The Atlanta Falcons were viewed as a darkhorse Super Bowl contender by many going into this season, including myself.

Despite a recent resurgence from his team, Atlanta Falcons head coach Dan Quinn definitely remains on the hot seat.

Quinn has now publicly […]

When a team starts a season as horrible as the Atlanta Falcons’ 1-7 start, there are multiple approaches a team can make to turn the season for the better. However, Dan Quinn believes that the best move for his team is to treat the last eight games of the season as a brand-new season. The […]

Just looking […]

The Atlanta Falcons had high expectations coming into the season, but they have not come even close to living up to those. Coming into their Week 7 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams, the Falcons only have one win, and their season might already be lost, but if it’s not, a loss in this game […]
