It’s become cliche to complain about Sunday’s game on Monday.  So I’m just gonna move straight to my new feature.
Yeah, that’s right.  After yesterday’s display, including Leftwich’s injury (looks like he’s out for the year, by the way; the return to the Harrington era will be the subject of a future post) and another late-game [...]

The Falcons return to the scene of last year’s crime the Superdome for a crucial divisional battle an epic struggle for the #2 draft pick with the Saints. 
Stick with me to see if Leftwich is our savior.
First Quarter Update: Falcons hanging; Leftwich looks ok; not magnificent, but not sucking either.  Atlanta 3, New Orleans 7.
Second [...]

I don’t think we’re quite to the point where we’re actually actively rooting for the #1 draft pick for next year, but we’re close.  For when that time comes, here’s a little preview of the race, and by preview I mean the current standings:
St. Louis Rams 0-6
Miami Dolphins 0-6
Atlanta Falcons 1-5
New York Jets 1-5
New Orleans [...]

The Byron Leftwich Era Begins

October 18, 2007 | Leave a Comment

Well, we called it prematurely a few weeks ago, but it appears that the Byron Leftwich Era is now upon us.  Harrington’s play wasn’t enough to force the move during Monday night’s game, but Petrino apparently took a step back and looked at the big picture and decided to hand the rest of the year [...]

Are you ready for some football? We are; we hope that the Falcons are too.
As the New York Times points out, the Falcons’ appearance on MNF tonight is strangely an anniversary rematch between the Falcons and the Giants; the two teams played each other exactly a year ago (on a Sunday then of course).  The [...]

Better Luck This Time, Falcons

This is what happened the last time we played on Monday Night Football.  We ran into the buzzsaw that was the Katrina-related mojo of the Saints last year. 
The Giants don’t have anything like that on their side tomorrow night, but they have won 3 games in a row.  And we’re, um, us.  We just hope [...]

It All Boils Down To The O-Line

October 9, 2007 | 2 Comments

This article in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution lays out what it perceives as the issues for the Falcons in their losses so far this season that must be addressed if there is to be any improvement. 
While I don’t necessarily agree with any of the analysis in the article, to me the theme tying all of the [...]

In a battle of teams trying to make the best of it after having a star player suspended (Vick of course for the Falcons, Pac Man for the Titans), the Falcons (1-3, 3rd NFC South) face the Tennessee Titans (2-1, 2nd AFC South) today at 1:00.
We feel good about the way the Falcons are playing [...]
