation his last couple years.

yea thats true
but atleast its an option then goin in with a bunch of young guys still learning to play the game wasn’t such a good idea
At least we held them to a field goal
Now the offense has to do something. I recommend sitting Turner and letting him heal up.

In the words of TMQ – Buck Buck Braaawwwwwkkk!
4th and 10 isn't nearly as advisable as 4th and 5 or less.
It was smart to try Elam, it was not smart to continue paying him after week 5.
"Ryan, under center. Single receiver set, time on his side. Ryan, gonna throw. First professional pass.....CAUGHT!! Jenkins! 30! 25! 20! 15! 10! 5! He lives in Atlanta!!!"
The coaching staff has gotten a free pass for much of the season, but let's review
Today they have:
1) Made a series of random changes at cornerback.
2) Played Turner and aggravated an existing injury.
3) Continued to employ Jason Elam.
I think the warm glow has worn off for one week.

Injuries today have definitely not helped.
I wouldn’t put it all on the coaching staff, but playing Turner was, as TMQ would say, the single worst play of the season, so far.
Elam’s been one of the best kickers of all time. It’s hard to show someone like that the door, though, ya know?
"Ryan, under center. Single receiver set, time on his side. Ryan, gonna throw. First professional pass.....CAUGHT!! Jenkins! 30! 25! 20! 15! 10! 5! He lives in Atlanta!!!"
yeah
1. playing turner: straight up stupid
2. sorry to say it: elam has to go
3. cornerbacks: i can live with giving owens a chance. it can’t get worse and we need to see what we have in him

Elam has to go, now.
He’s been called out and hasn’t produced. It’s time for him to go.
I can also live with giving Owens a chance, but I believe he went out with an injury, so that’s all she wrote with him.
Playing Turner seriously irks me. No reason to rush him, now he’s probably out for longer than before.
"Ryan, under center. Single receiver set, time on his side. Ryan, gonna throw. First professional pass.....CAUGHT!! Jenkins! 30! 25! 20! 15! 10! 5! He lives in Atlanta!!!"
Starting with 1) the coaches don’t know what they are doing and the moral has to be low with guys not knowing from minute to minute where they are playing, I know BG just loves playing and some things can’t be understood, but this is ridiculous
2) He should never have played, you knew he was hurt, isn’t that why you practice, so the next guy is ready for the game, why would you take that chance.
3) Don’t start me on Elam, all he has to do is kick, I must stop, because he is someone’s child, and you know how I feel about that (smile)
Dave, I will just be glad when this season is over. Eventually, I will be happy.
No kidding.

Perfect kick
1 yard deep ni the endzone, nice special teams tackle to stop them at the 20. They wasted more time taking it out of the end zone.

He should be.
this game was a total disaster.
"Ryan, under center. Single receiver set, time on his side. Ryan, gonna throw. First professional pass.....CAUGHT!! Jenkins! 30! 25! 20! 15! 10! 5! He lives in Atlanta!!!"
As well he should
Not a lot to feel good about here, aside from the W.

He should, because musical chairs is not the solution, personally, I think it’s something entirely different (smile). I must stop now.
I think Brent's getting the short end of the stick
I firmly believe that. I don’t think he’s been any worse than anyone else and has, in fact, been better, so I’m not sure why he’s not starting right now. Like I said, I’d love to hear a reasonable explanation…

...I wouldn't go that far.
Maybe a bit of an overreaction. A great win, nonetheless. I’m glad we have Redman, that’s for sure.
"Ryan, under center. Single receiver set, time on his side. Ryan, gonna throw. First professional pass.....CAUGHT!! Jenkins! 30! 25! 20! 15! 10! 5! He lives in Atlanta!!!"
Hmm
I wouldn’t say it is. Matty hasn’t been playing like Peyton Manning of late.
You can never have enough depth.
...he played fine last week.
And he threw all of 3 passes this week. I wouldn’t expect him to play like Peyton right now. Peyton’s worst season was his 3rd season. Lest you forget Matty Ice is in season #2.
"Ryan, under center. Single receiver set, time on his side. Ryan, gonna throw. First professional pass.....CAUGHT!! Jenkins! 30! 25! 20! 15! 10! 5! He lives in Atlanta!!!"
actually, Peyton Manning
has the record for most ints in a season if i recall. so, maybe he did look a little like Peyton. basically, even great QB’s have terrible stretches..

Yep, just ask Brett Favre.
Also, if Peyton holds the single season INT record, I would be shocked.

yeah, i'm wrong on that
i just heard something about manning like that though.. i’ll see if i can find it.

All Im saying is he played well
No need for you to get carried away.
You can never have enough depth.
Oh very true.
Im just playing on the fact that we think Matty is the only clutch QB on our roster.
You can never have enough depth.
that's enough for me
but good for him and for the team. it’s nice to know your backup can get the job done.

Agreed.
Deja Vu was a wonderful thing, today. Thank you, Redman, for existing and being a model #2 QB.
