Your Week 13 Television Breakdown…
When Michael Vick first signed with the Philadelphia Eagles I thought Sunday’s game could be flexed to the prime time spot on NBC. As both Atlanta and Philadelphia moved toward top rivals in the NFC Wild Card chase, I was almost sure it would happen.
Shows what I know. Minnesota and Arizona stays locked in on [...]

Birdseed: 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 [...]

Week 11 Television Notes (and Maps)
Time for a little behind-the-scenes info…
Each week NFL teams and their public relations departments schedule conference calls or production meetings between key coaches and players and members of the broadcast crew.
Some are longer than others. In the case of this week’s Falcons-Giants game, it may be little more than a cup of coffee and “how [...]

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.
In a blink the Falcons went from 4-1 to [...]

Back to the Classroom
A bright side from the Falcons defensive performance on third down against the Chargers?
The next game is just three days away.
Monday several members of the Falcons secondary commented on the team’s win over San Diego, just a few hours after reviewing the film and getting on the practice field.
The reaction wasn’t mixed.
The team would rather [...]

Birdseed: August 31, 2009
We all know the quarterback image portrayed in the movies.
Clean cut. All-American look. Popular with the ladies. Gifted athlete.
Some news organizations have taken note of the archetypal attributes of “handsome” signal-callers. Well, at least they’ve identified the most symmetrical faces.
In case you’re wondering, Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan takes the top honor via a report in [...]

Birdseed: August 30, 2009
If you’ve watched the Falcons this preseason you’ve seen an offense that seems able to score at will and, as Head Coach Mike Smith says, a defense that has some work to do.
It doesn’t get more simple than that.
Tight end Tony Gonzalez will be a threat in the red zone. Running back Michael Turner will [...]

Showing an Aggressive Streak
One thing the Falcons didn’t do a lot of in an 11-win season in 2008 was play from behind. Head Coach Mike Smith pushed quick scores and early starts, giving the defense a chance to play with a lead.
The Falcons want a more aggressive defense in 2009, one that flies to the quarterback with gusto [...]
