Falcons vs. Buccaneers Week 8 rematch open thread

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will host the Atlanta Falcons in their classic creamsicle uniforms, and it’s up to the Falcons to make them play like they so often did in their godawful heyday. The game kicks off soon.

I don’t expect this to be a cakewalk with all of Tampa Bay’s injuries, both because these two teams have real talent and real flaws and because it’s an NFC South matchup, with all the chaos that implies. I do hope the Falcons can leave Tampa with their fifth win of the season, sole possession of first place in the division, and a much-needed tiebreaker over the Buccaneers.
