Arthur Smith's Atlanta Falcons go into the 2022 season with the joint lowest total wins over/under in Vegas at just 4.5. The general consensus amongst the media and fans alike is that Atlanta will be one of the worst teams in the league in the upcoming season. If Smith can get his team to replicate the 7-10 record they had last season, most fans would consider that a successful season as Atlanta begin life without long time franchise quarterback Matt Ryan. Only five franchises have a longer playoff drought then the Falcons. Notes From Last Season Positives Offensive weapon Cordarelle Patterson exceeded everyones expectations after signing a one year deal with the Falcons. In Arthur Smiths offense, he had career highs in receptions, receiving yards, receiving touchdowns, rushes, rushing yards and rushing touchdowns. Patterson re-signed on a two year $10.5 million deal in March. Cornerback AJ Terrell earned himself a place on APs second team All Pro line up. He...
Matt Ryan is the greatest Atlanta Falcon of all time. It is hard to put into words what he has meant to this team and city, but I'll try my best. First year General Manager Thomas Dimitroff selected Ryan with the 3rd overall pick in the 2008 draft. Atlanta were coming off the back of a 4-12 season. Michael Vick, who was the heart and soul of the Franchise had been arrested for dog fighting before the 2007 season. The City of Atlanta was in mourning. Vick had been more than a football player. He was an icon. In addition to that, head coach Bobby Petrino quit on the team halfway through the season. The organisation was a mess. In the 41 seasons pre-dating Matt Ryan, the Atlanta Falcons had never posted back to back winning seasons, they had won 3 divisional titles, appeared in the playoffs 8 times and made 1 Superbowl appearance. Matt Ryan's 14 year tenure as the Atlanta Falcons quarterback saw them win another 3 divisional titles, make 6 playoff appearances, win an NFC champions...
A Jalen Ramsey end zone interception sealed a nail-biting victory for the Los Angeles Rams as the Atlanta Falcons came dangerously close to pulling off an incredible win in SoFi Stadium. The Atlanta Falcons fought hard against the Los Angeles Rams, but their second half comeback fell short. Atlanta falls to 0-2 in the NFC South, and they will stay on the west coast, facing the Seattle Seahawks on the road next Sunday. Although Sunday ended it defeat, the Falcons showed their 2022 squad has a lot more character, than recent Falcons teams have had. The Game A promising opening Falcons drive stuttered near the Rams redzone, when Bobby Wagner rushed untouched through the B gap and sacked Marcus Mariota. Younghoe Koo missed his resulting 44 yard field goal on 4th down. A brilliantly choreographed Rams drive was capped off with a 1 yard touchdown grab by Allen Robinson, who beat AJ Terrell with a fade route. Terrell was beaten with ease and has been a concern through two weeks. Rams done a g...
