Funny thing about these Falcons, at 10-2 they control their own destiny to have the NFC come to the Dome. Super Bowl bound? First they have to make the playoffs. The Falcons must beat the Carolina Panthers and have any two of the Giants (8-4), Philadelphia Eagles (8-4) and Green Bay Packers lose (8-4). A [...]
No wonder this year’s edition of the Atlanta Falcons are keeping me on the edge of my seat; their propensity for late game heroics keeps putting gray hair on my poor old chin. According to the ESPN NFC South Blog … They’ve had six games where they have either trailed or been tied in the [...]
I picked this one up via ESPN; where is the respect for the Falcons? Tomorrow’s game at Tampa Bay is a game with huge playoff implications for both teams, the NFC South, and of course any teams in the NFC scrambling for a Wild Card sport. It looks like most of the country will not [...]
I should have ended the title with a period instead of a question mark. ESPN NFC South blogger Pat Yasinskas named Matt Ryan his NFC South High Energy Player of the Week after the Falcons’ 20-17 victory over the Packers last Sunday. All Ryan did was complete 24-28 passes, and led the Falcons to a [...]
What an amazing comeback by the Atlanta Braves; 5-4 over the Giants in 11 innings thanks to a blast by unlikely hero Rick Ankiel. This season has been magical thanks to the unsung heroics by a rag-tag list of unknowns and in the case of Ankiel, has-beens. I’ll be honest; I stopped watching in the [...]
Who dat? Who dat? The Falcons just kicked the Saints in the teeth. Except for a couple of niggles here and there, Atlanta just had a brilliant overtime victory on the road in the Super Dome. More to come later, but the bottom line is that going into my tailgate next weekend as the Falcons [...]
Cold ones. Adult Beverages. Nectar of the gods. You, know, beer. I am not sure where this tailgating beer article is coming from, but as is often the case, the comments are f’ing hilarious. Certainly more entertaining that reading about the beers that are not available in these parts. I have not decided on my [...]
Little Bobby returns to Georgia for the first time today since tucking his tail between his legs and heading out to the Ozarks. Has it really been three years? Whatever; the wanker did Falcons fans a favor by getting out of ATL. Look it up. Bobby Petrino = Wanker … Even if Little Bobby’s Hogs [...]
What a disappointing loss; 15-9 in OT. Earlier this morning I was in high spirits because I could not imagine the Falcons not being able to run, Matt Ryan not being able to make plays when it counted most, and the “improved” defense falling to an inexperienced third-string QB. I am too bitter right now [...]
I will have to get my arms around these predictions over the long weekend, after all the final roster moves are made. In their team-by-team previews, ESPN has the Falcons taking the NFC South (3 experts predicted 1st, while 2 predicted 2nd). I am just not sure that the Saints have done anything to show [...]
Was the Falcons 28-10 home loss at the hands of the Patriots an aberration, or a sign of things to come when the Falcons play top notch talent? It is only preseason, but … Falcons were a mess on run defense. How can tackle old legs Fred Taylor after getting him bottled up at the [...]
The first preseason game of the year, played out to a Falcons win, but for the most part was tearfully boring, which is typically of meaningless games. I think that going into these preseason games, for the most part the rosters are set except for fringe players looking to fill out special teams, possibly backup [...]
I’m heading up to ATL tonight to watch the Falcons’ first preseason game of the year. I know it is preseason … but I am ready for the season to get underway. No one gets hurt. Ryan leads the Falcons on a productive TD-scoring drive in his first possession. The defense holds up their end [...]
Are the Atlanta Falcons Super Bowl contenders? Jeff Schultz of the ajc thinks the Falcons are one of the Top 5 candidates to represent the NFC. I know what you’re thinking: a little high. (The team, not me.) But no (to both). First of all, I think you can rank these five teams in almost [...]
I received my Falcons season tickets early this week. Needless to say I am pumped, excited, and ready for some Falcons football! This is a great time of year; training camp is in full swing for the Falcons and the Dawgs will be starting their fall campaign this Monday. This year I am moving over [...]
