Is the Tampa D Ranking too Conservative (1 Viewer)

[NCPanthersFan]

I completely love this matchup and will be pulling GB for the 1st time this year in a favor of Tampa Bay. From everything Bloom had been saying, this was the week to get Tampa in the lineup. Yet the rankings really seem to be a tad conservative for them.

Thoughts?

I have had them for awhile looking at playoff weeks. Great matchup but my concern now is are the Falcons going to come out fired up and more motivated than ever to stick it to Petrino?? Are they so bad it doesn't matter or will they play over their heads now??

My fear as well. Just hate that I've had them for like 3 weeks just salivating for this matchup and now I'm gunshy. I usually regret not stickign with my initial instincts...but Redman just seems like the conservative guy. Will the Emitt open things up and actually play like "hey, it's 4th and 2 from my own 40, but F'it, we got nothing to lose"....or, does he play "this is my big debut, I better play by the book and look like I belong here."

This is such a train-wreck. And TB just didn't get ANYTHING going defensively vs. Sage Rosenfels....I mean, come on! It's was Sage! I've got GREAT other options (IND at OAK or BAL at MIA), so I think I'm going to avoid this huge mess completely.

No way I'm benching Brady (but the weather makes me nervous), but I am benching Holmes for Gado (Chatman is out) - Am I ON CRACK FOR BENCHING HOLMES?

Get em in the lineup today.

??I am in the same boat w/gb or Tb. Leaning towards GB just because Tampa doesnt seem to generate much on the turnover front. On the other hand you dont know what Stl. is going to bring

I am rolling with TB over GB today because of the following:

1. TB is at home.

2. Redman is the QB

3. TB will not be embarrassed her by the lowly falcons.

4. Bulger is playing

yeah I am in the Tampa/ Atl dilemma. TB looks tempting but I have quality D's in Indy and NYG.... tough and only have 5 more min to decide!! Hoping TB picks up some to's

I am in Defense hell. Last week I switched Viking D for TB D last second. Of course Vikings score on a pick first play. This week, against my freakin' better judgment, I went with the Vikings as Dodds constantly had them ranked 3rd overall, while TB toiled at 12 for most of the week then finally went to 9. I questioned it all week. Last week I went with my gut and got burned. This week I went against it and got torched. So pissed right now.

They are kinda help my QB/WR situation out but sure glad i got them 2 weeks ago and have them over Pitt :(
