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 Byron Leftwich Era Begins

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 […]

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 […]

The Falcons have a budding defensive star, and his name is Michael Boley.
Boley’s play was key in the Falcons victory over the Texans yesterday, and he is making a name for himself this year league-wide:
“He’s a star in the making,” said Keith Brooking, the Falcons’ five-time Pro Bowl linebacker. “He’s a very productive player. He’s […]

Hall Disciplined

The verdict is in on the discipline by the Falcons against Deangelo Hall for his tirade during the Panthers game: a $100,000 fine and possibly some bench time in the Texans game.
Despite what seemed like contrition on Monday, Hall is not happy with the decision and is appealing it with the player’s union (see this […]

Is The Harrington Era Already Over?

September 18, 2007 | 2 Comments

Not quite yet, but the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that the Falcons have signed Byron Leftwich to a 2 year, $7 million deal.  He won’t start immediately though:
For now, Leftwich will backup Harrington and No. 2 quarterback Chris Redman. He most likely won’t be activated for Sunday’s home opener vs. Carolina but that could be the last […]

Falcons Go Shopping

The Falcons have heeded my call (yeah, I’m sure they did it because of this blog) and hired a new kicker.  It’s one they’ve had before, the timeless Morten Andersen.  He is 47, or as ESPN put it, he was born in the Cretaceous Period (I think they actually said Crestacean, confusing the period with […]

Jacksonville 13, Atlanta 7

The Falcons dropped their second of the season against the Jaguars.  A glance at the score might lead one to the conclusion that it was more of the same from Week 1. 
But that really wasn’t the case.  Harrington played much better.  At times, the offense looked beautiful.  We scored our first TD of the year.  […]

Brohm To Lead Falcons Next Year?

September 12, 2007 | 1 Comment

It doesn’t say much for the Falcons Week 1 performance that rumors are getting around about what we might do with the No. 1 pick, but it is what is is I guess; check this one out about the Falcons potentially getting Brian Brohm from Louisville:
We won’t know for sure until the 2008 NFL Draft gets […]
