+<P>\r
+ (Sports Network) - Is there anywhere better to put an end to a tumultuous week\r
+ than beautiful Tampa, Florida?\r
+ \r
+</P>\r
+<P>\r
+ Perhaps not, though the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will be trying to prolong, not\r
+ curtail, the misery of the visiting Atlanta Falcons on Sunday.\r
+ \r
+</P>\r
+<P>\r
+ The struggling Falcons began the week with a 34-14 home blowout at the hands\r
+ of the New Orleans Saints, a game that came just hours after one-time face-of-\r
+ the-franchise Michael Vick was sentenced to 23 months in federal prison for\r
+ his role in a dogfighting venture.\r
+ \r
+</P>\r
+<P>\r
+ Less than 24 hours after the pummeling at the hands of the Saints, the Falcons\r
+ were blindsided by the news that first-year head coach Bobby Petrino had\r
+ resigned with three games left in order to take the same job at the University\r
+ of Arkansas.\r
+ \r
+</P>\r
+<P>\r
+ Petrino will be replaced on an interim basis by defensive backs coach Emmitt\r
+ Thomas, who gets his first opportunity to serve as a head coach after 27\r
+ seasons spent as an assistant with the Cardinals (1981-85), Redskins\r
+ (1986-94), Eagles (1995-98), Packers (1999), Vikings (2000-01), and Falcons\r
+ (2002-Present). Thomas, who will be trying to halt Atlanta's losing streak at\r
+ four games, was a defensive coordinator with Philadelphia, Green Bay, and\r
+ Minnesota.\r
+ \r
+</P>\r
+<P>\r
+ Thomas' first head coaching assignment will be a difficult one, as his team\r
+ goes into battle against a Tampa Bay club on the verge of wrapping up its\r
+ second NFC South title in the last three years.\r
+ \r
+</P>\r
+<P>\r
+ The Buccaneers missed on an opportunity to clinch the division title when they\r
+ came out flat in a 28-14 loss at Houston last Sunday, but Jon Gruden's squad\r
+ needs just one win in its final three games, or one New Orleans loss in its\r
+ final three, to take the NFC South crown.\r
+ \r
+</P>\r
+<P>\r
+ Tampa Bay (8-5) begins Week 15 ranked fourth in the NFL hierarchy behind\r
+ Dallas (12-1), Green Bay (11-2), and Seattle (9-4).\r
+ \r
+</P>\r
+ \r
+<P>\r
+ SERIES HISTORY\r
+ \r
+</P>\r
+<P>\r
+ Tampa Bay holds a 16-12 edge in its all-time series with Atlanta, including a\r
+ 31-7 win at the Georgia Dome when the teams met in Week 11. The Falcons swept\r
+ the home-and-home last season, scoring a 14-3 home win in Week 2, and claiming\r
+ a 17-6 decision in the return matchup at Raymond James Stadium in Week 14.\r
+ The Bucs scored a home-and-home sweep of the Falcons in 2005.\r
+ \r
+</P>\r
+<P>\r
+ Gruden has a career mark of 8-4 against the Falcons, including a win while\r
+ with the Oakland Raiders in 2000. Thomas, who served on the Philadelphia\r
+ Eagles staff with Gruden from 1995 through 1997, will, as mentioned, be acting\r
+ as a head coach for the first time since breaking in as an assistant with the\r
+ St. Louis Cardinals in 1981.\r
+ \r
+</P>\r
+ \r
+<P>\r
+ WHEN THE FALCONS HAVE THE BALL\r
+ \r
+</P>\r
+<P>\r
+ With Petrino no longer calling the shots, and Thomas having made his career on\r
+ the defensive side of the ball, the Atlanta offense figures to be in the sole\r
+ control of coordinator Hue Jackson on Sunday. Jackson's unit ranks 24th in the\r
+ league in total offense (301.1 yards per game), including 16th in passing\r
+ (209.7 yards per game) and 26th in rushing (91.4 yards per game). Chris Redman\r
+ (479 passing yards, 4 TD, 2 INT) will get his second straight start behind\r
