Birdseed: November 27, 2009

By J. Michael Moore | Published: 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 [...]

Grudge Match… As Expected

By J. Michael Moore | Published: September 27, 2009
What happens when you get two teams with big offenses and upstart defenses together on a rainy day? A low-scoring, back-and-forth, grudge match. And isn’t that what we expected today? New England trotted into the locker room with a 13-10 lead, but that was more an instance of having the ball with the clock winding down in the [...]

Comparing Ryan and Brady

By J. Michael Moore | Published: September 27, 2009
One day during his rookie season, quarterback Matt Ryan and other Falcons joined their head coach at PGA Superstore in Duluth for a golf lesson. Ryan didn’t really need it (he’s shot 88 at Augusta National) but he’ll never turn down a chance to learn something new. But it was in the tennis section of the [...]

NFL Television Notes: Week 3

By J. Michael Moore | Published: September 23, 2009
This is where national attention is gained. The Falcons travel to New England this weekend to face the Patriots. In case you haven’t heard of Tom Brady and Co., do some Google searches on “Super Bowl MVPs.” In other words, this is a game against a marquee opponent in a large media market. With that, comes [...]

Quick Chat with John Kincade

By J. Michael Moore | Published: August 4, 2009
One of the most well-respected radio personalities in Atlanta took some time out Tuesday morning to talk about the Falcons. For that, the staff at J. Mike’s Missives (me), thank him. A striking theme is developing in these interviews with media types. They like what the Falcons have going. “The foundation Coach Smith talks about so often is [...]

First-and-10 and Fish and Chips?

By J. Michael Moore | Published: May 6, 2009
A Super Bowl in London? NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said it’s not going to happen but — like Brett Favre entering and leaving retirement — the story doesn’t seem to go away. But let’s have some fun with what could have been. Let’s assume for a moment this could happen and not in the “anything-can-happen” kind of way. [...]

Birdseed: May 1, 2009

By J. Michael Moore | Published: May 1, 2009
Semi-related commentary and news to kick off the weekend edition of Birdseed… I spend the majority of my day on the Internet. It’s where I get most of my news, gossip and entertainment. But sometimes I need to hold a newspaper. I need the ink to smudge on my fingers. There’s a feeling in that experience not easily [...]

Birdseed: March 13, 2009

By J. Michael Moore | Published: March 13, 2009
Random find while sharpening the YouTube search skills… Now for some thoughts. 1. Love the fact the Falcons are in the Super Bowl and made it through the playoffs after a 10-6 regular season. But, if you’re going to use the “rewind” function and cancel out a bad play, shouldn’t the team have gone 16-0? (I see the [...]
