“Soar, You Mighty Wing’d Beasts” – The Falcons at their Bye

Beerguyrob - October 10, 2025October 9, 2025

Look - can I be honest here for a second? A Week 5 bye is hardly something to measure a team against unless they are 4-0 or 0-4. The Falcons at 2-2 are the worst kind of temperate because of how they got here: Week 1 - lost to the Bucs by

Well, here we are again. Welcome, everyone, to the Atlanta Falcons, Having covered the Falcons for [DFO] since 2018, I've decided the time has come for an intervention.

Beerguyrob - November 17, 2023November 17, 2023

Hi everyone, It's me, Beerguyrob, back from the bargaining table with another Bye Week update, this time for the Atlanta Falcons. The Falcons sit 4-6 at their bye, and for the life of me I can’t remember any of their wins beyond the Green Bay one, and that’s only because of my Packers

I know what you're thinking - "Wait - what the hell is he doing here?" Hold on, pretty deaf girl. I never said I was leaving, just abandoning my Open Thread responsibilities because of an anticipated bump in real-life workload. In fact, it's already started. Summer school finished last Friday, and people

“Even Sherman Thinks That’s Enough” – The Falcons Off Their Bye

Beerguyrob - November 18, 2020November 17, 2020

The problem with following Senor's post about the Jets is that he used all the good words & euphemisms for "bad". But what about other teams that suck? The Atlanta Falcons surely qualify for such words, as they were in a Super Bowl as recently as... oh fuck it, here's the

“So It’s Come To This” – A 2019 Atlanta Falcons Season Preview

Beerguyrob - August 8, 2019August 8, 2019

As God is my witness, I had no idea where to go with this year's preview. I have covered the Falcons for [DFO] for the last three years, each with diminishing returns: 2016 - NFC Champion; lost to Patriots in Super Bowl - compared them to types of mayonnaise 2017 -

“This Beer Tastes Like Ass!” – The Falcons At Their Bye

Team Previews

Beerguyrob - September 3, 2018August 31, 2018

I'm not sure why this team has fallen to me to preview over the years. Rikki covered them in the initial year of the site, and I think did a damn fine job half-assing it. Me - well, I didn't even muster half of that half-ass when I did the
