The excitement generated this offseason about a potential Arthur Smith offense more than likely set expectations too high. Still, after getting the doors blown off them in the season opener, Falcons fans are generally disinterested in the team at this point. Last week, Atlanta traveled down to Raymond James Field in a divisional matchup with
The Hawks General Manager Travis Schlenk had a press conference Friday morning ahead of training camp next week. Various topics were covered, including Kevin Huerter‘s contract negotiations, but most importantly, Schlenk delved into the health of several key contributors.

The Falcons and Giants matchup this Sunday in MetLife stadium could have the makings for a pretty unwatchable game, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t money to be made!

The Falcons are one of seven winless teams going into Week 3 and will face a New York Giants team that has also yet to secure their first victory this season. After being trounced by the Eagles in Week 1, many fans and media members immediately labeled the Falcons one of the worst teams in
The Isaiah Oliver saga in Atlanta has been an interesting one, to say the least. Many fans have long resorted to social media to vent their frustrations with the former second-round pick, but who could blame them. Oliver was incredibly inconsistent, and last year was no different. Oliver began the 2020 season starting opposite rookie
