It takes a village to replace Divine Deablo, apparently. Falcons defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich made that clear on Wednesday in remarks to media, when he said a mix of linebackers and defensive backs will be deployed to fill his role. Part of that is owing to Deablo, a converted safety, having a mix of linebacker […]
By pretty much any metric you’d choose, the Chicago Cubs had a top five-ish offense this year in Major League Baseball, even as they suffered through significant dips at times throughout the season. It’s unsurprising, then, that the Cubs are pretty well represented on the list of National League Silver Slugger finalists this year. From MLB.com : First base: Pete Alonso, New York Mets; Freddie Freeman, Los Angeles Dodgers; Matt Olson, Atlanta Braves Second base: Nico Hoerner, C...
The San Francisco 49ers stand at 5-2 after a 20-10 victory over the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday Night Football, moving them to the No. 2 seed in the NFC. That came without star linebacker Fred Warner, who suffered a season-ending injury in San Francisco’s 30-19 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but the defense still […]
A week after I asked whether the NFC South is good, everyone outside the Panthers lost — troubling. The Buccaneers ran out of magic, and the Falcons continue to yo-yo, while the Saints continue on their downward trajectory. Here’s the Week 7 NFC South Review: Tampa Bay Buccaneers (5-2) Week 7 Result: Buccaneers 9 – […]

The Atlanta Falcons disapointed in primetime, but we still saw performances that give us hope the team can get back on track. We also saw some that will keep them off the track if they can’t adjust in time. Here’s the Week 7 3 up and 3 down. 3 up Jake Matthews 184 consecutive starts […]

After a promising rookie season as the No. 1 overall pick, Zaccharie Risacher came into his second year looking bigger, stronger, and (maybe) taller. He also came back with a new hairstyle. Nonetheless, Risacher showed a lot of things to be excited for last season. He wasn’t the typical No. 1 pick who had a […]
That loss to the 49ers was a tough one, but as many sober-minded observers have pointed out, the Falcons being at 3-3 with their early season schedule is hardly a disaster. Now they have to win a bunch of games they’re supposed to win to make that start mean anything. That begins with the Miami […]
Why 49ers coaching is NFL’s best this year, and Bears running wild: Week 7 film review (paywall)“The 49ers staff was on top of breaking its own tendencies and staying on top of the Falcons’ tendencies.

The San Francisco 49ers got back in the win column with a convincing win over the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday Night Football, following their win over the Buffalo Bills last Monday night. For the first time in 2025, the 49ers offense resembled the physical team from years past, and the running game got on track. […]
The Atlanta Falcons have cut Ray-Ray McCloud, per the team. This concludes a brief and deeply confusing saga that saw McCloud go from a 2024 career year to light involvement in the offense early in 2025 to not suiting up for the team the past two weeks. Now he’ll be looking for a new home. […]
Sunday night’s 20-10 win over the Atlanta Falcons for the San Francisco 49ers was a masterclass performance from both Kyle Shanahan and Robert Saleh. With both sides of the ball dealing with plenty of injuries, the 49ers put together their best performance of the 2025 season thanks to a solid game plan from Shanahan and […]
Injuries have been ramping up for the San Francisco 49ers, who found a way to improve to 5-2 on Sunday with a 20-10 win over the Atlanta Falcons.

Nola appeared in 345 MLB games with the Padres and Mariners from 2019-2023, posting some very solid numbers at the plate before his production tailed off…
So, apparently, you can push the ball carrier forward, but you cannot pull them. In my decade of doing this, I was unaware this was even a rule until Sunday night when the 49ers solidified their 20-10 win over the Atlanta Falcons. If you push (READ: The Tush-Push), it’s fine—at least through 2025. If you […]
Well, the 49ers beat the Atlanta Falcons. This was a not just a pallet cleanser for that ho-hum showing against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but it also gave some legitimacy to the 2025 49ers. They were able to hold one of the better offenses in the NFL (well, at this point, anyways) to 10 points, […]
The Falcons lost a winnable game to the 49ers in Week 7, and coaching issues were at the forefront of the defeat. Kevin Knight and Tre’Shon Diaz break down the film from Sunday Night Football, discussing the mistakes by Raheem Morris and Zac Robinson, the down game from Michael Penix, the injury to Divine Deablo, […]
