Falcons vs. Buccaneers Week 17 open thread and key info

The season finale is here. The majority of Falcons fans probably were feeling more dour than usual coming into this season, but even the .500 or below crew probably didn’t see the Falcons struggling to come out of this season with 5 wins. If you did, congratulations, as you probably saved a great deal on blood pressure medication and Tums.

Today brings Atlanta up against a Tampa Bay team missing two of their top defenders but still gunning for the #5 seed in the NFC, meaning they have plenty to play for. They won’t be resting starters, while the Falcons will be without Julio Jones and Alex Mack, among others.
