The Falcons have a playoff-caliber team on paper, but there are several factors that will determine what kind of season Atlanta will have. Kirk Cousins is one of them. The veteran signal caller has completely changed the expectations for the organization. With terrible quarterback play, the postseason has been a pipe dream for Falcons fans.
Even though it looks like the Braves will not win another NL East title, this season isn’t over. The club remains in playoff contention as they own the final spot of the NL Wild Card, but the Cubs and Mets are right on their heels. There’s still reason to be optimistic about a potential postseason
For much of the offseason, the Falcons’ offense was considered the strength of the team, led by Kirk Cousins, a good line, and three exciting top 10 draft picks. That doesn’t even consider the fact that Zac Robinson could end up being the next great offensive coordinator in football. The Falcons offense is oozing with
The Braves have been hit harder by injuries than any other club in baseball, and the most recent players to hit the IL were Austin Riley and A.J. Minter. While Riley could return for a potential postseason run, the latter of which was officially shut down for the rest of the season a couple of

The Braves began the Labor Day Weekend with a glimmer of hope to catch the Phillies in the NL East. Unfortunately, Atlanta fell three times in the four-game set, and now Philadelphia leads the division by seven games. At this point, the Braves must now shift their focus to fending off the Mets in the
The Falcons open the season this Sunday against the Steelers, and it’s expected to be one of the more enjoyable seasons for fans in quite some time. Raheem Morris and Kirk Cousins have a lot to do with that, as each is expected to be a force multiplier. We’ve already seen Morris work his magic.
The Falcons invested heavily in their skill group, spending three top 10 draft picks from 2021 to 2023 on Kyle Pitts, Drake London, and Bijan Robinson.
