The Cannon is ready in wait, good luck to McCown, as he has not played bad but definitely not great.
I am ready to see Glennon drop 15-25 yard dimes to the Dunkaneers.

While I fully recognize that the two teams we have played were headed by 2nd or 3rd string QBs , it is still a fact that the current Bucs defense has given up only 39 pts in two games, for an obvious average of 19.5 pts/gm. That currently ranks 13th in the league. In fact, that 19.5 points allowed per game average would rank SEVENTH overall for last season 2013. Even in 2002, that 19.5 ppg would have ranked 7th in the entire league. Only three TDs, 3 EPs and 6 FGs so far this year.
This defense is maddening; with a bend but don’t break mentality, which allows teams to go up and down the field between the 20’s, but hopefully doesn’t give up touchdowns. They are predicated on an offensive miscue, turnover or sack to limit the opponents. And despite what everyone is complaining about, those are quite respectable points allowed totals. The problems are on OFFENSE where VERY conservative play calling has not even tried to put up at least 21 pts per game. Witness not one pass longer than 20 yds in the air in the first game. ( I know the pass play to ASJ went 26yds, but 12 in the air and 14 YAC on that one.) Even in the 2nd game very few targets of the wide receivers, other than quick slants and curls, until the very end of the game??! Even with a rushing attack that gained so many yds, we could only score 17. Not even ONE long pass play, even if it would be a “jump ball”, especially at the end of the first half, where you might get lucky and get a DPI, which would allow a last second field goal attempt. The only toss into the endzone by McCown targeting VJAX, turned out not to be one, since he couldn’t even hit the endzone, but instead hit the photographer kneeling beyond the large white “stripe”; wide right!!
Lastly, I believe it was Buc Realist who posted the link to MG8’s rookie highlights. Watch it again, and ask yourself if you have seen many (any) plays like that from McCown to date in 2014.

We all know how prolific Atlanta can be with all their weapons back besides their All Pro TE. What you may not know is their defense is way worse than ours, giving up the most points per game in the NFL! So our Offense should be a lot more prolific Thursday night! If the Defense can bend and not break, despite all our bad injuries it is still possible to beat the Falcons. Hopefully, they see all our injuries and think they can take us in a cake walk. If they are overconfident we may surprise them and the Bookies too. I have been watching my tape of the last game and what I am seeing is Josh playing even better than you all thought he did, with just one interception while under duress. But I also saw Golston not earning his money. He missed a big tackle and was not covering passes as well as he should. He has to step up this week or be replaced!!!
