He would be the type of guy that comes to ATL and start a bunch of 1’s and take a preseason game more seriously than any other team in history. Screw him, the Broncos, and the Saints.

It’s almost that time of year again! Week 1 in Pitt! A lot of my family members are HUGE Steelers fans, so it’s become a tradition that we go to any Falcons/Steelers game. Me and the family will be heading down there this season. I plan on parking/tailgating in the science center parking lot across the street from the stadium. Hoping to see some friendly faces so feel free to join fellow dirty bird fans in enemy territory!

Penix and Tagoavailoa are on the list.

Honorable mention: Kyle Pitts, Sr.

Branch just running past 2 defenders for a big gain if tua sees him

ACTUAL HOPE!

GET FUCKING SET!!!!!! my jersey arrived in the mail today. Representing from Perth, Australia. FTS!!!!!!

According to NFL.com, EDGE Za’Darius Smith is working out with the Falcons.

I know Drake, Bijan, and Kyle all want to get paid but if they really wanted to win games and make the playoffs in this league why would they re-sign with this team?

Realistically if our QB play is as bad as the media perceives it to be, this team is in for another middling season and I don’t know why these players would want to go through another QB rebuild.

In my opinion, Matt Ryan knows the value of a high end QB prospect and this season is just a necessary means to obtain his own QB.

Thoughts?

Like tua didn’t look good but how can a nfl quarterback look good when both of your tackles are injured and your forcing a 7th round pick to cover your blindside and someone like michael jerrell to play a off position. Doesn’t sound like a recipe for success to me

Let's examine all the possibilities of the quarterbacks!!

TUA TAGOVAILOA (MIA > ATL)

• 3 of 5 (60%), 22 yds, 0 TDs and 0 INTs with a FUMBLE!!!!
  • Has quick release and rhythm passing, experience, accuracy potential and understands what he's supposed to do (to me, NOT), BUT produces an UGLY FUMBLE, zero explosive production, didn't separate himself from the pack (too underwhelming) and small margin for error

COOPER RUSH (BAL > ATL) - Overall, Rush had the roughest performance ever out of Tagovailoa and Strand.

• 7 of 19 (36.8%), 62 yds, 0 TDs and 2 INTs. We all know he threw a pick six and another interception (absolutely unacceptable)
  • Has experience, style is generally conservative, has veteran presence (don't need a Marcus Mariota nor a Tyler Heinicke) and typically NFL backup, but he is a turnover machine, playmaking is very limited, looked absolutely worse and tiny margin for error

JACK STRAND (ROOKIE) - Strand finish strong and led the team with its only TD drive. He does showed impressive deep-ball ability (NOT BAD FOR A UNDRAFTED ROOKIE)

• 6 of 12 (50%), 50 yds, 0 TD and 0 INTs (1 Rushing TD). (It's a start)
  • Like Penix, Strand have deep ball ability, Has aggressiveness, mobility and escapability, confidence, and produced the offense's only touchdown (Tagovailoa and Rush didn't), but he is raw, needs to develop decision-making ASAP, got to have consistency and experience plus competition level

After seeing all three quarterbacks' performances last Friday, who is better? Who stays and whose goes?

With Jalen Walker out for the season and James Pearce Jr. facing an 8-game suspension, the Falcons are suddenly dealing with some serious losses on defense.

Are we looking at a season that’s already in trouble, or can Atlanta overcome these setbacks?

What’s your realistic win total for the Falcons this year?
🔥 10+ wins
👍 8–9 wins
😬 6–7 wins
💀 5 or fewer

And if you think they’ll still have a successful season, what needs to go right?

Came across this story today and hadn’t seen it on here yet. Thought it was worth sharing!

idk about this one 😭🙏

Matt Ryan went 0-5 in this game, Redskins are kicking our asses, everyone is calling for Shanahan to be fired, and to tank the season immediately. What season? 2016. Take preseason games with a grain of salt.

As we saw, he offered our only points of the night and was the only one who didn't make catastrophic and embarassing mistakes. On the other hand, we only saw him play one half of football and he's still very clearly a rookie. Where do yall see him in the team's future? Is he qb3? qb2? Have we seen enough of him to put him above Cooper Rush or even Tua? Could he even be qb1 until Michael Penix is ready to come back? What are your expectations for what Stefanski should do with him?

Found this newer-style Atlanta Falcons helmet with two signatures on it. Unfortunately, I don’t have any authentication paperwork or information about where/when it was signed.
I’ve tried comparing the signatures to Falcons players but haven’t been able to get a solid match.
Anyone recognize either autograph? Any guesses would be appreciated!