+ center, after completing 23-of-40 passes for 298 yards, two touchdowns, and an\r
+ interception in the New Orleans loss. Wideouts Roddy White (65 receptions, 5\r
+ TD) and Michael Jenkins (51 receptions, 4 TD) both caught TDs in the defeat,\r
+ with Jenkins' nine catches for 83 yards both pacing the team. White needs five\r
+ more receiving yards to become Atlanta's first 1,000-yard receiver since\r
+ Terance Mathis in 1999. Warrick Dunn (603 rushing yards, 3 TD, 33 receptions)\r
+ and Jerious Norwood (463 rushing yards, 1 TD, 25 receptions) once again figure\r
+ to share carries in the running game. An injury-depleted Falcons line has\r
+ allowed 42 sacks on the year, fourth-most in the league.\r
+ \r
+</P>\r
+<P>\r
+ The Tampa Bay defense ranks third overall (298.2 yards per game) in the NFL\r
+ but comes off an overall rough day in Houston, one in which it allowed Texans\r
+ backup QB Sage Rosenfels to throw three touchdown passes and complete 27-of-36\r
+ pass attempts for 209 yards. A secondary that had been an overall team\r
+ strength all year behind the work of cornerback Ronde Barber (57 tackles, 1\r
+ sack, 1 INT) and safety Jermaine Phillips (76 tackles, 3 INT, 1 sack) will be\r
+ seeking a bounce-back effort against the Falcons. That group will need help\r
+ from a pass rushing group led recently by emerging first-year end Greg White\r
+ (23 tackles). The 28-year-old former Arena League star finished with three\r
+ sacks, two forced fumbles, five tackles, and a pass deflection in the loss to\r
+ Houston, a team that drafted him in 2002 before cutting him. Despite working\r
+ in a situational role, White leads Tampa Bay with 8.5 sacks on the year, and\r
+ has six sacks and six forced fumbles in his last four games combined. The\r
+ Buccaneers are 15th in the league against the run (103.3 yards per game), with\r
+ linebackers Barrett Ruud (100 tackles, 2 INT) and Derrick Brooks (101 tackles)\r
+ ranking as the team's best ground stoppers this season.\r
+ \r
+</P>\r
+ \r
+<P>\r
+ WHEN THE BUCCANEERS HAVE THE BALL\r
+ \r
+</P>\r
+<P>\r
+ After playing the better part of three games without starting quarterback Jeff\r
+ Garcia (2135 passing yards, 11 TD, 3 INT) in the lineup, the crafty veteran is\r
+ slated to make his return from a back injury this week. Tampa Bay went 1-1 in\r
+ games started by backup Luke McCown (588 passing yards, 2 TD, 1 INT), who\r
+ threw for 266 yards in last week's loss to Houston but was also sacked four\r
+ times and lost a key fumble that set up the Texans' final touchdown. A bigger\r
+ injury concern for the Bucs entering Sunday's contest concerns wideout Ike\r
+ Hilliard (58 receptions, 1 TD), who leads Tampa Bay in receptions and left the\r
+ Houston game with what was termed an upper back injury. Hilliard is considered\r
+ questionable, and will likely be replaced by Michael Clayton (10 receptions)\r
+ if he can't go. Joey Galloway (55 receptions, 6 TD), who is 22 yards shy of\r
+ going over 1,000 yards for the third straight year, will continue to serve as\r
+ the Bucs' deep threat. Running back Earnest Graham (798 rushing yards, 9 TD,\r
+ 42 receptions) scored both Tampa TDs last week but was otherwise quiet on a\r
+ day in which he carried 15 times for 61 yards. The Buccaneers are just 19th in\r
+ the league in total offense (323.6 yards per game), but have thrown an NFL-low\r
+ five interceptions on the season.\r
+ \r
+</P>\r
+<P>\r
+ The Falcons have had their struggles against both the run and the pass this\r
