Atlanta Falcons

Didn’t notice Smith had grown a cop-stache.

Maybe he will decide to do us all a favor and hold out.

Clickbait title aside, this is good news as it seems Pitts’ MCL repair and rehab is complete.

Episode: QB Rankings and Playcallers with Jourdan Rodrigue.

Aside from the Ridder chat, a funny aside about Shanahan being able to coach Natalie Portman up to NFL starter standards.

Glad to see that our front office is remaining a class act now that "Quarterbacks" is out and outlets are looking for quote fodder. Nothing really new in here, except maybe the disconnect about the discussion about MM getting his leg surgery. I think it all worked out for everyone in the end.

I've been hearing about this show for a while, mostly via ads on NFL podcasts that I listen to. Has anyone actually watched it yet? Knowing how crazy some of the games were last season, I suspect there is some juicy stuff in there from the Falcons. I just want to see what people think before deciding whether or not to dive into the series.

Buried in this story about new luxury boxes is the very important news that MB hot dog prices will be lowered to $1.50. I guess Blank finally went to a Costco.

It was refreshing to see a take the recognized just how bad Mariota’s passing fame was and that it affected the young star players last year. Especially as they saw the improvement with Ridder in the final four games.

I don’t believe in year to year momentum, but it is a good indicator that the front office is not just blowing smoke by sticking with Ridder as a Tannehill-esque upside for Ridder.

Two teams enter. One team gets to break the streak by winning. Right now, the Falcons have a healthy overall win record against the Panthers. Especially at home. Let’s hope that trend continues this season.

I know it's still early in the Lemmy migration, but when did you become a Falcons fan? I've been a fan since the Georgia Dome opened *92 and despite years of pain I still watch every game.

ESPN continues their skeptical narrative about the Smith/Fontenot Falcons. I personally think they are wrong. Especially when so many articles still mention Lamar Jackson. It’s clear that much of the national media don’t get what the Falcons are doing and that Ridder only needs to be a top-half QB not a top-5 QB.

Let's hope Ridder is on the right side of the Dalton line this season.

Schaub may not have been the most dynamic backup, but he was a key part of the “Mattlanta” era.

As with most off-season interviews, not much actually said. The biggest take-away seems to be that AK47 decided he needed to bulk up a bit to be more effective this season.
