The Laurent Robinson Trade And Its Aftermath
via cache.daylife.com Make no mistake, trading Laurent Robinson isn't going to bring the Atlanta Falcon empire to its knees. By the time the draft rolls around, chances are pretty good most of us will have stopped thinking about him altogether. It becomes easy to do after a guy spends almost an...
The Falcons Should Pursue Free Agent Receiver D.J. Hackett
via www.panthers.com You're reading the title of this post and shaking your head, aren't you? You must think ol' Dave the Falconer is crazy as Terrell Owens in outer space, huh? Well, you're absolutely right, but hear me out regardless. D.J. Hackett is a guy who barely managed to get on the...
Falcons And Vikings Recap: The Playoff Team Cometh
There are so few teams who manage to achieve immortality, but I do believe the 2008 Atlanta Falcons will be one of them. I can't imagine a more profound transformation than the one this team has gone through. The Falcons weren't just a caterpillar that turned into a butterfly; they were a steaming...
Falcons and Bucs Recap: There's No Shame In Winning Ugly
Sometimes you can't win with elegance and class. Sometimes you have to smash their faces in the dirt, take a couple on the chin and use a bunch of fighting metaphors. This is one of those times. The Falcons looked downright incompetent against the Bucs at times, but it didn't matter. The...
Falcons and Chargers Recap: The Win Is The Thing
Again, the Falcons made things more difficult than they needed to be. Then the referees joined in the fun by donning Chargers jerseys and enthusiastically blowing their whistles. Then the Falcons continued to make it more difficult than it needed to be. Here's the thing, though. We still won....
Falcons Ink New Deals With Mike Jenkins, Jon Babineaux
For much of the year, the focus has been on how well the Falcons have made their present situation a sunny one. On Tuesday, they took a step toward securing that future by locking up a couple members of the team. In my mind, both of these moves are solid without being slam dunks. Michael Jenkins...
Roddy White Sits Out His Second Practice Of The Week
The mere mention of a Roddy White injury causes me to burst into tears, so this back bruise business has me throwing a hysterical fit. Mind you, Rowdy Roddy is still pretty likely to play against the Panthers. The issue here is that White may be starting to get a little banged up after being...
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. Saints: Cheers For An August Autumn
The Falcons have triumphed. At every turn, the Falcons have met a new obstacle. They've been asked to win more than they did last year, and they have. They've been asked to beat a quality team, and instead they beat two. They've been asked to beat a division rival, and they smoked them. They have...
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...
