Falcons LT Sam Baker (knee, foot) remained sidelined at Wednesday's practice.

Baker missed Week 3 against the Dolphins. Lamar Holmes moved over from right tackle to Matt Ryan's blindside. He was absolutely steamrolled, giving up seven hurries and one quarterback hit while grading out as Pro Football Focus' worst Week 3 tackle. Jeremy Trueblood filled in admirably at right tackle

Chandler Jones should have 2 sacks sunday

I actually expect all three teams (sorry Jags) to be 3-1 after next week, which means I am picking you guys to beat the Seahawks. Please let me be wrong, but they're not a good road team, and I think the Texans matchup well against them.

The problem with the Texans winning that game (aside from it hurting the Titans) is the insane love the Texans will start to get from the media. They've already been ESPN's favorite team the past few years. I even remember when you guys started 2-1 in 2010, ESPN was claiming the Texans were the best team in the league and Super Bowl contenders. 4 wins and 9 losses later, they felt stupid - as they always do when their predictions are never right.

If you guys beat the Seahawks... The Texans will move up to #2 on the power rankings behind only the Broncos, and everyone will start picking them to go all the way. Overreaction Monday!

As a Texans fan, I am nervous. Titans and Colts playing great and Our offense can't seem to get going. The divisional games will sure be tough all season long.

The media is always trying to pick a team to push. I love to see my team get some attention but then that makes it all the worse when we lose. Because then when we lose, everybody screams that we are a fluke. It doesn't help that these last 2 years when we lose, we lose BIG!!! We have not lost a game by a single score during that time.

I do worry about my Texans this week at home against Seattle and on the road next week at San Francisco. The good thing is like you said, Seattle is not a good road team. But if we lose these next 2 games we will be 2-3 and the fans will be screaming for heads. I don't want to hear that because the fans already go crazy after just one loss. Oh well, at least that means I would have fewer friends begging for tickets. LOL

Just because one team doesn't have any...doesn't mean the next team won't. MIA had plenty of pressure but ryan didn't take the sacks.

ATL needs this game much much more then the pats which is why I am thinking ATL wins this one. They cannot go down 1-3 as that's a pretty big hole to dig out of early especially with the saints in the division as I expect them to blow the doors off of MIa.

Hopefully the pats pull it off. Having Gronk back will be nice.

Of course you do, or at least you hope.

I know it doesn't, but Miami has a better D-line (on passing situations) than the Pats. Atlanta has build an entire game plan around having dump off guys they can get the ball to when needed.

I FULLY expect the Cowboys to roll the Chargers and be 3-1 heading into their home showdown with the 4-0 Broncos next week.

If ATL loses to the pats and the Saints win..ATL is in big trouble. Why I think this is a critical for them to win sunday night. I would hope to see a better game from Atlanta this week then the MIA game. But with their injuries who knows. I would rather play a team at full strength even if the chances of losing are higher.

I am just happy gronk will be back and hopefully Amendola will be back for the cincy game. Should be a close game.

My co worker is a cowboys fan. Like he always say...the cowboys can beat any team..or lose to any team on any given week. It's like one giant roller coaster

Tampa Bay games likely won't be blacked out anymore. The Bucs decided to drop the threshold to the minimum 85% allowed by the NFL.

http://deadspin.com/good-news-for-bu...-bl-1403001977

"Sorry our franchise quarterback turned out to be a bust. But we'll make sure you don't miss a minute of the Mike Glennon experience."

The Buccaneers just announced that the team's seven remaining home games will be aired on a television, a change from the common blackouts of the last three season—19 of the 24 home dates weren't televised. The wording is vague—"projected," "ensured," "committed"—but this doesn't mean those games are sold out. It just means the team itself will likely have to purchase the remaining tickets necessary to reach the blackout threshold.

“In appreciation for the loyal support of our fans throughout the Tampa Bay area, we have committed to televise the remaining seven home games of the 2013 season,” Buccaneers co-chairman Bryan Glazer said.

Years ago that would have meant buying every single ticket left, but a new rule instituted last year, in the face of declining leaguewide attendance, allows teams to set their own thresholds, as low as 85 percent capacity. The Bucs set theirs at precisely 85 percent.

So for each remaining game, Tampa will make up the difference when necessary, buying tickets at one-third of face value. But setting their threshold so low could backfire: if a team exceeds their self-imposed threshold—if the Bucs ever sell more than 85 percent of seats—they'll have to share more of the additional revenue.

Jax is now offering 2 free beers with each ticket bought. They are struggling bad. Just move them to LA and call it a day

This is the type of game where the Cowboys love to just choke badly and find a way to lose.

I fully expect them to find a way to be 2-2.

The Cowboys are so weird I could see them beating the Broncos one week and then losing to Minnesota in a different week.

Yes... it's the fans and not the terrible team they're being offered.
