Falconcast: A Season Recap

By J. Michael Moore | Published: January 6, 2010
It’s hard to say good bye to a season that started out with so much promise. Before the start of the 2009 campaign national columnist and other NFL insiders were excited about the Falcons chances and building up what could have been a deep playoff run.

Birdseed: December 1, 2009

By J. Michael Moore | Published: December 1, 2009
Even with all the good feelings and playoff appearance, I can’t say a game in 2008 had the same immediate impact Sunday’s game against the Eagles will have on the Falcons hopes. Maybe it’s a case of proximity and point of view. I guess if you were to pick, you’d select one of the games in November [...]

Falconcast: Saints Preview

By J. Michael Moore | Published: October 30, 2009
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 [...]

Birdseed: October 19, 2009

By J. Michael Moore | Published: October 19, 2009
Something about the Bears coming to town brings out the best in the Georgia Dome crowd and the Falcons. It also stirs up a little storm of luck that, for now, seems to be on the Falcons’ side. But like a tornado slicing through the plains, luck can be a fickle friend. This is particularly true [...]

If for some reason you’re looking for a way to get pumped of for Sunday night’s game between the Falcons and Bears, look no further than AF.com’s Vantage Point highlight from last year’s game between the teams. A lot has been made this week of the Falcons, last-second, 22-20 win over Chicago in 2008. It’s not [...]

I’ll Never Complain About an Airport

By J. Michael Moore | Published: October 11, 2009
John Manasso just checked in with his first gameday blog. And, I must say, it’s a gem. Next time you listen to the Falcons on the radio remember Voice of the Falcons Wes Durham and radio analyst Dave Archer have more than one job. Durham works at Georgia Tech and calls all the Yellow Jackets’ football games [...]

By J. Michael Moore | Published: October 5, 2009
So, Falcons fans, what did you do on your bye weekend? Something boring? Well, the wait is over. The Falcons are back in Flowery Branch (I know because I had to navigate through the entire offensive line on my way for a morning cup of coffee — a bit frightening). Now it’s time to get down to [...]

Falconcast: All About the Bye Week

By J. Michael Moore | Published: October 1, 2009
So it’s Week 4… And we have a weekend off? Doesn’t seem right, but it’s the hand the NFL dealt the Falcons when the schedule was released. The con of an early bye week is obvious: The motor just got going. Too soon to shut it off for maintenance! However, there are some hidden pros that make an [...]

Looking through some Birdseed possibilities while thinking about the Falcons’ place in the universe… A frustrating side effect of the NFL bye week has appeared in Flowery Branch. Well, at least it’s focused its attention on the Falcons practice facility. In case you’ve lived in a cave for the past week, the Falcons lost a Week 3 [...]
