Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ Atlanta Falcons Official Game Day Thread- 12/05/21

[King Bootz]

We enter the final full month of the season with a matchup against our division rival the 5-6 Atlanta Falcons. Tampa Bay enters today on a 2 game win streak while the Falcons are on a 1 game win streak, beating the Jaguars last week.

While Atlanta is relatively healthy, star WR Calvin Ridley remains away from the team for personal issues. Tampa Bay meanwhile...



And that doesn't include the hot story of the week with WR Antonio Brown & S Mike Edwards being suspended for submitting fraudulent Covid-19 vaccine cards.

Let's hope for a good game with no injuries(God knows Tampa can't afford anymore injuries) and Let's get out of Atlanta with a win.

61 & cloudy in Atlanta but the roof will no doubt be closed at the Mercedes Benz Stadium.

Go Bucs!

[Dread]

They just played the SECCG there last night. Fun weekend in Atlanta.

Hopefully the Bucs can have a dominant performance today. I get it's any given Sunday in the NFL, but talent wise the Bucs are a superior team amd this is the time of year teams who do well in January start to separate themselves.

It will be sixty three by kickoff

Go Bucs!

[mdb1958]

Need to show Matt it's time to hang em up and that Josh shoulda never put em on.

[BJJ34]

Vilma, really?

[Cheb]

Godwin jogged his route then dropped it.

Starting flat again.

Starting flat again.

It hit his foot. It was a bad throw.

[King Bootz]

Why so pass happy? And against 2 deep looks

[Cheb]

Why so pass happy? And against 2 deep looks

Great question. Eight straight passes thus far.

Per the stats they are throwing onscreen, we have the highest pass ratio in the NFL.

Nine straight now.

[Digital_Damage]

Why so pass happy? And against 2 deep looks

Because we can...

[TonyLip]

Lenny with a softie!

[King Bootz]

Great catch Lenny

[ATrain]

God damn that was a great drive.

[BJJ34]

My guess is Tom needs completions for some record?

[Rocker]

Clinical.

[13F11B]

Amazing first drive. Nice catch by Leonard at the end. Will be interesting to see how the defense is w/o Edwards.

[Backside]

Fournette becoming a great receiving back is a wonderful development.

[Cheb]

My guess is Tom needs completions for some record?

Doesn't he own just about every passing record already?

Just checked the completions per game, Brady is tied with Drew Bledsoe and Elvis Grbac for 39 completions in a game. Maybe the goal for the game is to break that so he has it by himself?

Anything for motivation I guess.

[Cheb]

I don't know who else is in the running for Comeback Player of the Year, but Cordarrelle Patterson has to be in the top three finalists.

[Digital_Damage]

The defense sucks... lol

[King Bootz]

Patterson is so tough to tackle.

[13F11B]

Well, that Patterson run showed the defense still can't tackle.

[King Bootz]

Soooooo this run defense.....

[Digital_Damage]

Jesus Christ... what a shit show Bowles brings every week.

[Cheb]

Patterson broke four tackles there I think.

[13F11B]

The vaunted rushing defense just got gashed like Pete Pierson's pysche.

[King Bootz]

Now we see why JTS doesn't play a ton. He's a liability in run D.

[Hit55]

Oof! After a surgical offensive possession, the defense responds by showing the world they're afraid to tackle? Yikes!

[ATrain]

Like usual, it's one or the other with this team. Either the offense or defense will look like dogshit. Looks like the defense decided it was their turn.

[Digital_Damage]

Patterson broke four tackles there I think.

Which has always been a problem... Bowles can't correct the simple things.

[King Bootz]

Patterson broke four tackles there I think.

At least. I agree with you, he has to be Comeback POTY. He looked like a 1st round bust for so long and has this resurgence this year. It's really incredible.

[air-buc-pirate]

White getting blocked as usual

[Cheb]

Now we see why JTS doesn't play a ton. He's a liability in run D.

Nope, not his responsibility. The TD run for sure wasn't in his gap, he had outside contain on that side. Not sure about the Patterson run but JPP got cracked on the Patterson run and got punked outta the play.

False narratives are fun.

[IronDog]

Yippee!

[Brady-andthebucs]

Yup. If this is how the D is going to play today, we need to keep em on the bench by running the ball more.
