I think we can beat their back ups.. I hope.

[Quikdraw]

I know a lot of fans are hoping the Bucs lose for a better draft pick, but I really hope we can pull off the upset and pick up a "W". 6 losses in a row will leave a bad taste in my mouth all off-season long.

Turn the ship around!!!

Come on the Bucs!

[Brewhouse94]

Hope we end on a positive note with a huge win, But also a loss wouldn't be all that bad since it might move us in position for a higher draft pick. But if we cant beat what will most likely be the falcons backups this will be super embarrassing!

[Jumba]

I see us winning this. If Falcons rest, we will win by at least 10.

[MagicBucsSox]

I hope we lose

@IKaufmanTBO: If the Falcons throw for 252 yards or more Sunday, the 2012 Bucs will have surrendered the most passing yards in the NFL’s 93-year history

It was nice knowing ya, Ron Cooper!

We need the best DB's coach money can buy.

We need the best DB's coach money can buy.

I think that we need the best defensive backs that money can buy. I think that Cooper can coach. He's about to put his 4th LSU product into the NFL in a few years(Claiborne, Patrick Peterson, Honey Badger, and Eric Reid--who would look lovely lining up next to Mark Baron for the next 8 years, I might add)! The man can obviously develop talent (Claiborne was a QB/WR that converted to CB in college and was a top 10 draft pick). He just doesn't have any talent in Tampa to work with right now.

I can't stress how bad we need to lose this game . Major difference in draft position

^^^^completely wrong....i dont understand how you can follow the nfl for so long and have an opinion like this

A draft pick is a gamble...your seriously talking about a couple spots....no big deal

you go for the w plain and simple....need to show some fight

Bc you sacrifice battles to win a war. Going 7-9 proves nothing more than 6-10. This ain't the NFC west that doesn't cut it in this region. Doesn't make us any better.

We were "a couple spots" from Calvin Johnson, Suh, etc etc. and we're talking a difference of 9 spots. That's not a couple.

A won today can cost us more than we'd gain

If we were heading to the 2007 draft, and playing for Calvin Johnson, I would say loose the game. However, that is not the case. I have been hearing all week about how analysts believe the Falcons will go up by so much in the 1st half, that Luke Mccown will be able to hold it down in the second. I am offended by this, and so should all Bucs fans be.

This is a game for pride, and a game that can builf momentum heading into the offseason. A meaningless game has never meant more to me. Lets beat the **** out of these birds. Lets play well, and move into an offseason that will hopefully put us over the top.

Let's go bucs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
