Ignatius J. Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 So I'm watching the bucs falcons game, and I want to believe that our success has been more than a mirage, but this game is giving me pause. The bucs D is just destroying the falcons O. Three interceptions already. The falcons have only 3 points, despite some very good field position. In another thread a poster is asking why the redskins D isn't geting any respect. This game seems like as good a reason as any. If we stop the giants this afternoon I will breathe a sigh of relief, but this game has me thinking that we really need a statement game. Our D will need to pick itself up, especially in the turnover department. I'm not trying to take anything away from our success, good teams do what we did, they beat bad teams. That alone is an improvement that might get us into the playoffs. I just don't think we are as good as our stats and wins are indicating. Actually, it would be more accurate to say that I am worried that we're not as good as we have looked. -DB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godeatgod Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 Another way to look at this game is that Falcons despite being a horrible team beat up the cowboys who beat up the Giants. So, how horrible are the giants? Nah, this isn't how this works. Teams have tape on Doug Johnson and Tampa's defense is , well, the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor The Invincible Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 Anything can happen on any given sunday. Teams will look difference depending on who they play. Teams gameplan differently for different teams. So I don't think you can look at how the Bucs are doing and then compare to how we did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woofer Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 Yea, I would not put too much into this. Buc's D is great, and the Cowboys really played above themselves on Monday night. They always do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTerps2002 Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 Good observations ..... I will say one thing though ... Tampa's offense isn't looking that good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Om Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 Well, that's because the Falcons D is so solid. Not just anyone can lay 33 on those guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost of Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 Johnson struggles most with zone coverages. What a surprise, that's what Tampa does best. And don't tell me losing 33-31 after having a 17 pt lead doesn't deflate you a little bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
