"Totally unacceptable," Smith said.
With Ryan and receiver Julio Jones leading the way, Atlanta leads the NFL in scoring and total offense. And, the defense has progressed since Jameis Winston had one of his best games of the season against the Falcons in the opener.

"OK, let's say that they did all that and we won. Would we care? I think we care more about the fact that we lost," McCoy said. "The yards, it is what it is. I've seen teams throw for a whole bunch of yards and lose the game. We lost the game, that's what matters. We'll fix that. ... We need to get a win."
When the Buccaneers (3-4) host the NFC South-leading Falcons (5-3) on Thursday night, McCoy intends to do everything he can to make the NFL's passing yardage leader uncomfortable.
McCoy expects the unit to rebound against Atlanta.
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — At the risk of riling some critics who insist he's too nice on the football field, Tampa Bay's Gerald McCoy concedes he has a deep admiration for Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan.
The seventh-year pro is unapologetic about saying kind things about star players or occasionally helping another team's quarterback to his feet after a sack.
"There is a little bit of pre-planning that goes into it, but I do like it. I'd like it better if it was always a home game, but honestly I do like it, playing night games and having them as division games," Quinn said. "Honestly, it's a lot of fun."

"This is our chance again to play against another great team and kind of make a statement," Winston said. "Just not really a statement, just to prove to ourselves that we are a good football team."

STOPPING THE RUN: Atlanta's defense hasn't allowed an opposing player to rush for 100 yards in 13 consecutive games. With ex-Falcon Jacquizz Rodgers sidelined by a left foot injury, Tampa Bay will line up with its fourth different starting running back — possibly Antone Smith or rookie Peyton Barber.
UNDER THE LIGHTS: The biggest drawback to playing twice in five days is the physical toll it takes on players. The Falcons and Bucs , however, welcome the opportunity to showcase their division rivalry to the rest of the nation.
"I don't think they're a lot different, scheme-wise,Wholesale Jerseys," coach Dirk Koetter said. "I think they're playing with more confidence, and you would expect that. They've won some big games."
"Matty Ice is Matty Ice.  I love the guy," said McCoy, who's been criticized at times by fans who feels he often shows too much reverence for opposing players.
Atlanta coach Dan Quinn doesn't mind the short preparation time.
"He's a nice guy, he's a great player, so what? I love football and I respect him. He's a great player and he makes you go play a lot harder,Cheap Nike Air Max 90 Online," McCoy said. "I'll shake his hand before and after the game, and during the game I'll try to kill him. ... It is what it is. We've just got to stop him. It's OK to be nice. It's OK to be a nice guy."
Ryan leads the league in both yards passing (2,636) and touchdowns (19). The Falcons, though,Cheap Jerseys From China Online, have lost three straight to the Bucs, including 31-24 in the season opener, and are hoping to tighten the division standings Thursday night.

"If a guy's here," the coach said, "he's good enough."
