No really, and he has a reward to prove it. This future HOF'er is a true pro's pro.

In my very subjective opinion, this is an remarkable display of insanity. It's disgusting, not funny and shows incredibly poor judgment. I really hope no other Atlanta fans think and talk like that, cause we ain't the franchise (and the fanbase) to go to these lows usually. What were they thinking? Now we're gonna have a heated up week 1 for sure, all because of those idiots.

In case you want to put the NFCG all on one thing. Matt Ryan himself along with Pete Prisco explains how the whole game needs to be viewed holistically, and it's no different than any other game. This show there were really a lot of different little things that went wrong which was very uncharacteristic of the Falcons to have so many missed opportunities in just one game.

At least FOs game charting project, which looks at every pass a CB spent in coverage in a given season, indicates so. McClain lead all CBs with 4.7 Yards/Pass allowed and ranked third in succes rate. Amazing numbers for our newly discovered gem.

NFL and NFLPA are on verge of pushing back draft to May and moving up start of league year to before combine, per sources.— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) May 20, 2013

Mr. Falcon (NOT to be confused with the original Mister Falcon, Tommy Nobis) has a music video where he sings about Little Mr. Falcon. Though this has nothing to do with our football heroes, I thought some of you might find this noteworthy and/or amusing. Advance apologies if I (or Mr. Falcon) offend.

Using their concept of Game Scripts - which accounts for score at any given moment of all 16 games - PFR presented the numbers for the 2012 season looking at how much of passing identity each team had. The Falcons, despite what conventional stats tell us, were actually the most pass happy offense last year: "The Falcons come in as the most pass-happy team of 2012, once you account for situation. Atlanta was a 13-win team last year, so ranking 8th in pass attempts and 26th in rush attempts despite that record requires a significant devotion to the passing game. Of course with Matt Ryan, Julio Jones, Roddy White, and Tony Gonzalez, that makes perfect sense." Indeed, it does.

Seventeen rookies will duke it out for an invitation to camp. Perhaps one or two will make it out.
