Photo by Todd Kirkland/Getty Images If the season slips away, especially if the season slips away because of Cousins, the Falcons will have to weigh the move. Close-knit teams with good teammates, the kind of squad I feel confident in saying the Atlanta Falcons have fostered, stick up for their guys . Drake London routinely came to Desmond Ridder’s defense a year ago , and he’s...

Photo by Sean Gardner/Getty Images Atlanta can’t rest on its laurels coming out of the bye, not with the Buccaneers in striking distance and the Saints and Panthers finally winning. Half the division was on a bye, and the other half extended their streaks, both good and bad. It hasn’t been a pretty season for the division, but this isn’t a beauty pageant. Someone has to win this...

Ron Chenoy-Imagn Images What do the Falcons need, and what might they get? The past week, we have seen a mass exodus of sports media personalities, including some of your favorite SB Nation writers , make the leap from X (formerly known as Twitter) to the new social media site: Bluesky . Why? Simple. Bluesky is for the culture. The rampant, nonsensical hellscape that is X...

Despite the loss at Mile High, the Atlanta Falcons still hold a heavy edge in the odds to win the NFC South. The sages over at FanDuel Sportsbook currently has Atlanta sitting at -700 to take home the divisional crown, their first since the 2016 season. The Falcons’...

Photo by Julio Aguilar/Getty Images The Falcons and Bucs drop games, while the Panthers surge and the Saints reverse a skid. Only in the NFC South will the two 2-7 teams both notch wins in the same weekend while the consistent leaders of the division fall short. The Falcons allowed the Saints to end their losing streak, while Carolina went on its first winning streak. Once again,...

Photo by Ian Johnson/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images Here are the players you should be keeping on eye on during Saturday’s games. Every year since the CFP was implemented in 2014, the first week of College Football Playoff (CFP) rankings had a bit more meaning to it. It’s a check-in for every team; a signal for how close to the ultimate goal your program is as you traverse the...

Photo by Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images Atlanta has options, and we deliver them via baseball metaphors. After years of speculation and alleged “deals in place” that fell through, the Atlanta Falcons traded for an edge rusher! Terry Fontenot sent a third to New England to acquire Matthew Judon, a player with a productive history but one that came with risk after missing most of the...

Robert Hanashiro-Imagn Images It seems like a worthwhile thing to do, but whether Atlanta can and will make a big swing is an open question. The Atlanta Falcons have one of the league’s most inept pass rushes yet again. I know you’re stunned. Per Pro Football Reference, the team is 21st in hurries, 25th in quarterback hits, and somehow tied for 9th in knockdowns, but also dead...

Photo by Mitchell Layton/Getty Images It’s the third practice squad player Atlanta has lost. Perhaps it’s a testament to the strength of the Atlanta Falcons roster and practice squad, or perhaps it’s just a perfect storm of team needs, player availability, and the like. Either way, the Falcons have now lost three practice squad players to other teams in the first five weeks of the...

Photo by Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images Following another week of falling well short on third down, one of the biggest issues surrounding the Falcons must be addressed. One of the biggest problems to arise during the three difficult opening games for the Atlanta Falcons is their inability to convert third downs. Only the Jaguars, Panthers, and Browns have a worse third down conversion...

Stephen Lew-Imagn Images The Saints destroyed the Panthers, the Buccaneers beat Dan Quinn, and the Falcons...well. The division opens up at 2-2. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers look like they haven't lost a step, the Carolina Panthers have somehow lost one, and the New Orleans Saints played the Panthers (enough said). We don’t have to talk about the Atlanta Falcons here. Here's...

Ken Blaze-USA TODAY Sports A short-lived stint for Grant, and now the Falcons will likely be shopping for receiver depth again. First Rondale Moore, now Jakeem Grant. The Atlanta Falcons tried to replace the loss of the speedy, versatile Moore with Grant, a terrific returner and speedy receiving option, but after a short stint with the team Grant is also headed to the...

Ken Blaze-USA TODAY Sports The two-time All-Pro will join up to fill the void left by Rondale Moore’s season-ending injury. With Rondale Moore suffering a season-ending injury, I suggested the other day that the Atlanta Falcons would be unlikely to stand pat with their roster, given the versatile Moore’s likely role as a receiver, returner, and possibly even runner. With the first...
