Streak Dead, Era Continues

Falcons: No Rear View Mirror
Maybe it’s something in the water in Flowery Branch, but Falcons players interviewed Wednesday appeared upbeat, focused and ready to “shock the world” Sunday when the undefeated Saints come to town.
Sure, they were asked about Sunday’s lopsided defeat the Eagles and playoff chances that, though existent, remain statistically thin. But when it came time to talk [...]

Birdseed: November 27, 2009
We’ve spent time this week breaking down the Bucs and wondering what the impact will be of a new defensive play caller, a rookie quarterback making just his fourth start and an offense that seems to funnel most of its attention to a tight end.
For a moment, let’s focus on the Falcons and what it [...]

Passing Thoughts on the ‘D’
The Falcons defense was the talk of Atlanta sports after last week’s preseason loss. Linemen, linebackers and defensive backs also talked about the mistakes and what they needed to do to get better.
Friday in St. Louis the defense made the necessary adjustments and showed the speed and enthusiasm coaches have raved about since April’s NFL [...]

Friday Night Revenge
BLOGGER’S NOTE: For an archive of the live blog from Friday Night Lights, click here.
Some names and faces on the roster have changed, but there’s nothing like a little rematch to get the juices flowing.
The Falcons defense took an early lead in the second Allstate All-Access Friday Night Lights, this time at Brookwood High School, [...]

‘Play Like Your Hair’s on Fire!’
Brian VanGorder certainly has a way with words.
The Falcons defensive coordinator barked at his team for much of the morning practice at Russell Falcons Training Camp, often hinting that everyone — linemen to secondary — attack the ball like flames were overtaking their skulls.
I think the helmet would snuff out the fire, but maybe I’m [...]

Falcons Take Flight
With emotion in his voice, Falcons linebacker Coy Wire brought a special message to soldiers stationed at Ft. Benning Monday evening.
Attitude is everything.
After thanking the gathering of more than 250 men and women for their service, Wire noted the urge to wilt in the face of adversity but asked everyone to rise above the challenges [...]

Birdseed: March, 3, 2009
The Falcons have quietly evaluated the free agent market for four days and could very well keep a patient eye on the NFL landscape longer in order to ensure the acquisition of quality talent at the appropriate price.
Then again, maybe this won’t be an ordinary Tuesday since the Birds have found ways to stay in [...]
