A few highlights from the Eagles’ 2009 schedule with Michael Vick on board -
Roger Goodell will make a decision about Michael Vick’s suspension ending by week 6.  Ironically, the Eagles play their only Monday Night game of the year in week 7 against the Redskins.  So Vick’s first game could be in the Nation’s Capitol [...]

Jamaal Anderson Proving The Critics Wrong
Anderson is a borderline bust at this point, being a top-10 pick in 2007 and having a less-than-stellar first 2 years in the NFL.  He improved quite a bit in 2008, especially against the run and has a chance to play a lot better in 2009.  Some yelled for him [...]

2009 Vegas Betting Line For Atlanta Falcons

July 15, 2009 | Leave a Comment

The Vegas line for 2009 season wins has been set for the NFL recently.  These are the guys that make millions on sports betting - these guys are good at setting these lines.  My first observation was that a ton of teams, especially in the NFC, were between 7-9 wins for the over/under.  That’s basically [...]

June 29, 2009 | Leave a Comment

Following a playoff appearance, the Falcons are averaging 5.9 wins in their next campaign.  Their best showing coming in 2005 when they were in good shape, but floundered to an 8-8 season in December. 
The Falcons’ scoring of 24 points in the playoff loss to Arizona in 2009 was their highest output in a post-season loss [...]

Positive Aspects of Atlanta Falcons’ 2009 Schedule

Not only do the Atlanta Falcons get to start out with two home games in 2009, they get to play New England on the road when the weather is nice…in September.  You can’t believe the difference between playing early in the season as opposed to in New England, in the months of November and December, [...]

Atlanta Falcons 2009 Schedule - December

April 15, 2009 | Leave a Comment

Atlanta opens December with a visit from the Eagles.  They have been a bit of a nemisis for the Falcons over the past few years.  Atlanta was ousted a few times from the playoffs since 2000 by Philadelphia.  Atlanta won the last time the teams played in Georgia, a 14-10 game that was the opening [...]

Atlanta Falcons 2009 Schedule - November

The Falcons have 5 games in November with their bye week securely behind them.
Atlanta travels to New Orleans for a Monday Night Football battle with the Saints.  It seems to be a yearly tradition and one of the few games to get on Monday night.  I was hoping for New England, Dallas, Carolina or New [...]

April 15, 2009 | Leave a Comment

Atlanta has their bye week early in 2009, the first week of October, before a difficult stretch in October.
Their first game is traveling cross country to San Francisco to play a young 49ers team.  The west coast was kind to Atlanta in 2008 with wins against San Diego and Oakland on road trips.
The following week, [...]

Atlanta Falcons 2009 Schedule - September

A late start to the 2009 NFL season has just 3 games for Atlanta in the month of September.
The Falcons open at home against Miami.  The Dolphins were another one of the big surprises in 2008, matching Atlanta’s 11-5 mark and a playoff berth.  Certainly not one of the primetime matchups in week 1, but [...]

Longer NFL Season Coming Soon?

Posted by falcons

March 26, 2009 | Leave a Comment

Roger Goodell is proposing a new NFL schedule in the coming years…less preseason and more regular season games.  What’s not to like from a fan perspective?  Diehards look forward to the preseason with passion because we haven’t seen our teams in uniform for months and even if most of the game is filled with guys [...]
