Falconcast: So We Meet Again
The Chicago Cubs have the 101-year streak without a World Series championship but if you type “dubious sports streaks” into a Google search engine you’re bombarded with stories about the Atlanta Falcons.
Go ahead and try to downplay the importance of back-to-back winning seasons.
Wide receiver Roddy White, who was left off the Pro Bowl roster, declared [...]

We’ve seen triumphs and defeats before audiences large and small.
Now it’s time to make plans for one final weekend of Falcons football before [...]

Examining the Injury Report
With the final game of the season rapidly approaching, the Falcons hit the field for practice Wednesday afternoon just before a rare mix of wintery weather, mostly sleet, found its way to Flowery Branch.
Thankfully no one slipped on any ice.
That would be a frustrating addition to an already lengthy injury report that includes the team’s punter [...]

About the Whole Pro Bowl Thing…
Curtis Lofton, Roddy White and Tony Gonzalez were asked about the Pro Bowl voting Wednesday. They are the three Falcons players widely viewed as having a shot at the game.
As it turns out, all three weren’t invited.
It snaps a 10-year streak of Pro Bowl appearances for Gonzalez. It would have been the second-straight trip for White and [...]

Falcons Left Off Pro Bowl List
The votes have been counted and, baring dropouts and late additions, the Falcons will not be represented in the AFC-NFC Pro Bowl.
Rosters for the league’s annual all-star game were announced Tuesday evening. That’s when word started to spread about the snub which is sure to generate debate given the Falcons run at the playoffs in [...]

Kicker Added, More to Injured Reserve
In another sign of how injuries have rocked the 2009 season, the Falcons placed two more players on injured reserve Tuesday — just five days before the final game of the year.
Atlanta placed cornerback Chris Houston (hamstring) and guard Harvey Dahl (ankle) on the season-ending reserve list and added kicker Steve Hauschka and practice squad [...]

That’s Sure Nice of Saints Fans…
Image — and, well, pretty much the whole blog post — courtesy of The Falcoholic. Thought it appropriate and nice for Saints fans, though informally, to issue such a decree. Perhaps it has to do with the Bucs beating the Saints in Week 16 and the aspect of revenge by proxy?

Owens Up for Rookie of the Week
Rookie cornerback Christopher Owens got the first interception of his career in a 31-3 victory over the Buffalo Bills Sunday afternoon.
Now he’s up for his first award.
The 23-year-old out of San Jose State recorded three tackles and a touchdown-saving pick against the Bills, diving in front of a pass at the goal line intended for [...]

Good Start Leads to Good Finish
The Falcons had a 7-0 lead over the Buffalo Bills before many fans at the Georgia Dome made it to their seats Sunday afternoon.
Atlanta’s defense sacked quarterback Brian Brohm on its way to an early three-and-out. Buffalo punted from its end zone. Eric Weems returned the kick 17 yards and — on the next snap [...]
