A positive development from the Falcons injury report
The Falcons injury report on Thursday did have one positive development, with starting left tackle Jake Matthews (groin) returning to practice in a limited capacity. Falcons Injury Report (Thursday) Full Participation OT Michael Jerrell (ankle) DE Cam Thomas (shoulder) Limited Participation LB Divine Deablo (hamstring) DE Samson Ebukam (hamstring) LT Jake Matthews (groin) Did Not […]
Tyler Mahle on potentially returning to the Braves in free agency
Undoubtedly the best move Alex Anthopoulos made over the last calendar year was the acquisition of Tyler Mahle. The veteran arm was sporting an ERA north of 5.00 for San Francisco, nobody was looking to deal for him, and the Braves essentially got him just for picking up the remaining $2 million on his contract. […]
This stat is why the Braves’ NLDS exit is so frustrating
After a scorching start, the Braves never really recaptured that magic over the final four months of the season. There were flashes of brilliance, sure — but mostly it was inconsistency, and nowhere more so than at the plate. Entering the postseason, you’d have been hard-pressed to find a single level-headed fan who believed Atlanta […]
Ronald Acuña Jr. speaks on playoff struggles and boos from Braves fans
When the Braves arrived to the playoffs, one thing was obvious: they’d need their biggest stars to show up if they wanted to go toe to toe with the best in baseball. None of them did. And when that happens against the two-time defending champs, the writing is on the wall before you can wipe […]
After disappointing postseason, will Braves make big changes?
From the moment the season opened, one question hung over the Braves above all others: would they have enough pitching to be legitimate championship contenders? It got ugly fast. Atlanta lost Spencer Schwellenbach and Hurston Waldrep essentially for the year during Spring Training. Spencer Strider got hurt around the same time, joined the club late, […]
Will Falcons OC and DC garner interest for head coaching opportunities?
It really is amazing what a difference a couple of weeks — and a quarterback — can make for a team. After the first two games, pundits were penciling the Falcons in to draft first overall, which was difficult to argue at the time, given Atlanta had not even made a trip to the red […]
With the season on the line, Braves announce lineup for Game 4
It’s put up or shut up time for the Braves, especially for the guys at the top of the order. Matt Olson, Drake Baldwin, and Ronald Acuña Jr. have been ghosts this postseason — and if that doesn’t change tonight, nobody expects Atlanta to take this series back to Los Angeles. Here’s how the Braves […]
Mike Florio: Teams around league “fear” Falcons with Matt Ryan “all-in”
When you bludgeon two teams by 20-plus points in primetime in back-to-back weeks, averaging 40 points per game, the national media is going to start talking about you — and that’s been the case a lot for the Falcons over the last couple of days. Bijan Robinson is being discussed as not just an Offensive […]
Maybe Zac Robinson was the problem with the Falcons offense all along
Sometimes you can’t really pinpoint where everything went wrong with a regime until everybody is out of the building, and now that they’ve all moved on, it’s becoming fair to say Zac Robinson was the reason Raheem Morris and Terry Fontenot are no longer in Atlanta. The former Falcons offensive coordinator was a hot commodity […]
Drake London carries hate for the Saints that Falcons fans can appreciate
The Falcons walked into the locker room at halftime against the Saints up 24-7. It was a total mismatch, and it would have been easy for them to take their foot off the gas and still win the game comfortably. That’s how big the talent gap was on the field on Monday night. Instead, the […]
Yamamoto Dominates as the Braves’ Stars Go Missing Again in October
After stealing Game 2 with a bullpen game, it felt like the Braves had their golden chance — the opening to finally be the team that topples the Dodgers in October. Chris Sale, arguably the most dominant pitcher of the last three seasons, was lined up for Game 3 with the series shifting back to […]
Braves announce lineup for Game 3 against Dodgers
With a little under four hours until first pitch, the Braves have announced their lineup for Game 3 against the Dodgers. Game 3. #LetItFly pic.twitter.com/qEtGsjSSjq — Atlanta Braves (@Braves) October 6, 2026 It’s a very interesting construction against the right-handed Yoshinobu Yamamoto. Ha-Seong Kim is back in at shortstop, with Sean Murphy serving as the […]
Three under the radar standouts for the Falcons through Week 4
