Chances are Arthur Blank will not fire Raheem Morris and Terry Fontenot during the season. It is not his style, after all, as the only time the Falcons’ owner has done so was during 2020 after he took a big risk in keeping Dan Quinn and Thomas Dimitroff around and watched them go 0-5 to […]

Atlanta has made a move just before Week 15 to add to a moribund receiving corps, claiming former Green Bay Packer Malik Heath off waivers.

Well, it’s official. The Falcons are officially eliminated from playoff contention. And they made sure not to give Falcons fans too much hope in the process.

Darnell Mooney’s overturned touchdown late in the second quarter, if it had stood, at least would have made the blowout they experienced at the hands of the Seattle Seahawks a little less embarrassing.
