Just thought I would bring it up, since the Falcons front office just sent out notification for playoff tickets, which is really just a way to hoodwink season ticket holders. Is it really necessary to send out ‘invoices’ before Christmas? Before we even know if there is a home game in our future? You have [...]
I was going to post this last night … and then earlier today, but just couldn’t get “into it” enough to push forward. I don’t care what anyone says about the percentages; by golly, you have to be able to get a few lousy inches … just one f’ing yard … to keep the drive [...]
Too early for must win game talk? Not if you are the Falcons, sitting at 5-3, one game back of their bitter rivals, the Saints. Not if you have already lost the tie breaker to the 5-3 Bears. Not if you are already down 0-1 to the Bucs. If the season ended today, the Falcons [...]
This one changes everything. The Falcons pulled out a well played 23-16 victory in Detroit over the Lions. Now 4-3, the Falcons go into their Bye week, with plenty of opportunity to get healthy, and to look forward to the next part of their schedule, which features some winnable games. Colts on the road; followed [...]
Tale of two halves; really a tale of two possessions. The Falcons completely dominated Green Bay during their first two possessions, shortening the game by controlling the clock, keeping Aaron Rodgers off the field, and in the process racing out to a 14-0 lead. Then things started falling apart. Instead of staying with what was [...]
It damn well better be good because so far Bosher has sucked … badly. In fact, he was so bad the other night against the Eagles, that I thought the Falcons would bench him on the spot. Of course they couldn’t (no other options); still, he was awful. Then, there is Matt Bosher, the sixth-round [...]
What a great game! This is my fourth consecutive year owning season tickets, and this victory was absolutely one of the most gratifying and exciting games to date. There have been some exciting games – last minute victories over ‘da Bears’ and Ravens, and of course really bad loses – Packers in the playoffs last [...]
I’ll give him this, Vick continues to say all the right things, which is a huge sign that he really gets ‘it’, has moved on, and is as he said more mature than he was during his tenure in ATL. Q. A former Falcon once returned to the Dome as an opposing player and called [...]
No huge surprises as the Falcons trimmed their roster down to 53 players on Sat and Sun. DE Chauncey Davis was cut on Sat; has to be a salary cap causality. Davis, 6-2, 272 pounds, was originally selected by the Falcons in the fourth round (128th overall) of the 2005 NFL Draft. He spent six [...]
Last’s nights Falcons 21-7 loss to the Ravens was an absolute disgrace. Some of the worst football ever. As the Falcons complete an 0-4 preseason campaign, you have to wonder what was the point? According to Head Coach Mike Smith, the Falcons were all about not providing season ticket holders with any sort of ROI. [...]
Hope everyone has a great holiday weekend – baseball, college football, cold blue cans of wonderment, and BBQ. In tribute to the last gasp of summer, I give you eye candy for your summer closeout viewing pleasure. Glod bless America! Me? I started the weekend festivities a little early. I was in the ATL last [...]
I know it is just preseason football, but my goodness, the Falcons do need something to hang their hat on Thursday night against the Ravens after falling 34 – 16 to the Steelers last night. For the first time this preseason, the Falcons starters ‘lost’ during their tune-up time, 24 – 16, which I guess [...]
While the Falcons lost 13 – 15, once again our first team beat the opposition. This is interesting because it may imply that the Falcons do not have enough depth. The biggest concerns for me are the lack of a rushing game and the continued short passing dink and dunk offense. Jacquizz Rodgers looked more [...]
I wonder if the Falcons are going to attempt to call in some DB help. According to Pat Yasinskas (ESPN NFC South Blog), the Falcons are keeping their fingers crossed that they can shore things up within their current roster. The other key battle is for the nickelback position. The Falcons aren’t going to take [...]
I wrote earlier today that I am firmly in the camp that believes a good pass rush will do wonders for a poor coverage secondary. So did the Falcons improve enough with their signing of DE Ray Edwards to compensate for a lackluster secondary? Nope. Not there yet. Last year the problem for Atlanta was [...]
