Finishing a Playoff Picture

By J. Michael Moore | Published: December 22, 2009
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. The next two games down’t offer a chance to be much of a spoiler but they do give Atlanta a chance to post a back-to-back [...]

By J. Michael Moore | Published: December 19, 2009
Falcons fans knew Saturday night’s game between the Cowboys and Saints would play a part in playoff scenarios. Just one problem… A Cowboys victory ends the hopes for the 2009 postseason.

By J. Michael Moore | Published: December 17, 2009
We’ve reached the point in the season where more games are played on days other than Sunday. Take, for example, Thursday’s game between the Colts and Jaguars, Saturday’s game between the Saints and Cowboys (Falcons playoff implications galore) and Monday night’s game featuring the Giants and Redskins (even more Falcons playoff implications). Next week a Friday [...]

By J. Michael Moore | Published: December 15, 2009
No doubt the playoff scenario is not as rosy as it once was for the Atlanta Falcons. But, at least the road to the postseason is clearly marked and gives fans a rooting interest.

Your Week 14 Television Maps

By J. Michael Moore | Published: December 10, 2009
I have a bad habit when it comes to these NFL television distribution maps. Each week, like a child on Christmas morning, I open the links and find the games televised in Atlanta for the coming weekend. At this point I remember it doesn’t matter what games are before/after or opposite the Falcons game. I’m working. There’s [...]

Painting a Playoff Picture: Week 13

By J. Michael Moore | Published: December 1, 2009
Few times in my career has the playoff picture been so fuzzy with just five regular-season games to play. Too many teams hovering just above, at, or below .500 to make clear calls. But that doesn’t mean Falcons (6-5) fans can’t have a rooting interest in other NFC games with hopes of improving Atlanta’s chances. Here’s the [...]
