Falconcast: Saints Preview
Contrary to popular belief, working out of the home office isn’t always so great.
Take three days before the biggest Falcons game of the year…
As I type, I’m laid up in the comfy office chair with some sort of illness that may or may not be mildly contagious. That said, I’m not taking any chances (who [...]

An NFC South Breakdown
Let’s take a look at the NFC South as the Falcons get ready for just their second division game of the year.
At first glance, the division-leading Saints have a relatively easy schedule the rest of the way. New Orleans has a home game next week against the Panthers, followed by road games at currently winless [...]

Moore Goes on Injured Reserve
For the second time this season the Falcons have placed a 2009 draft selection on the season-ending injured reserve list.
The team placed second-round pick William Moore (hamstring) on the list Tuesday afternoon, just more than a month after adding first-round pick Peria Jerry (knee). In all, the Falcons have four players on IR.
Moore underwent knee [...]

Vote Early, Vote Often… Just Vote!
If I had a nickel for every time I read a message board post or hear a fan comment on the “disrespect” of the Falcons in the national media I’d have about $1.20 (takes a lot of nickels to build revenue).
But that doesn’t change the fact that, when it comes to one piece of recognition, [...]

Another Monday After
Head Coach Mike Smith brought his normal stack of notes into the Monday press conference but didn’t immediately reference them.
Instead, he told a gathering of close to a dozen reporters and team staffers the thesis statement for why his Falcons lost to the Dallas Cowboys Sunday afternoon.
“We did some very uncharacteristic things yesterday,” he said. [...]

Birdseed: October 26, 2009
We all have bad days. But what about those bad days that include watching a highly-publicized defeat for your employer followed by a late-night plane ride?
Let’s just say it’s an interesting combination.
Sometimes after a tough loss, like the Falcons 37-21 day at Dallas, I find myself trying to get in the heads of players. I [...]

A Not So Subtle Reminder
Any Given Sunday won’t be the feature film on the Falcons flight back to Atlanta Sunday evening.
But it would be appropriate.
The Falcons flew to a new height in a Week 6 victory over the Chicago Bears, but just as quickly swooped back to the ground against the Cowboys Sunday in Arlington, Texas.
You can find examples [...]

So This is What a Billion Buys You…
Going to an NFL stadium on gameday is, more times than not, about the players.
Well, today, as the Falcons prepare to take on the Cowboys, I can’t help but keep some amazed eyes on the stadium itself.
Let’s start with the bus ride to Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
You catch a glimpse of this billion-dollar facility [...]
