The Falcons won ugly last week. Did that prove anything about this teams ability to win the Super Bowl? Week 12 preview.

Via Football Extra Points  |  November 23, 2012
The Falcons have not performed in the playoffs with Matt Ryan at QB.  This is the season to show what this team is really made of. After going a red hot 13-1 in week 11, I went 2-1 on Thanksgiving day.  For the season that makes it 106-57.  I'm still in striking distance of .750 for the season. Let's take a look at week 12.

Falcons continue to win but can they do so when it counts?

Via The Penalty Flag  |  November 23, 2012
Mike Smith, Matt Ryan and Roddy White know all about winning. You see, they have been here before and quite often. It started back in 2008 when Mike Smith was named NFL Coach of the Year and quarterback Matt Ryan earned the Offensive Rookie of the Year Award. It was supposed to be a rebuilding year coming off a 4-12 record and a dog fighting scandal, but the Falcons shocked everyone...

Falcons' Ryan: Still confident after interceptions

Via AP on Fox  |  November 21, 2012
Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan hopes he never has to endure another five-interception game. It sounds simple, but Ryan breaks down last week's narrow victory over Arizona as a learning experience that could have ended much worse. Despite his career-high five picks, Ryan still helped the Falcons (9-1) squeak past the Cardinals to maintain a three-game lead over second...

Via 60 Max Power O  |  November 22, 2012
Atlanta Falcons LB Sean Weatherspoon returned to practice Wednesday, albeit in a work jumpsuit. He missed the last three games with a right ankle injury. “This is just my coming back to work suit,” he said.“That’s all that it is. I got a chance to get out there with the guys a little bit for the walk-through. I’m feeling pretty good, so I’m looking forward to practice...

Bucs game day: Keys to the game against the Falcons

Via The Bay Cave  |  November 23, 2012
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers host one of the best teams in the NFL and the NFC South division leader Atlanta Falcons. But Atlanta has seen it’s fair share of close calls this season and the Bucs could very well hand them their second loss of the season. Secondary needs to step up this week. Bucs have been at the bottom of the NFL ranks all season against the pass. Matt Ryan and the...

Falcons linebacker Sean Weatherspoon hopes to be cleared to play after practicing on Wednesday for the first time in three weeks.

Eliminate the Suicide Week 12 – The Green is Greener in the End Zone

Via Razzball Football  |  November 24, 2012
If week 11 in the NFL had one name assigned to it, it would be Houdini.  The smoke and mirrors used by Houston, Dallas, Tampa Bay, and Atlanta to magically pull victories out of strait jackets is nothing short of miraculous.  The top suicide picks all managed to inch out wins in dramatically late fashion:  Matt Ryan throws five interceptions yet the Falcons fly passed the Cardinals...

Game Preview: Atlanta Falcons at Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Via Metta Chronicles  |  November 23, 2012
*This article was originally written for AccuScore.com At the midpoint of the NFL season, two of the biggest surprises have been from two NFC South teams, the Atlanta Falcons and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Though the Falcons have made the playoffs three out of the previous four seasons, no one expected the Mike Smith coached team to sport the league’s best record while winning multiple...

Falcons vs Bucs

Via Grits Blitz  |  November 24, 2012
It's been a slow week here at the Grits Blitz as we've been filling our bellies full of turkey and hoping that the Falcons can pull out of this funk that they have been in recently. That sounds weird for a 9-1 team, doesn't it? I bet the Jets (4-7) sure wish that their funk had a 9-1 smell to it. Anyway, this is a big divisional game with the Bucs. The Falcons come...

Atlanta Falcons at Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Week 12 NFL Pick

Via The Football Fan Spot  |  November 23, 2012
Atlanta Falcons (9-1) at Tampa Bay Buccaneers (6-4) The Falcons may be 9-1 and the Buccaneers may be 6-4, but the Buccaneers are playing better football right now. They’ve had 5 wins by a touchdown or less against sub .500 teams, including 4 at home. Denver is the only team better than .500 they beat and that was back week 2 before Denver got hot. Despite their 9-1 record, they...

Arizona Cardinals: Week 12 NFL Power Rankings (#22)

Via The Football Fan Spot  |  November 21, 2012
Last week: 23 (+1) Record: 4-6 I’ve watched a lot of football, but I saw two things I’ve never seen before in the Falcons/Cardinals game this week. First, Matt Ryan won despite throwing 5 interceptions and no touchdowns, the first time that’s happened since the merger (Bart Starr did it last). Second, the Cardinals benched John Skelton despite a 13-0 lead. I don’t have any...

NFL Week 12 Picks

Via Heff's Sports Blog  |  November 21, 2012
LAST WEEK: 13-1 SEASON: 106-52-1 (67%) Def. I'm just going to say what happened last week against the Jaguars was a fluke. The Texans need this win to prove that they are still the best in the NFL. Def. I could really go either way on this one, but the Cowboys are still a better team. Because of that, I think the Cowboys will pull off the...
