Dixie Chicks Beat Vikings
September 15th, 2025
Stays on Bucs’ heels.
Dang, had the Dixie Chicks lost on Sunday night, the Bucs would have been the lone team in the NFC South with a win.
The slimy Saints (at home) and the Stinking Panthers (on the road) each lost (again) on Sunday to the 49ers and Cardinals, respectively. Both games were decided by five points.
Last night, the Dixie Chicks did a good job holding down Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy in a convincing 22-6 road win.
Former Bucs tackle Justin Skule didn’t have the greatest night trying to hold back the Dixie Chicks’ pass rush as Atlanta got McCarthy on the ground six times. Skule left the game in the second half with a concussion.
Bijan Robinson had 143 yards rushing.
So the Bucs can keep a one-game lead in the NFC South with a win over Houston tonight. If the Bucs lose, they are tied with the Dixie Chicks atop the NFC South.
The slimy Saints and Stinking Panthers are still searching for their first win of the season.

Sucks

Why do Atlanta QBs only look like primetime Show stoppers against the Bucs. Penix looked very pedestrian tonight. If not for B Rob, that team is mediocre. Bucs will back peddle to the. NFC South crown for a 5th year in a row. (Hopefully)
Go Bucs!

Rover – the answer to your question is obvious but no one likes the truth. A genius status-seeking DC whose zone blitz exotics are more predictable than the time the sun will come up tomorrow, reports to a head coach who is, in fact, himself.
QED

I thought the Falcons proved tonight they are legit, and made the Bucs’ victory in week 1 look much better. They were dominant at the line of scrimmage, played good coverage, and rammed it down the Vikings’ throat. Penix looked quick and decisive, he wasn’t asked to do much because he didn’t need to. Bucs need to take care of business against the Texans so we can maintain our lead, as I think the Falcons will challenge us even more this year than they did last year. LET’S BAKE!!!

Credit to Atl for the win, which deserves respect.
If only the Vikings had a passing game..
WE DO

Ummm we shut down the run game. That’s why the passing numbers were higher against us. Bijan had a 50 yd rec on 1st drive and then got effectively shut down. Baker had more rushing yards than all of ATL.

Lets see… the Falcons rush for well over 200 yards, and someone is saying Penix looked ‘pedestrian’ because he didn’t have a big night in a blowout.
It’s remarkable how dumb some fans are. If you think the Falcons aren’t going to be a good team, and the Bucs win the division again by just showing up, you’re an idiot.

That was one of the most boring games I’ve ever seen.
Also, you can once again see why Licht did not bring Sucke bad – man has he been terrible. Featured in back to back prime-time games, he was about as useful as a lawn chair, until he got injured and left the game. Meanwhile his backup was just about as worthless. Hard to take much from the Falcons defense as the Vikings offensive line was really, really bad – although the good news is that their safeties and corners looked, mostly, pretty bad.

Either the Falcons defense is legit (the impression i got last week) or McCarthy is bad (I wondered if last week was an overreaction thinking he’d turned the corner). Probably a combination of both. Perhaps out makeshift online was decent.
Also agree with Rod. Obviously when you run all over the other team (our run defense looks more impressive) then you don’t need to throw it much..

The Vikings offense gave the game away, Penix had multiple sacks, Falcons should of been beat, but damn the Vikings were awful on offense, not watcheable badd.

Vikings injuries killed them tonite….
Kept putting in new backups….
Their offensive line is OFFENSIVE to say the least…
Hung their defense out to dry and they couldn’t stop the run by the time the fourth quarter rolled around.

Vikings barely beat the Bears who got boat raced by a Detroit team which got boat raced by Green Bay. The ATL might have simply beaten a mediocre Viking team and they only scored one TD. So, besides Bijan, they did not have much going on offense. Their D did get 4 turnovers and 6 sacks so the Bucs OL did a much better job than the Vikings in that regard.

Reee Barrr: We do???
We should, but it sure didn’t show for many yards last week. Actually, it was weak. Yes, EE did great, ME was smothered.

cousins sitting on the bench looking across the sidelines like:
“wtf did i do?”

All three covered the spread. Falcons a much better team than Joe thought.

How in the heck did the Vikes manage to look so putrid! Surprises every single year I guess…
Go Bucs!

I guess we won’t be resting our starters anytime soon Joe.

Was watching Panthers lose, albeit with a decent game by Young. He is apparently NOT allowed to scramble. WHY would you draft a 5’10” runaround QB then tell him he can’t run? Brady ran more than that guy

As for Vikings—I refuse to believe Trask couldn’t be at least as effective than what I’ve seen of McCarthy thus far
