Talk about two horrendous defenses.  These guys can’t stop anybody this season.  Tampa can’t win at home and the Falcons, well, they just can’t win period.  Just when the Falcons looked as if they were getting back on track in their last game in London, they self-destructed but once again and blew a game they should’ve won.  The Bucs are turning to Josh McCown again to get it going and won’t find two many better defensive matchups to do just that.  At least he doesn’t have to worry about getting sacked apparently.  But this Tampa defense looks like one of the worst units I’ve ever seen.  Great news for Matt Ryan and company.  They could really use a soft defense to crank up this potentially explosive offense they have.  The Bucs really don’t have anyone that is going to be able to stop Julio Jones, or really anyone on the Falcons offense.

This one comes down to the fact that the Falcons just have the better offense in this one.  Statistically, the Falcons aren’t much better on defense, but offensively they are a much better unit than Tampa.  Unless McCown can utilize his monstrous wide receiving weapons to his advantage against this suspect Falcons pass defense, it will be a long day in Tampa.  It is a division game and the Bucs really need a win, but the Falcons will be looking at this one just the same.  And there is no better place to play on the road this year than in Tampa Bay.
