The Falcons are off to a 3-2 start, but it’s been far from perfect. Every single week, a different facet of the team has failed. Against the Steelers and Saints, as well as three quarters against the Eagles, the Falcons offense was pitiful. Against the Buccaneers, the defense didn’t show up. Raheem Morris’ team hasn’t
The Falcons are preparing for their third divisional matchup in as many weeks as they travel to Charlotte to take on the Panthers. Atlanta will try to improve their record in the NFC South to a perfect 3-0 to take a stranglehold on the division. They might have some reinforcemrnts to help in that task
Though we can criticize his track record in the draft, we have to give Terry Fontenot his flowers for his work in free agency. Since taking over as the Falcons’ GM, Fontenot’s most notable deals include Kaden Elliss, David Onyemata, Jessie Bates III, Kirk Cousins, Darnell Mooney, and Justin Simmons. All of those deals have
The Hawks don’t have many believers around the NBA. Hell, a lot of folks in Atlanta aren’t exactly beaming with confidence in their basketball team.

The Braves have had one of the worst farm systems in baseball for some time by industry rankings standards, but somehow, the club continues to pump out elite talent.

The Hawks are coming off another disappointing campaign, one that prompted Landry Fields to finally blow up the Dejounte Murray–Trae Young tandem. The trade with the Pelicans netted a few players, with Dyson Daniels being the most sought-after piece by the Hawks, along with a couple of first-round picks. It was an offseason that didn’t
The Falcons have had their fair share of injuries, particularly at the linebacker position; however, more often than not thus far, Atlanta has had the health advantage over their opponents. The Buccaneers, Saints, and Steelers were shorthanded along the offensive line. The Bucs were without All-Pro safety Antoine Winfield Jr., and the Eagles were without
Most likely, there won’t be wholesale changes coming for the Braves this winter. When Alex Anthopoulos signed the respective members of Atlanta’s core to long-term deals, it effectively limited his ability to make significant alterations to the roster.

The first head coach has been fired this NFL season as the Jets parted ways with Robert Saleh, and an old Falcons friend is replacing him. According to Adam Schefter, New York’s defensive coordinator, Jeff Ulbrich, will be the interim for the rest of the season. Defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich is being named the New
