“Process” was the takeaway from the Falcons 2008 season-ending press conferences. This year, “disappointment” is making a case for the top prize.

Time to Overcome the Injuries
Head Coach Mike Smith would be surprised if his team reached Week 13 of the 2009 season without injuries.

Birdseed: November 30, 2009
One day, possibly soon, the Falcons will look back on the late-game events in Sunday’s win and look at it as a point the season turned. A simple throw and catch on a gut-wrenching, stress-inducing fourth down.
