Finishing a Playoff Picture
The Falcons (7-7) were eliminated from playoff contention with the Cowboys upset win over the Saints Saturday night. The team responded with a character-filled victory over the playoff-hopeful New York Jets.

Painting a Playoff Picture: Week 13

Week 9 Television Notes
It seems like a month since the Falcons last played in the Georgia Dome. In fact, the span between an Oct. 18 victory over the Chicago Bears and Sunday’s game against the Redskins is exactly 21 days.
And the road games between weren’t too kind to the Falcons.

Birdseed: September 4, 2009
The season opener is just nine days away, but this isn’t necessarily a happy time for the Falcons family.
With a new year comes a new, 53-man roster. It doesn’t take a mathematician to realize, with 73 players in the locker room, changes are ahead.

The rookie worked with the first-string defense, leading a front seven that was stout against the Ravens run game.
