Latest news and updates about the Falcons
Following another frustrating offensive performance and Ray-Ray McCloud’s release, there are growing conversations about the Falcons’ lethargic aerial attack. It’s not challenging defenses as it should be, given the significant investment at quarterback and across the pass-catching unit. Failing to find a rhythm in several games against decimated or below-average defenses is problematic for a […]
The Atlanta Falcons looked anemic in their loss to the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, so it’s a perfect time for the Miami Dolphins to come to town. Now, this is the NFL, and the any given Sunday adage always applies, but the Dolphins are downright dreadful — and it reflects in the betting odds, […]
The Miami Dolphins may face a totally different quarterback against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday.
Last week, Tua Tagovailoa and Dillion Gabriel made history by becoming the first pair of left-handed starting quarterbacks to square off since 2006. Many thought we’d get another matchup between southpaws this week, but according to a prominent NFL insider, Miami may be facing off against a proven veteran instead. According to ESPN’s Senior NFL […]
Are you bad at something if you never do it, or does never doing it make you bad at it? The Atlanta Falcons lack of a middle-of-the-field (MOF) passing attack is starting to draw more attention. Michael Penix Jr.’s passing charts on NextGenStats are raising questions about what’s going on. Is it the coach, quarterback, […]
The Miami Dolphins will be back out on the football field tomorrow when they take on the Atlanta Falcons. The Dolphins have struggled to stop the run this season and the Falcons have one of the top backs in the league with Bijan Robinson. It’s not out of the realm of possibilities to see him […]
The Miami Dolphins defense is so bad that Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson could make it into the history books in Week 8.
Friday is here as the Atlanta Falcons and Miami Dolphins wrapped up their final practices of the week. We have been monitoring the health for both teams all week, which some notables standing out, such as Falcons’ quarterback Michael Penix Jr. and Dolphins’ receiver Jaylen Waddle. Let’s take a look.

If the Atlanta Falcons hope to rebound in Week 8 with a win over the Miami Dolphins, they will need to recommit to their run game, the foundation of their offense. Atlanta was too pass-heavy in its loss to the San Francisco 49ers, which was reflected in an unbalanced stat line: 42 called passes to […]
The last analysis I did to preview the Buffalo Bills’ Week 6 game against the Atlanta Falcons leaned heavily on the idea of that team’s volatility. It turns out the Bills got a very good version of the Falcons and came away with a loss. I could write a similar article this week about the […]
The San Francisco 49ers are coming off their most impressive win of the 2025 season with a 20-10 victory over the Atlanta Falcons to move to 5-2. While the 49ers enter Week 8 three games over .500, don’t let the 2-4 record of the Houston Texans fool you into thinking Sunday in Houston could be […]
The Falcons return home to face the Dolphins in Week 8 with an opportunity for a bounce back game. Kevin Knight is joined by David Bearman (Betting with Bearman) to break down the upcoming game, including the latest injury reports, the matchups to watch on offense and defense, and some betting lines to target during […]
As we prepare for a big weekend of football, let’s look back at the former Orange on NFL rosters: Arizona Cardinals: Garrett Williams Williams remains out of action. Atlanta Falcons: Matthew Bergeron Bergeron played all 65 snaps in the loss to San Francisco. Cleveland Browns: Andre Szmyt Szmyt had a 30 yard field goal and […]
The San Francisco 49ers are riding high following a victory over the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday Night Football. DeMeco Ryans and the Houston Texans are next up, and the Texans are reeling after their loss to Seattle on Monday Night Football. The obvious connection is between Ryans with Kyle Shanahan and Robert Saleh as former […]
The Miami Dolphins made a salary cap maneuver ahead of their Week 8 game against the Atlanta Falcons. Why is that?
At 3-3, the Atlanta Falcons can either get to winning and potentially overtake a Buccaneers team finally showing some cracks, or they can keep stumbling and deliver an all-too-familiar season. I’d really like it if they did the former, personally. That can start on Sunday afternoon against the woeful Dolphins, who come to town to […]
Week 8 is upon us, as the Atlanta Falcons and Miami Dolphins prepare to face-off on Sunday. The Falcons held a dress rehearsal on Wednesday, so Thursday was their first official practice of the week. We have several injuries that we are monitoring on both teams, so let’s take a look. Falcons injury report, Thursday, […]
The Miami Dolphins have stumbled their way to a miserable 1-6 record through the first seven weeks of the 2025 NFL season. Is there any hope they will perform better over the final 11 weeks of the year? From the performances the team has put on the field lately, not really. But, they will have […]
San Francisco 49ers center Jake Brendel suffered a hamstring injury 20 plays into the game against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 7. Matt Hennessy replaced him and played the remaining 46 plays. Before the injury, there was set to be a rotation at left guard. Connor Colby started the game, as he’s done since Week […]
After enduring a tough early season schedule that saw them lose to the Panthers, Buccaneers, and 49ers while beating the Vikings, Commanders, and Bills, the Falcons get a brief reprieve before facing off against resurgent Patriots and Colts teams. That comes in the form of the woeful Miami Dolphins. The Dolphins are terrible, as their […]
The Miami Dolphins are playing like one of the worst teams in the NFL, a sad state of affairs for a team that, prior to the start of the season, should have been one competing for a wild card playoff position. As the wheels have fallen off the Dolphins’ 2025 season, the odds each week […]
Six games are usually a solid barometer for gauging trends for an NFL team. There is one glaring one when watching the Falcons this season. When they start strong and have control of the game, they earn their victory definitively. That has come against three previous playoff teams last season in beating Minnesota, Washington, and […]
49ers’ McCaffrey battled frustration before big game vs. Falcons: ‘I’m my biggest critic’ (paywall)“He’s just so efficient, he does everything right,” Falcons linebacker Kaden Elliss said Sunday. “It’s not like McCaffrey’s really dancing out there, but he reads everything perfectly. He’s so precise with his run game, his catch game. He’s a great player. You […]
The national media’s biggest talking point surrounding our Miami Dolphins prior to the kickoff of the season was more of a question, based on the idea that no one really understood what the team was doing or trying to do. We fans were, as usual, divided, with some believing disaster was inevitable due to the […]
