A Very Falcoholic Discussion: Your All-Time Favorite Falcon
via cache.gettyimages.com I first saw Jessie Tuggle play football in 1990, when I was six years old. I couldn't tell you the game if I had a gun held to my head, but it's hard to forget Tuggle. The dude looked like he was chiseled out of granite, with a helmet and pads thrown on for good...
Curtis Lofton: The Falcons' Defensive Anchor?
via media.signonsandiego.com Out of all the things that have come out of the minicamp so far, the most critical might be the subtle development of Curtis Lofton. One of the team's rising young stars, Lofton has lost a little weight, says he's more ready than he's ever been for the pace of the...
It's Saturday And We're Talking Falcon Linebackers
Sometimes these discussions really are as simple as the title of the post. I gotta give you all a break every now and then, right? In case you missed it, the Falcons signed free agent linebacker Edmond Miles earlier this week. He's probably got a chance to contribute on special teams, but it's...
A Very Falcoholic Discussion: The Need For A Need Based Draft
If you take Mike Smith at his word, this team is hungrier than a pack of wolves at an outdoor BBQ. Smith told the official site that his team just has to stay humble through the a gauntlet of fan gratitude and go out there ready to plant their collective foot in another team's hindquarters. I...
Curtis Lofton Has A Bright Falcon Future

The Atlanta Falcons Meet The Scouting Combine
Well, this was supposed to be an entry on using the scouting combine as one tool in evaluating prospects. What happened to the text, I don't know. I don't have the time right now to put my thoughts in full back out there, but please discuss what you want to see out of the combine and how important...
Atlanta Falcons: Our Kingdom For A Pass Rush
With all the talk of secondaries and pass rushes and Panthers games, oh my, I figured it was time to talk about one of the Falcons' most glaring weaknesses. No, it's not their abiding love of chocolate or their tendency to stand awkwardly in front of the cast of Oklahoma! It's the pass...
Falcons and Broncos Recap: Birds Get Trampled
It was bound to happen sooner or later. The Falcons played a pretty flat game of football yestserday. The Broncos, not exactly konwn for their defensive prowess, shut down the run for much of the day and even picked off Matt Ryan. It wasn't a particularly fun game to watch because of that, but I...
Michael Boley Regaining Monstrous Form?
Unlike the stock market, Michael Boley is trending upward. Zing! I'd make quite the economic pundit, no? But Boley's hopeful resurgence is much more important to us today than the fact that many of us are eating bowls of nails for breakfast. Boley rose from obscurity to become one of the league's...
Falcons vs. Panthers Recap: An Excruciating Bore
I almost think the blowout is less painful than the game you coulda, woulda, shoulda won. The Atlanta Falcons marched into Bank of America Stadium and blew the game against the Carolina Panthers thanks to a pitiful performance from the offense. While the numbers show a mediocre performance, the...
