Falcons Draft 2027: Stock up, Stock Down for Early Season Prospects

The Atlanta Falcons are currently sitting in the middle of a rebuild, where the 2027 NFL Draft becomes more and more important the closer we get to it. With the talent available, there is a chance for the 2027 draft to be a foundational draft for the Falcons, but to do that, you have to […]

Falcons vs. Panthers recap: A famine for the eyes

Every NFL season begins with a glimmer of hope, a flickering candle in the darkness that seems to show an open door.

The Falcons are 0-1 and set to start Cooper Rush today, so I think it’s fair to say many fans are already combating Falcons fatigue.

The Falcoholic Reacts: Living up to the new contract

Two key players struggled mightily against the Steelers in a very winnable game. Matthew Bergeron and A.J. Terrell were penalized, lackadaisical, and a step behind far too often in their respective matchups. It was perplexing to see two veterans not on their game at the start of the season, especially given the circumstances surrounding the […]

It’s time for the Falcons to unleash Zachariah Branch

The Atlanta Falcons offense got off to a disappointing start in Week 1, and perhaps no player felt it more than rookie wide receiver Zachariah Branch. Branch was a non-factor last Sunday, through no fault of his own, and that shouldn’t be the case for the rest of the Falcons’ season. The Falcons must get […]

What to know about Falcons – Panthers in Week 2

Both the Atlanta Falcons and Carolina Panthers are seeking a win to bounce back from tough opening games. Naturally, only one of them can get the W, so who will it be? With NFC South games, that question is always a fraught one, but we’ll take a look at how Carolina has evolved and the […]

Falcons’ starting QB for Sunday vs. Panthers still undecided

The Falcons’ quarterback situation seems even murkier after head coach Kevin Stefanski spoke to the media on Wednesday. But Stefanski said he isn’t frustrated. “We want to be able to win and play well regardless of who’s in,” Stefanski said, and saying that the frustration actually comes from losing and falling short on the field.
