2012 NFCDG – Falcons beat Seahawks?

Finally… the monkey is off the collective backs of Matt Ryan and Mike Smith with a strong win over arguably the hottest team in the NFC in the Seattle Seahawks. As the Falcons prepare for the upcoming game against the San Francisco 49ers though, I have more questions about this win than answers. More on […]

NFL Week 10 Preview – Falcons March into Superdome to take on Saints

Well it’s finally here, the game I’ve been waiting for since Week 1, but it doesn’t have quite the feel I expected. I figured for a nasty showdown for NFC South supremacy but this is looking more like a desperation game for the Saints. At 3-5 and with a porous defense, the Saints look ripe […]

NFL 2012 Week 9 Preview – Cowboys a potential trap game for Falcons

What a difference a week makes huh? Just 2 weeks ago it looked like the Falcons were falling back to earth and perhaps being exposed for being the biggest frauds in the NFL outside of Arizona. After completely outcoaching, outplaying and destroying the Philadelphia Eagles on the road in Week 8, the Falcons now prepare […]

NFL 2012 Week 8 Recap – Falcons Trample Eagles

I previewed this game and thought the Falcons would lose a close and physical battle to suffer their first setback of the NFL season. After all, an impending hurricane, a dome team on the road with a leaky run defense and facing an coach that was undefeated coming off the bye week, all pointed to […]

NFL 2012 Week 8 Preview – Desperate and Dangerous Eagles Await

Coming off the bye, the Falcons have several question marks surrounding the team from running game to run defense and offensive line. So they figure to be prepared coming into Philadelphia to take on the pesky Eagles. Problem is, the Eagles are coming off their bye as well, and with a sparkling 13-0 record after the […]

NFL Week 4 : Matt Ryan, Jay Cutler and the F Bomb.

Is Matt Ryan elite? I’ve argued this point ad nauseum, and almost to the point of trading blows because the term “elite” is thrown about so liberally when it comes to the quarterback position. The thinking that Ryan is overrated is based largely on the Falcon’s winless record in the postseason, and the fact the offense’s focal […]

Atlanta Falcons on HBO ‘Hard Knocks’ – No Thanks

A recent article from ESPN’s Pat Yasinskas, revealed that the Atlanta Falcons have appeared to be a top choice for this year’s “Hard Knocks” television series from HBO. While I understand Arthur Blank is a shrewd businessman, and that the televison series would give the Falcons and the city of Atlanta a significant boost from a national […]

2011 Atlanta Falcons – One and Done… again

It’s been 4 days since my Falcons were pulverized by the New York Giants, and it’s taken that long for me to collect my thoughts in a coherent fashion. It’s one thing for me to go off half-cocked but I like my ability to be subjective about the subject matter so it’s taken me a […]
