Your Week 15 TV Distribution Maps
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 [...]

Vote Early… Vote Often
Falcons running back Michael Turner recorded his best game of the season against the 49ers — 97 rushing yards and three touchdowns — and, with a little help from the fans, he can get some national recognition.
Turner is up for FedEx Ground Player of the Week for his performance in San Francisco. He’s competing against [...]

Birdseed: October 12, 2009
Statistically, it was no where near the most successful game of his career. But having Jerious Norwood back on the field after a concussion certainly improved the Falcons ability to move the football and score.
The running back, who suffered a pair of concussions over a 22-day period, rushed for 44 yards on 12 carries in [...]

Perfect Win at a Perfect Time
At the close of Sunday’s 45-10 win over the San Francisco 49ers, Falcons players walked to the locker room with scattered screams of exclamation and celebration.
But it wasn’t as wild as you may think.
Sure, Matt Ryan set new career numbers with 329 passing yards and a pair of touchdowns.
Yes, Roddy White became the first Falcons [...]

Additions to the Formula
Atlanta got 11 wins in 2008 thanks to safe play from a rookie quarterback, dominant runs from a new running back and steady play from a work-in-progress defense.
It came together in the form of early scores and lead preservation.
Through the first quarter of the Falcons game at San Francisco Sunday, the team returned to that [...]

Quick Notes on Falcons, 49ers Inactives
Cornerback Tye Hill will wait at least another week before suiting up for the Falcons.
Atlanta de-activated the former first-round pick, who was acquired in a late-preseason trade with the St. Louis Rams. Head Coach Mike Smith has spoke highly of Hill, who has spent the first four weeks of the season and the bye week [...]

Falconacst: 49ers Preview
When traveling, especially to the West Coast, a lot of things have to fall into place.
This is true for the personal or business traveler and a professional football team. The Falcons may not have to worry about connections or layovers, but there’s plenty to keep in mind on a 60-hour trip to the opposite side [...]

Birdseed: October 9, 2009
So, the much-anticipated Madden showdown didn’t go too well for me.
It seems the human behind the controls of an xBox 360 needs to have some actual skill to make things work properly. My abilities must have caught an earlier flight to San Francisco.
Sorry to let you down Falcons fans, but rest assured the 31-17 defeat [...]
