May 20, 2024 | thefalcoholic.com | William McFadden

Photo by Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images The Atlanta Falcons’ schedule was released last week, giving everyone a chance to imagine how things will unfold for the team over the course of 18 weeks this Fall.

How QB Michael Penix Jr. Fits with the Atlanta Falcons

Apr 26, 2024 | thefalcoholic.com | William McFadden

Photo by Brandon Sloter/Image Of Sport/Getty Images The Falcons made the first major surprise of the 2024 NFL Draft by selecting Washington quarterback Michael Penix with the No. 8 overall pick.

Photo by Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images We’re just hours away from the start of the 2024 NFL Draft, and the Falcons are among the teams reportedly involved in trade talks. That shouldn’t come as a major surprise, as it’s been clear for weeks that Atlanta could be in a prime spot to draw interest as a potential trade partner.

Raheem Morris is ready for this moment

Apr 16, 2024 | bvmsports.com | William McFadden

By William McFadden via The Falcoholic, Jourdan Rodrigue joined Bleav in Falcons to discuss what Morris meant to the Rams and what Atlanta can expect from their new head coach and coordinators. When the Falcons began their search for their next head coach, some of the most renowned coaches of the last two decades were viewed as top options. But they didn't make Bill Belichick or Jim Harbaugh the next leader of their organization.
