Ten games in and it’s over. The Atlanta Falcons justifiably fired Dan Quinn to embrace a rebuild they still haven’t finished, resulting in a team that Arthur Smith couldn’t pilot to a winning season and Raheem Morris can’t win with, either. This isn’t rock bottom because there is no such thing in the long dark abyss that is Atlanta Falcons football, but you’re not alone if you’re feeling mighty low after Sunday.

The Falcons came in intending to stop the run and did so, but then allowed almost 450 passing yards to Bryce Young in one of the most embarrassing...

I’m here to give you solace. That’s my job as the highlight reel guy here at The Falcoholic. But today, I’m going to be honest, it’s going to be a difficult task.

Five straight losses, essentially kicked out of the playoff picture before Toyotathon begins, swept by the Carolina Panthers for the first time since 2013, and potentially lost both the young, developing quarterback and top ten receiver to injury. This is a new low for the Raheem Morris era of Falcons football. Everyone should be calling for Morris and General Manager Terry Fontenot’s head as they exit the stadium....

The Falcons lost their fifth straight game on Sunday, and yet the news got even worse from there.

Michael Penix Jr., who had an impressive first half after struggling mightily the previous week, left the game with a knee injury. We didn’t have details immediately following the Panthers loss, but now we know that Penix probably aggravated the knee he injured earlier this year. That bone bruise kept him out for a week last time out, but given Penix’s injury history, the fact that the season is unquestionably lost, and the team wants him around for the long haul, my...

The Atlanta Falcons have lost five games in a row and are on pace to have one of their worst seasons in the last decade after getting swept by the Carolina Panthers. This is an unacceptable result for a staff whose expectations have been playoffs since they were hired. Here’s the Week 11 snap reactions.

Injuries in the secondary exposed

Bryce Young had another career day against the Falcons, who are singlehandedly keeping him employed. Natrone Brooks was thrown into action today. The UDFA had a promising preseason, but he was outmatched against the bigger and more physical Panthers...

The Falcons blew another fourth quarter lead after an anemic second half on offense, letting the Carolina Panthers sweep them for just the third time in franchise history. Kevin Knight and Allen Strk discuss the failures on both sides of the ball, the end of the 2025 season, and why it’s time to fire Raheem Morris and start to look to the future. Fellow Falcoholics, welcome to another episode of The Falcoholic Live!

The Falcons are incapable of playing a generic football game. They looked terrible at the start, and then rallied to go up 21-7 before a series of chips in their armor led to Carolina eventually taking a narrow lead very late in this one. The Falcons then somehow got in field goal range and narrowly made it overtime with Zane Gonzalez hitting the field goal try.

It was nerve-wracking, mistake-loaded for both teams, and featured some truly incredible mishaps on defense for Atlanta, which allowed Bryce Young to easily hit his career high in passing yards. In the end, the...

The Atlanta Falcons are hoping for a miraculous finish to their 2025 season, already at 3-6 and with no margin for error. Those hopes may have gone up in flames in Week 11 against the Panthers, as quarterback Michael Penix Jr. was hurt on a third down play and is questionable to return. Backup quarterback Kirk Cousins entered the game just before the start of the fourth quarter.

Penix was having one of his best games of the season, including an outstanding first half. The Falcons scored 21 points before halftime and took at 21-10 lead into the third quarter,...

Thanksgiving is right around the corner, which means the cream of the NFL is finally starting to rise, and the frauds are getting exposed. Teams are catching fire, others are falling apart, and 11 weeks into this season, I’m running out of clichés to explain the absolute chaos we’re watching every Sunday.

This was easily the toughest week yet when it came to sorting teams into tiers. Draft position, playoff readiness, and who actually has a realistic shot at competing for Super Bowl LX. All of it is pulling these rankings in different directions.

With the Indianapolis Colts and New...

It’s nearly time for the Falcons to seek revenge against the Panthers. Are you ready?

If not, blame the linear passage of time, because there’s no escaping it. Please use this as your open thread for the game ahead, and go Falcons!

There are no huge surprises on the Falcons’ active game day roster or the inactives list for Sunday’s matchup against the Carolina Panthers in Week 11. Drake London was listed as questionable heading into Sunday’s game with an illness and a back injury, but he is active for today’s game, so that is good news. The illness was just being a little under the weather from traveling to and from Germany last week, per Raheem Morris on Friday.

It’s hard to feel great about this defense looking at all of the injuries that have guys sidelined this week — **Dee...

As the Atlanta Falcons return home for the first time in a month to face the division rival Carolina Panthers, they are desperately looking for a rebound as they attempt to snap their four-game losing streak. Once again, I endeavor to name no more than five Falcon players who factor the most into their bounce-back potential.

Michael Penix

Chief among the Falcons needing a rebound on Sunday is quarterback Michael Penix. He’s coming off a rough performance in Germany against the Indianapolis Colts, and concerns surrounding the first-year starter skyrocketed after some out-of-context quotes about a lack of support...
