Panthers quarterback Sam Darnold says he hasn't gotten the vaccine for Covid-19 yet. He's still evaluating the situation. Coach Matt Rhule said he isn't telling any players they have to get the shot, allowing them to make their...
Grady Jarrett hates Tom Brady with all of his heart and sacks him there, but the officiating crew emerges from Brady's pocket to call a bullshit roughing the passer and keep this drive alive
I know I say something like this every week, but if you are still a Falcons fan after all this time, you are either deeply brave or deeply broken. Either way, thanks for ensuring it's never lonely
Look, sure, Desmond Ridder looked pretty good. And yes, the Falcons won a rare preseason game. But does that mean we're ready to all board the Ridder train and declare the future settled?
Yes. Find your tickets, losers
NOOO! I do not wanna believe my brother is dead! I cannot take this anymore, life is too short...I just know you’re now in a better place now than this place we call Earth

...I love you bro, and will miss youu 😭
Falcons fandom is like going to the same coffee shop every morning, asking for two creams and no sugars, having every employee in there jump over the counter and beat the hell out of you, and then coming back the next morning.
I don't know what any of us expect

CB Richard Sherman has told teammates goodbye over the past 24 hours, sources say, and that he won’t be on the team. Those close to him say nothing is set in stone and there has been no official word. But clearly bears watching.

what the star NFL quarterback thinks about "players kneeling again when the NFL season starts."

: “I will never agree with anybody disrespecting the flag of the United States of America or our country.”
Full exchange:
I guess it's time to call it: Matt Ryan was a better pick than Glenn Dorsey.
Walked into what we all thought was a bad situation and was immediately successful, delivered a run of success this franchise had never seen before, leaves the best QB in team history. Gonna miss him
The Falcons had the wrong number when they first tried reaching out to Washington edge Bralen Trice. "My agent texted and said, 'Answer your phone.' I’m like, 'I’m not getting any calls.'"

Bit of a gulf there
Thanks for spending a frustrating, largely miserable season with us. It's all over for the Falcons, but we will hope 2021 brings us better football and a cheerier year. Appreciate all of you and go Falcons, always
You all deserve this. You've got busy lives and a lot going on, and cheering for a losing football team isn't easy in light of that. Hope you enjoyed today
Koo drills it and the Falcons win 21-19. Ridder's best game as a pro, another good effort from the defense, and the kind of game you gotta win at home.
Can't overstate how big that win was, no matter how bumpy the road was to it
Vaughn was one of the hardest-working men I knew, a reporter of integrity and conscience and someone I trusted implicitly from the moment I met him. He was also a great friend of mine and someone I love very, very much. What an incredible loss
If they hire him, Joe Brady would be the second consecutive Falcons head coach to have two first names as his first and last name, following Dan Quinn. You have to think he'd have a strong bond with Matt Ryan for that reason, as well.

No, wait. That's in the wrong order
Also, I didn't line these up correctly
The third photo is a squirrel I'm so sorry
Matt Ryan scrambling like he was possessed by the ghost of Michael Vick but Vick was like "what are these legs, these are not legs I'm used to" and he sort of made the best of it but that was good enough
If you were running a long-term social experiment dedicated to seeing what people could withstand from something they ostensibly like you could not come up with something more diabolical than the Atlanta Falcons
A Falcons fan can't simply mind his or her business on the internet every day without a major NFL account being like "hey remember this bullshit, loser? Bet you hated that"
Thanks for staying up late to watch the Falcons go 0-4 for the first time since 1999. The upshot is we all secretly love being disappointed and there's no cure for that, but the camaraderie is nice
Thanks for watching with us. That was the best win of the season, arguably the most complete effort of the season, and a testament to how much better this team is in 2022.
Enjoy it, we haven't been able to feel this good about the team for a long time
Is it good to know this team is actually as capable as we thought they were heading into the year? Yes.
Is it beyond frustrating that they had to string together seven losses in their first eight games before figuring it out? Also yes.
Gonna go ahead and address this now before any big news breaks: We're going to cover the Falcons the way we always do. That's going to include being critical where we feel it's warranted, and you won't be surprised we think there's things to be critical about right now.
