Rock Bottom Roundtable: Where do the Falcons go from here?
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 […]
What to know about Falcons – Patriots in Week 9
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 […]
Falcons vs. Patriots Week 9 Injury Report: Jessie Bates III, Kyle Pitts limited on Wednesday
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 […]
Is this the end of the Raheem Morris era? Falcoholic Live, Ep352
After a second blowout loss to arguably the worst team on the Falcons schedule, have we reached the end of the Raheem Morris era?

Falcons LB JD Bertrand has struggled filling in, why?
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 […]
Falcons – Patriots Week 9 2025 Game Coverage
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 […]
Falcons hit rock bottom, Week 8 film review: Tuesday Takes with Tre’Shon
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 […]
Falcons in a tailspin, Buccaneers extend lead, in Week 8 NFC South Review
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 […]
Falcons gave us their worst against the Dolphins in this week’s 3 up and 3 down
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 […]
Falcons snap counts from a horror show against the Dolphins
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 […]
Falcons – Dolphins recap: Doom, gloom, and losing the room
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 […]
Falcons Highlight Reel vs. Miami Dolphins
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 […]
Falcons vs. Dolphins results, final score: Atlanta flounders in Week 8 loss
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, […]
Falcons vs Dolphins Week 8 postgame show: Atlanta dead in the water
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 […]
Atlanta Falcons vs. Miami Dolphins final score, results: Humiliation by marine mammal
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 […]
Atlanta Falcons injury updates: Divine Deablo to IR with broken forearm
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 […]
Atlanta Falcons vs. Miami Dolphins Week 8 open thread
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 […]
Atlanta Falcons injury updates: Drake London, Michael Penix Jr. OUT vs. Dolphins
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 […]
2025 NFL Power Rankings – Week 8
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 […]
Intriguing players to watch in Falcons vs. Dolphins
With the Atlanta Falcons set to face the Miami Dolphins in Week 8, there is plenty of intrigue involving this matchup. That interest centers on the team’s ability to protect an injured quarterback on offense and replace a major void at linebacker on defense. I’ll be naming five Falcons that figure prominently into those two […]
What if the Falcons win/lose against the Miami Dolphins in 2025
This most consistent thing about this Falcons team is that you can count on them to always be inconsistent. Following one of the most impressive wins you can get on Monday Night Football against the Buffalo Bills, their mistake-riddled performance against the completely banged up San Francisco 49ers on Sunday Night Football saw them drop […]
Falcons vs. Dolphins: A look at the series history going into 2025
The Falcons get set for a matchup against an inter-conference foe when they welcome the Miami Dolphins to the Mercedes-Benz Stadium for the first since the inaugural season of that stadium’s inception. These teams have played plenty of preseason matchups against one another over the past decade, but have just 14 regular season matchups in […]
The Falcoholic Reacts: Another wide receiver is needed
Following another frustrating offensive performance and Ray-Ray McCloud’s release, there are growing conversations about the Falcons’ lethargic aerial attack. It’s not challenging defenses as it should be, given the significant investment at quarterback and across the pass-catching unit. Failing to find a rhythm in several games against decimated or below-average defenses is problematic for a […]
Kirk Cousins expected to start against Dolphins, per ESPN
Michael Penix Jr. was hoping to play this week, and even optimistic that he might, despite suffering a bone bruise in the course of being beat up by the 49ers pass rush last weekend. Unfortunately for the young quarterback, it looks like he’s going to miss at least one week of action. Per ESPN’s Falcons […]
