What matters for the Falcons in 2025? ft. Allen Strk: Falcoholic Live, Ep358
The Falcons have been eliminated from playoff contention, but there’s a lot of evaluation left to do during the 2025 season. Kevin Knight and Allen Strk discuss what matters for the Falcons over the remainder of the year, including a potential Kyle Pitts breakout, continued growth and development from the defense, and figuring out draft […]
Arthur Blank to decide Raheem Morris, Terry Fontenot fates after 2025 season
Earlier this week, I wrote that the Atlanta Falcons were likely to either decide the fate of Raheem Morris after Thursday Night Football or wait until the end of the season. It appears it’ll be season’s end, something that was always likely if the Falcons won last night, but was actually reported before the game. […]
Atlanta Falcons Highlight Reel vs. Buccaneers
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ struggles against the Atlanta Falcons over the past couple of years needs to be studied. How the Bucs were able to allow the Falcons to, not only stay in this game, but end up stealing this game in Raymond-James Stadium is a remarkable feat in and of itself. Not even accounting […]
Falcons – Buccaneers TNF recap: Making history while sinking pirates
We assumed we knew this story. There were brilliant moments, stellar individual performances, and stretches where it looked like Atlanta would cruise to an unlikely win. Then it seemed that they were undone by the same errors that have cropped up all season, fresh waves of penalties, and failures by players the Falcons have been […]
Falcons refuse to walk the plank in Week 15 snap reactions
The Atlanta Falcons overcame the odds and their own mistakes to derail the Tampa Bay Buccaneers season. Any chance of real success is over, but that didn’t stop this team from trying to win. Here are the Week 15 snap reactions. The Unicorn Kyle Pitts delivered the best game of his career under the Thursday […]
Falcons vs Bucs Week 15 postgame show: Historic comeback victory
The Falcons trailed 28-14, committed a franchise record 19 penalties, and…defeated the Buccaneers 29-28 as time expired. Kevin Knight and Tre’Shon Diaz break down one of the strangest and most unlikely victories in Falcons history, discuss why this result doesn’t change anything for Raheem Morris and Co., and enjoy some phenomenal performances from Kyle Pitts, […]
Falcons – Buccaneers TNF instant recap: Holding on, somehow
What a game. It was a game filled to the brim with stupid moments, frankly astonishing flashes of brilliance, and bewildering decision-making. It did the NFC South proud, and for one shining moment in a miserable year, it gave us a reason to be proud of our Falcons. They won the first half narrowly before […]

Falcons odds: Atlanta slight underdogs to play spoiler in Tampa Bay
The Atlanta Falcons’ season is over. Yes, there are four more games to play, but with their loss to the Seahawks last week, the Falcons drove the final nail in another losing season and will enter an off-season with a raft of changes and a whirlwind of questions. One thing that’s not up for debate, […]
Falcons vs. Bucs Week 15 Injury Report: Drake London out, Kyle Pitts questionable

Raheem Morris hasn’t earned 3rd season as the Atlanta Falcons’ head coach
The Atlanta Falcons are at a crossroads. After a 3-2 start, including an impressive Week 6 victory over the Buffalo Bills, the wheels fell off. Atlanta lost five straight games, ultimately ending up at 4-9 heading into Week 15. The Falcons were officially eliminated from the playoffs on Sunday. Whenever a team with playoff expectations […]
What if the Falcons win/lose against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2025 (Part 2)
Everyone thought this specific game would have serious implications in the NFC South race when the schedule was first released, way back in the middle of May. That included the NFL decision makers themselves, who made this a late season prime time matchup on Thursday Night Football. How could we not expect a big matchup? […]

Will the Falcons make a coaching change? Falcoholic Live, Ep357
The Falcons dropped to 4-9 after an embarrassing blowout loss to the Seahawks, and were officially eliminated from playoff contention. With issues mounting from all three phases and the roster looking shakier by the day, it’s time to ask a serious question: will the Falcons make a coaching change? If so, when should we expect […]
Falcons vs. Buccaneers: A look at the series history going into 2025 (Part 2)
It’s time to renew another rivalry in the NFC South, where the Atlanta Falcons and Tampa Bay Buccaneers have completely shared the spoils throughout their 64 historic matchups, each one winning 32 of those. From 2016 through 2022, both Atlanta and Tampa traded dominating stretches of success over the other team. Under Matt Ryan and […]
What to know about Falcons – Buccaneers redux in Thursday Night Football
God help us, it’s NFC South football on a Thursday night. We really have to do this. The Falcons, losers of seven of their past eight games, will face the Buccaneers, losers of four of their past five, in primetime. The Bucs need a win badly to stay afloat in the NFC South, while the […]
If the Falcons are making an in-season move, it’ll be after Thursday night
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 Falcons vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Best Thursday Night Football outcome?
What a weird season this has been for the Falcons, and I absolutely mean that in a bad way. Any hope we had early on was choked out weeks ago. Nothing this team does makes sense, whether it’s getting shut out entirely by the Carolina Panthers or beating the Bills. And normally in a lost […]
Falcons – Buccaneers Week 15 2025 Game Coverage
It’s a short week, and the reeling Falcons are on to Thursday Night Football to face the struggling Buccaneers. Atlanta would be delighted to get a win and play spoiler for the Bucs, while Tampa Bay badly wants this one to keep their dimming playoff hopes alive as Carolina charges at them. We should expect […]
Falcons sign WR Malik Heath, cut S Jordan Fuller
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. In a corresponding move, they released lightly used safety Jordan Fuller. The 25-year-old Heath is an interesting flier for a team as receiver-starved as Atlanta. The former undrafted free agent […]
The Falcons have earned their place on the bottom of the NFL’s heap
The Atlanta Falcons are keeping ugly company these days. With their ninth loss of the season, our favorite team is now: This is a terrible era by any standard, and if it’s not quite up there with the longest and most depressing historic stretches in NFL history, there’s still time for the Falcons to get […]
Falcons – Seahawks recap: With a whimper
The Atlanta Falcons 2025 season is dead, and will be neither lamented nor missed. The season will be survived by its fans and its schedule, which ensures the team will shuffle zombie-like through four more games, but make no mistake: It is dead. The Falcons will not make the playoffs for the eighth straight season, […]
Atlanta Falcons Highlights vs. Seahawks, featuring Bijan Robinson, James Pearce Jr.
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. The Seattle Seahawks bludgeoned the Falcons 37-9, outscoring the home team 31-3 in the second half. Was the performance lackluster? For sure. Is this yet another low point in […]
Falcons vs. Seahawks referee defends overturned Darnell Mooney TD
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. The score was overturned because officials decided Mooney hadn’t established himself back in-bounds after going out of bounds. The Athletic’s Josh Kendall, […]
