Latest blog entries from Atlanta teams across every league
On the heels of an offseason deemed as the “best in the NBA” by the league’s general managers, the Atlanta Hawks got stomped in their season opener on Wednesday night, losing by 20 points to the Toronto Raptors in a game that was basically over by the 10:00 mark of the 4th quarter. Trae Young […]
Six games are usually a solid barometer for gauging trends for an NFL team. There is one glaring one when watching the Falcons this season. When they start strong and have control of the game, they earn their victory definitively. That has come against three previous playoff teams last season in beating Minnesota, Washington, and […]
49ers’ McCaffrey battled frustration before big game vs. Falcons: ‘I’m my biggest critic’ (paywall)“He’s just so efficient, he does everything right,” Falcons linebacker Kaden Elliss said Sunday. “It’s not like McCaffrey’s really dancing out there, but he reads everything perfectly. He’s so precise with his run game, his catch game. He’s a great player. You […]
The Hawks at long last tipped off their season against the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday night in State Farm Arena. Atlanta deployed their expected new lineup with Kristaps Porzingis at the five to make his Hawks debut.

With the Eastern Conference in flux, several teams made renovations to their rosters in an attempt to plant a flag on one of the available playoff spots. On a night when two teams finally got the chance to debut their starting lineups in a meaningful game, it was the Toronto Raptors who staked their claim […]
The national media’s biggest talking point surrounding our Miami Dolphins prior to the kickoff of the season was more of a question, based on the idea that no one really understood what the team was doing or trying to do. We fans were, as usual, divided, with some believing disaster was inevitable due to the […]

The San Francisco 49ers promoted edge rusher Robert Beal Jr to the active roster. To make room for him, Trevis Gipson was released. Gipson played 17 defensive snaps against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 7. He’s played 41 snaps in the past three weeks, while Beal has not played since Week 4 against the Jacksonville […]
Several people have asked me about Storm Norton over the past couple of weeks, and we finally have an answer. The Falcons announced Wednesday that they would officially designate Norton to return from IR. Designating Norton to return opened up his 21-day practice window. The injury report for Wednesday was released shortly after I hit […]
It takes a village to replace Divine Deablo, apparently. Falcons defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich made that clear on Wednesday in remarks to media, when he said a mix of linebackers and defensive backs will be deployed to fill his role. Part of that is owing to Deablo, a converted safety, having a mix of linebacker […]
By pretty much any metric you’d choose, the Chicago Cubs had a top five-ish offense this year in Major League Baseball, even as they suffered through significant dips at times throughout the season. It’s unsurprising, then, that the Cubs are pretty well represented on the list of National League Silver Slugger finalists this year. From MLB.com : First base: Pete Alonso, New York Mets; Freddie Freeman, Los Angeles Dodgers; Matt Olson, Atlanta Braves Second base: Nico Hoerner, C...
The San Francisco 49ers stand at 5-2 after a 20-10 victory over the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday Night Football, moving them to the No. 2 seed in the NFC. That came without star linebacker Fred Warner, who suffered a season-ending injury in San Francisco’s 30-19 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but the defense still […]
A week after I asked whether the NFC South is good, everyone outside the Panthers lost — troubling. The Buccaneers ran out of magic, and the Falcons continue to yo-yo, while the Saints continue on their downward trajectory. Here’s the Week 7 NFC South Review: Tampa Bay Buccaneers (5-2) Week 7 Result: Buccaneers 9 – […]

The Atlanta Falcons disapointed in primetime, but we still saw performances that give us hope the team can get back on track. We also saw some that will keep them off the track if they can’t adjust in time. Here’s the Week 7 3 up and 3 down. 3 up Jake Matthews 184 consecutive starts […]

After a promising rookie season as the No. 1 overall pick, Zaccharie Risacher came into his second year looking bigger, stronger, and (maybe) taller. He also came back with a new hairstyle. Nonetheless, Risacher showed a lot of things to be excited for last season. He wasn’t the typical No. 1 pick who had a […]
That loss to the 49ers was a tough one, but as many sober-minded observers have pointed out, the Falcons being at 3-3 with their early season schedule is hardly a disaster. Now they have to win a bunch of games they’re supposed to win to make that start mean anything. That begins with the Miami […]
Why 49ers coaching is NFL’s best this year, and Bears running wild: Week 7 film review (paywall)“The 49ers staff was on top of breaking its own tendencies and staying on top of the Falcons’ tendencies. It was the difference in the game in which the Falcons had a significant health advantage. On top of the […]
