Two raptors traveling in completely opposite directions meet in Mercedes Benz Stadium this coming Sunday afternoon. The Atlanta Falcons are riding a three-game winning streak, with all of the victories coming against division opponents. The Seattle Seahawks, on the other hand, are losers of three straight after starting their season 3 – 0. It’s also […]

After a very underwhelming start against the Steelers and former head coach Arthur Smith, the Falcons have won four of their last five games (and weren’t all that far away from winning all five), including the last three in a row. They are currently undefeated within their own division, sit atop the NFC South (virtue

Are these Atlanta Falcons trying to become the 21st-century version of the Kardiac Kids (the 1980 Cleveland Browns, for those whippersnappers out there who don’t get the reference)? Every single one of their games so far this season has been a one-score game. All three of their wins have been of the come-from-behind-at-the-last-moment variety. Their

This game looked awfully similar to last week against Philly in that the Falcons had an opportunity to pull out a last-second victory. Unlike last week, however, despite two opportunities to do so, Atlanta came up short and lost their second game of the season (and also their second game at home). There will certainly

By all accounts, the Falcons had no business winning this game. They hadn’t won in Philly in over a decade. Vegas had the Eagles favored by almost a touchdown. Then Philadelphia pushed Atlanta around with their run game for a drive lasting over nine minutes to take the lead and, seemingly, all the momentum. Captain

The first game of the 2024 NFL season finally saw the Atlanta Falcons trot out their starters, and to say the offensive starters looked rusty would be an understatement. The new offensive coordinator, the new system, and the $180 million new quarterback certainly disappointed, leading the Falcons to lose to the Justin Fields-led Pittsburgh Steelers

For the first time since the Atlanta Falcons were defending their NFC Champion title in 2017, there is excitement in Atlanta about pro football. A brand new coaching staff after three years of mediocrity (to be kind), a $180 million contract being given to an upper-echelon quarterback, and, most recently, the addition of two Pro

Don’t let the final of 31-0 Jacksonville Jaguars fool you – the final score *should* have been this one-sided. While the Atlanta Falcons were playing their twos and threes, Jacksonville was playing their starters. When Atlanta was playing their threes and fours, the Jags were playing their twos. Given the disparity, despite the score, watching