+ season, problems that were both in evidence in Monday's loss to the Saints.\r
+ Atlanta surrendered 100 ground yards on 20 carries to one-time New Orleans\r
+ third-string running back Aaron Stecker, marking the first 100-yard\r
+ performance by a Saints back this year. The Falcons also had little clue\r
+ against the New Orleans passing attack, allowing Drew Brees to throw for 328\r
+ yards and three touchdowns without a sack, while wideouts Marques Colston and\r
+ David Patten combined for 18 catches and 214 yards through the air.\r
+ Cornerbacks DeAngelo Hall (54 tackles, 4 INT) and Chris Houston (47 tackles)\r
+ will have to be much better against Galloway and company than they were on\r
+ Monday night. A run defense that ranks just 27th in the league (123.7 yards\r
+ per game) has received its biggest contributions this year from the\r
+ linebacking corps of Keith Brooking (82 tackles, 2 sacks) in the middle and\r
+ Michael Boley (101 tackles, 3 sacks, 2 INT) and Demorrio Williams (60 tackles,\r
+ 2 INT) on the flanks. Williams had a team-high eight tackles against the\r
+ Saints.\r
+ \r
+</P>\r
+ \r
+<P>\r
+ FANTASY FOCUS\r
+ \r
+</P>\r
+<P>\r
+ Redman put up a nice passing total against the Saints, but remember that the\r
+ Tampa Bay defense is much stronger than that of New Orleans. If the former\r
+ Louisville product throws for 200 yards this week, it will be an\r
+ accomplishment. Roddy White remains a solid start at the receiver position,\r
+ and Alge Crumpler always has potential as a tight end, but don't risk your\r
+ fantasy playoff chances by using any other Falcons.\r
+ \r
+</P>\r
+<P>\r
+ On the Tampa Bay side, Galloway and Graham are must-starts against the Atlanta\r
+ defense, and Garcia, though probably rusty coming off the injury, is worth\r
+ considering due to his lack of mistakes. The Buccaneer defense doesn't force a\r
+ ton of turnovers, but has the ability to put strong sack numbers up against\r
+ the Falcons.\r
+ \r
+</P>\r
+ \r
+<P>\r
+ OVERALL ANALYSIS\r
+ \r
+</P>\r
+<P>\r
+ Coming off an emotional and important win in New Orleans the week before, the\r
+ Buccaneers' flat effort against a desperate Texans team in Houston last Sunday\r
+ wasn't a huge surprise. Now back home with their starting quarterback in tow,\r
+ look for the Buccaneers to get back to the business of playing solid football\r
+ this week. Atlanta might come out fired up for a quarter or so given the\r
+ circumstances of a difficult week, but once things start going poorly for\r
+ this less-than-talented team, they'll begin packing it in.\r
+ \r
+</P>\r
+ \r
+<P>\r
+ Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Buccaneers 27, Falcons 7\r

+ defense, and Garcia, though probably rusty coming off the injury, is worth\r
+ considering due to his lack of mistakes. The Buccaneer defense doesn't force a\r
+ ton of turnovers, but has the ability to put strong sack numbers up against\r
+ the Falcons.\r

+ OVERALL ANALYSIS\r

+</P>\r
+<P>\r
+ Coming off an emotional and important win in New Orleans the week before, the\r
+ Buccaneers' flat effort against a desperate Texans team in Houston last Sunday\r
+ wasn't a huge surprise. Now back home with their starting quarterback in tow,\r
+ look for the Buccaneers to get back to the business of playing solid football\r
+ this week. Atlanta might come out fired up for a quarter or so given the\r
+ circumstances of a difficult week, but once things start going poorly for\r
+ this less-than-talented team, they'll begin packing it in.\r
