Today in Sports History: October 25th
10/25/1964 - Marshall runs the wrong way Jim Marshall had a terrific 20-year career in the NFL. He set numerous records for endurance -- playing in 282 consecutive games -- and was among the all-time leaders in sacks and fumble recoveries. That being said, he is also known for committing one of...
The Atlanta Falcons Are Playoff Bound!
I lost power after the game last night, so this is coming on a bit late. Today is a day to celebrate. Whether you think we can pull off a higher seeding is irrelevant, at least for the whole of Monday. What you need to do today is celebrate the fact that the Falcons--our Falcons--have just...
Falcons and Saints Recap: Losing Ain't Easy
There's a phenomenon preculiar to the frozen north that I think is particularly relevant here. Here in New England, the first day of snowfall is an auspicious occasion. People like me smile and enjoy the snow, while people not like me totally friggin' forget how to drive. The mere sight of a...
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...
Falcons vs. Raiders Recap: Complete And Utter Dominance
We've seen the Falcons do some pretty impressive things this season. We just hadn't seen them shut out a team and beat them so badly that the tears rolled freely from under their silver-and-black helmets. Until yesterday, that is. The Falcons clearly drew a line between themselves and the league's...
Falcons and Bears Recap: Today We Sup On Glory
4-2. Let that soak in for a minute. Say it, let it roll around pleasantly in your head like the marble you put in your ear when you were four years old. Exult in the Falcons this day. Today, we are all Falcoholics. With that in mind, join me after the jump for all things 22-20, er, Falcons....
Falcons at Packers Recap: How Lambeau Was Won
This season has turned into a rollercoaster. Last week I was bitter and angry about the way the game against the Panthers, and this week I have a spring in my step and a song in my heart after we edged the Packers. There's simply no figuring out how this team will play from week to week.One thing...
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...
Falcons vs. Bucs Recap: When Good Games Go Bad
I think many of us were feeling pretty good about the Falcons after the first week of the season. After all, though we knew the Lions were an awful team, we beat them so thoroughly that it seemed as though we should at least be able to hang in the game with most of the average teams in the...
Falcons vs. Lions Recap: What A Wonderful World
I still haven't come down off of my huge, pillowy cloud after yesterday's game. If there's something better in football than a completely unexpected win that like, it's only a completely unexpected playoff win. What a great feeling. So while we're all enjoying this tremendously, I thought I'd take...
