Sunlight is a great disinfectant, as the saying goes, and in the harsh light of the morning a great many truths can be seen.

The gloom was pervasive, and it wasn’t just the weather. This Atlanta Falcons team had everything to play for—a small chance to climb the ladder in the NFC South, pride, their coaching staff, one another, and even not handing a top ten pick to the Rams in 2026—and they simply weren’t good enough to beat […]

This is a low point for the Falcons. Losing to this New York Jets team that just went on a fire sale feels like the final straw for the Terry Fontenot-Raheem Morris era. If it is, then they picked the perfect note to leave on. There is no better encapsulation of why the Falcons need […]

Hail, traveler! It’s nearly time for Falcons football again. This time out, it’ll be a Falcons – Jets game, a series where the Falcons and Jets have managed to score over 28 points just once, when New York did it in 2013. These games tend to be close, they tend to be unspeakably ugly, and […]
