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.

Don’t let the final of 31-0 Jacksonville Jaguars fool you – the final score *should* have been this one-sided.

Given the disparity, despite the score, watching

It would appear that Raheem Morris and his staff have settled on quite a bit of the final 53-man roster already. The Falcons sat 40 players against the Ravens this past Saturday, almost all of them either projected starters or highly valued reserves (the recently acquired Matt Judon sat because he hadn’t practiced with the

In the heart of Atlanta in Week 6, the Falcons faced off against the Washington Commanders, and the clash of titans had fans at the edge of their seats.
