The New Orleans Saints 2025 season officially came to an end on Sunday as the team fell 19-17 to the Falcons in Atlanta to finish 6-11 on the season. Back in September there weren’t many expectations for the team who were in rebuild mode with a new head coach, offensive and defensive coordinators and a […]

Kirk Cousins is going to be playing elsewhere in 2026. I know that, you know that, he knows that, and the Falcons know that. It doesn’t have to be a messy divorce, as it would have been after he was benched in 2024, but from a performance and contract standpoint, there’s very little sense in […]
The conclusion of the Falcons’ season felt reminiscent of how it ended in 2019. Although the start of 2025 was nowhere near as painful as it was with a 1-7 start in 2019, both seasons had stretches where the organizational outlook couldn’t look more grim. A team built to compete now either found ways to […]

Early Tuesday morning, Tom Pelissero broke the news that the Atlanta Falcons have requested an interview with Chicago’s assistant general manager Ian Cunningham. Cunningham has been linked to multiple GM openings in the past, but it’s hard to imagine a better fit than the opening in Atlanta. The Falcons face an uphill battle to dig […]
Here’s a recap of the New Orleans Saints’ final game of the NFL regular season, as the black and gold sought a fifth straight win in a divisional tilt against the Atlanta Falcons.

The regulat season has finished but we’ll get to see some former Orange in the NFL Playoffs.

Because the Dolphins are out of the playoffs and the Seahawks have a bye, the Falcons can interview both right now. The tricky bit, as […]

We’re getting news already about the Atlanta Falcons lining up interviews for their head coaching vacancy, and Raheem Morris was fired less than 24 hours ago.

Well, that’s it, folks. Seventeen games. Eighteen weeks. And somehow, a season that still leaves more questions than answers.

Why […]

Atlanta’s season was already over on Sunday, but they capped off the year by moving to 2-0 against the Saints for the first time in a while, wrecked Tampa Bay’s playoff […]
The general manager of the Atlanta Falcons for the past five seasons has been canned. Terry Fontenot came in to oversee a rebuild-we-don’t-call-a-rebuild back in 2021 and was tasked with creating a sustainable winner out of the wreckage of the Dan Quinn/Thomas Dimitroff era. Instead, he’ll leave the job having overseen five straight losing seasons, […]
