Jeff Schultz wants you to change your name

Apperently, you won some kind of contest to get linked on his blogroll but he did call the blog falconholic. Jeff writes "The Falconoholic is written by "Dave The Falconer" (of course). It’s well put together, frequently updated and is written for a quick, easy read"

Looks like the team is doing a 180 on their dumping of Stecker. Thought so.

Michael Turner's Injury Could Be Serious

Hate to be the bearer of bad news folks, but this is not a good situation at all. We need Jerious to get healthy ASAP.

Also, Michael Jenkins is on the injury list with an illness. How does this affect the Falcons heading into Sunday's game?

Len Pasquarelli's Midseason All-Pro Team

The link is to his Defensive All-Pro Team, which includes Defensive Tackle Jonathan Babineaux. He was the only Falcon selected. Pretty good list overall (even though he has 12 guys on defense). Only a couple head-scratchers here.

I believe New Orleans will get to 12-0, then lose to the Falcons in the Georgia Dome.

I believe New Orleans will get to 12-0, then lose to the Falcons in the Georgia Dome.

From Jim Trotter's 2009 NFL Predictions for second half of season.

So there we have it, straight from Trotter's mouth: Saints lose to Falcons in the Dome. I'm liking that prediction.

Falcons 2009 Autographed Ornaments Now On Sale

Ok gang, I don't ask much of you outside of some awesome analysis, but this time, I'm reaching for your wallets. Don't worry, it's for a good cause! Every year, the Falcons team up with CHOA (Children's Healthcare of Atlanta) to sell $11.00 Autographed ornaments as a fundraiser. The Ornaments are auto'd by both players and Coach Smith, and are handed out randomly (no picking and choosing). The $11.00 is pure donation, fyi. Give to a great cause, get a Falcons autograph. It's a good deal.

"Josh is well ahead of where I thought he'd be. He will decide what we become as a team. He is our future.''
--Tampa Bay coach Raheem Morris, after the first start of first-round pick Josh Freeman's NFL career resulted in a 38-28 upset of the Packers at Raymond James Stadium.
No pressure, kid.

Anyone see if Fish or Smith actually touched him?

If not, I suppose Singletary can expect a complaint from Harvey "I'll Eat Your Face" Dahl in the near future ...

Ex-Football Exec Sounds the Alarm re: Head Trauma

I know we get caught up in demanding so much from our Birds, but we rarely reflect on where the Todd Weiners (i.e., retired NFLers who played for your favorite team) of the world find themselves 20 years down the road.

An interesting read to say the least ...
