Falcons News, Analysis & Tomfoolery For and By Fans
Let’s face it, there hasn’t been much to cheer about with the Atlanta Falcons in almost a decade. We’ve had seven straight seasons of missing the playoffs, and the way this season is going, that number may extend to eight. It seems like the team is always competitive in the division up until mid season […]

It’s Thursday as we move right along with practices in Week 9. On Wednesday, we got a first look at the health of both teams, with the Falcons having several notables banged up. On Thursday we got an update, which was somewhat positive. Let’s take a look. Falcons injury report, Thursday, Oct. 30 Full • […]
There’s been a feeling of the Falcons hitting rock bottom continually since 2019. It started with a 1-7 start that season, followed by losing the first five games in 2020, leading to the firings of Dan Quinn and Thomas Dimitroff. While 2021 was a rebuilding year, the season opener at home against Philadelphia ended in […]

The Atlanta Falcons had their chance to climb over .500 and build some momentum heading into a tough matchup on the road against the New England Patriots, and they blew it. Now this game comes with added pressure on Atlanta at a time where they can’t even seem to handle the baseline pressure of preparing […]
Week 9 is here, and it’s now officially the start of a new week. The Atlanta Falcons are looking to move on from their most recent, embarrassing loss to the Miami Dolphins in Week 8. The team is dealing with some injuries, but they will need folks back if they hope to get back on […]
After a second blowout loss to arguably the worst team on the Falcons schedule, have we reached the end of the Raheem Morris era? Kevin Knight and Adnan Ikic discuss the slim remaining chances for a playoff run, how likely the Falcons are to move on from Raheem Morris, if Terry Fontenot is safe, and […]

During the Atlanta Falcons two-game losing streak, one player has garnered attention for all the wrong reasons. JD Bertrand looks like he doesn’t belong out there, and given that the committee Jeff Ulbrich discussed hasn’t materialized, that’s been a major problem for the defense. The Falcons have talked up Bertrand’s ability and effort in the […]
Two losses in a row, one somewhat defensible and the other indefensible, have put the Falcons back under .500 and on their heels. That’s bad news with the toughest remaining schedule stretch approaching. That starts with the New England Patriots, who the Falcons will travel to see on Sunday. Few teams are as hot as […]
The Falcons hit rock bottom in a blowout loss to the Dolphins in Week 8. Kevin Knight and Tre’Shon Diaz break down the film, discussing systematic issues with the offense, questions about Raheem Morris’ leadership, and trying to figure out why Jeff Ulbrich has so much faith in JD Bertrand. Fellow Falcoholics, welcome to another […]
The regular season is nearly halfway over, and teams will start being eliminated from playoff contention by the end of next month. Tampa Bay is in position to make a playoff push and maintains a comfortable lead over the division. The rest of the South suffered a loss, and none seem like playoff contenders. Here […]
The Atlanta Falcons have let one loss turn into two and are on the verge of letting that turn into four if they can’t get it right quick. There were still a few positives to take away, but not many in the second blowout of the year. Here’s the week 8 3 up and 3 […]
We don’t really want to think about that game again, possibly ever, but we gotta get these snap counts off. Offense Kirk Cousins: 50 Jake Matthews: 50 Matthew Bergeron: 50 Ryan Neuzil: 50 Chris Lindstrom: 50 Elijah Wilkinson: 50 Kyle Pitts: 46 Darnell Mooney: 45 David Sills V: 45 KhaDarel Hodge: 33 Bijan Robinson: 30 […]
Everything we thought the Falcons would be good at this year and everything they have actually been good at this year was absent Sunday, the latest in a growing series of deeply disappointing 2025 performances. Atlanta has now lost in brutal, demoralizing fashion twice against two teams that are among the bottom third of the […]
The Falcons had the chance to make a statement, and they made a statement. It just wasn’t the one we expected or wanted. That means the highlights are limited, but I did my best. Dee Alford sack forces a three-and-out The Miami Dolphins got absolutely nothing going on their first drive. After two attempts to […]
The Atlanta Falcons have lost two games in a row and are now below .500 at 3-4. It was a pathetic performance for the home team fans, and many are wondering how the team will respond. Here are the Week 8 snap reactions. JD Bertrand is not a starter or substitution-quality linebacker Earlier this week, […]
The Falcons were dominated by the 1-6 Dolphins to the tune of 34-10 in Week 8. Kevin Knight is joined by Allen Strk to discuss the moribund state of Atlanta, the eventual end of the Raheem Morris era, offensive failings centered around Zac Robinson, and a strange obsession with JD Bertrand. Fellow Falcoholics, welcome to […]
I said repeatedly this week that this was a game the Falcons couldn’t afford to lose. That had very little to do with big picture standings and upcoming schedules, though obviously those mattered to, and much more to do with how bad the Dolphins had looked thus far in 2025. If they got right against […]
In absolutely terrible news, the Falcons announced on Sunday with the release of the inactive players list that LB Divine Deablo has been placed on injured reserve with the forearm injury he suffered in Atlanta’s Week 7 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. That loss was frustrating, but for me, the most upsetting part was […]
It’s nearly time. Kirk Cousins is under center, the Atlanta Falcons are seeking their fourth win at home, and the shaky Miami Dolphins are coming to town. The Falcons need to rebound from that ugly 49ers loss with some urgency, because as hapless as the Dolphins are, the Falcons have yet to beat the rap […]
Theoretically, Sunday’s game against the Dolphins should have been a win for the Falcons. The Dolphins are in shambles. They’ve lost to every team they’ve played except the still-winless-in-Week-8 Jets. But as we know all too well as Falcons fans, it’s any given Sunday in this league. And the Falcons’ inactive players for Sunday’s tilt […]
Another week of wild finishes leaves us no closer to figuring out the NFL. And eight weeks in, I wouldn’t have it any other way. Any Given Sunday isn’t just a movie starring Al Pacino and Jamie Foxx; it’s the perfect description of what we’re seeing every week. The league is a topsy-turvy showcase of […]
