The Braves continue to be beat down by injuries, with Whit Merrifield being the latest, but the club just refuses to die. I have never seen such resilience from a club that has been hit so hard by injuries, and it continued over the weekend. Merrifield returned to the lineup on Friday against the Blue
Coming into the season, the Falcons are a team with mixed reviews. If you ask a lot of fans in Atlanta, they’re the best team in the NFC South and anything less than a home game in Mercedes-Benz Stadium would be a tremendous disappointment. That’s not the case with others. It seems the pessimistic fans
Everyone is piling on the Falcons right now. Whether it’s Kirk Cousins falling flat, Raheem Morris not playing starters in the preseason, or any other number of issues, fans are taking their turn throwing jabs. That includes Super Bowl villain Devonta Freeman, who took to Twitter/X to voice his opinion on his former team …
The Falcons were embarrassed in their 2024 debut. The Steelers didn’t score a single touchdown and seemingly won with ease. There’s a lot of finger-pointing going around among fans. Kirk Cousins‘ health is a talking point as the veteran was clearly immobile in the pocket. The offensive game plan was horrific as the wonder boy

The Falcons are around field goal betting favorites over the Steelers this Sunday, but if you’d just read the headlines, Atlanta has already beaten Pittsburgh. However, the Falcons have only “won” the offseason. Raheem Morris has won over the city, fan base, players, and everyone associated with the organization. There’s tangible excitement in Atlanta again
A couple of weeks ago, Mike Tomlin named Russell Wilson the Steelers starting quarterback for the season opener against the Falcons. It wasn’t exactly a surprise. Even though Justin Fields is younger and a more electric player, Wilson can obviously run Arthur Smith’s offense more effectively or he wouldn’t have gotten the job. However, a
The biggest talking point of the week for the Falcons surrounded Kyle Pitts’ hamstring injury. Raheem Morris told Atlanta media earlier in the week that Pitts was limited in practice with the soft tissue injury, which sent fans into a frenzy, and rightfully so. Pitts has dealt with a plethora of injury issues early in
The devil works hard, but the NFL works harder. The Falcons and Steelers season opener would’ve already had hype because it’s the first game with two new quarterbacks and a new head coach on one side. However, there’s an added layer of drama with Arthur Smith returning to Atlanta. After three seasons as head coach