The Falcons enter Week 5 coming off two of the most impressive performances of the season. Bijan Robinson is the frontrunner for the Offensive Player of the Year award, recording 339 yards on the ground with four touchdowns over the past two weeks. Brian Robinson Jr. has been a wonderful complement in the backfield as […]
ESPN completely disrespects Falcons in latest power rankings
It’s not often I come on here and call other networks’ content dumb, but this is hands down the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen published by a major network, and it’s hard to think of a close second. ESPN just released its latest NFL power rankings following Monday Night Football, with the Falcons walloping the […]
Ian Rapoport on Lamar Jackson’s injury ahead of Falcons game
Lamar Jackson exited Sunday’s win over the Tennessee Titans with an ankle injury and did not return for the second half. The star quarterback does have an outside chance to play on Sunday against the Falcons, but Ian Rapoport also reports that Jackson could miss multiple games depending on how the rehab goes. #Ravens QB […]
Falcons suffer a couple of key injuries against the Saints
The Falcons delivered another dominant primetime performance, shellacking the Saints by 21 points in a 45-24 victory. Bijan Robinson and Brian Robinson Jr. got whatever they wanted on the ground, rushing for over 200 yards with five touchdowns. Michael Penix Jr. added another touchdown through the air in what was yet another incredibly efficient performance […]
ESPN has a scorching hot take for the Braves and Dodgers
The Braves head home with the series tied at one, and Chris Sale ready to take the ball on Tuesday night, with Tyler Mahle following him on Wednesday. It’s a best-case scenario for Atlanta, and one that Jesse Rogers of ESPN does not believe the Dodgers will be able to overcome. “Walt Weiss’ master strategy […]
The Atlanta Falcons might be the scariest team in football
In just two weeks, the entire narrative surrounding the Atlanta Falcons has flipped on its head, and it’s not too difficult to find the inflection point. Against the Steelers and Panthers, Atlanta’s defense held its own for the most part. Neither team could run the ball on Atlanta, and if the offense didn’t turn the […]
2027 estimated arbitration salaries for the Atlanta Braves
The Braves are smack dab in the middle of their postseason run, so we don’t want to discuss the offseason too much. But MLB Trade Rumors did release its arbitration estimates for 2027 — one of the most useful articles every year. So let’s take a look at some of those numbers for the Atlanta […]
A potentially overlooked development of Braves Game 2 win over Dodgers
The Braves’ Game 2 victory over the Dodgers in the NLDS featured a slew of talking points. Ray Kerr delivered again as an opener, as the aura around his path to this point continues to grow. Michael Harris II keeps cementing himself as a postseason demon, adding three more hits to his tally this October, […]
Can the Braves Win With Just Two Starters? The 2024 Dodgers Say Yes
The Braves’ paper-thin rotation is the result of two things: Alex Anthopoulos not adding anybody in free agency, and injuries. It left the club with only three healthy starting pitchers on the roster coming into October, and after five games, it’s fair to say they really only have two — Chris Sale and Tyler Mahle. […]
This will ultimately decide if the Braves can slay the Dodgers
The Braves pieced together a bullpen masterpiece on Sunday to tie the series with the Dodgers at one apiece. It’s the best-case scenario for a club that doesn’t feature a lot of starting pitching, one that now has its two horses ready for Games 3 and 4 at Truist Park, where the Braves are 54-30 […]
Saints vs. Falcons: Major Questions Will Be Answered
We are amid one of the most insane seven-day stretches in Atlanta sports history. Sandwiched between the first four games of the NLDS is the Falcons versus the Saints on Monday Night Football. On Friday, we have a potential Game 5 between the Braves and Dodgers — and on Saturday, Georgia heads to Tuscaloosa for […]
Three advantages now working for the Braves in the NLDS
Walt Weiss has had some questionable moments through the first five postseason games, but it’s easy to criticize from the couch when things don’t go as planned. The facts are this: this is a club that hadn’t won a playoff series since 2021. They got that monkey off their back by defeating the Phillies in […]
The Braves’ Bullpen Stole Game 2 From the Dodgers — and We’ve Got a Series
After dropping Game 1 behind a bullpen game, the expectation was simple: Chris Sale would take the ball in Game 2, in what amounted to a must-win spot. It had been a full four days since his last start. And though he’d thrown 21 pitches of relief on Thursday, it felt impossible to imagine the […]
