Reports: Falcons TE Tony Gonzalez to retire after 2012 season
Atlanta Falcons tight end Tony Gonzalez re-defined how people think about the position. Gonzalez’s athleticism and great hands–he was just as good of a basketball player for the California Bears– allowed the Kansas City Chiefs and Atlanta Falcons to use him as a pass-catching threat, not just an edge blocker.
Gonzalez is a first-ballot Hall of Famer, an honor which...

Tentatively, at least. “One year,” Gonzalez replied when asked on a Facebook chat Thursday how many more seasons he’ll play. “I…

Moneyball 2011 – Week 18 Review
I know I’ve said this a couple of times already this year, but this was really hard game to re-watch. It felt like getting a prostate exam. The Falcons just looked inept on offense in this game, and seemed like some 6-10 team that had won a door prize to get into the playoffs, rather than the 10-6 team we saw most of the year.
Matt Ryan did not play well in this game. He was...

New York Giants 24, Atlanta Falcons 2
The Atlanta Falcons had a day to forget yesterday. They scored only on a Eli Manning safety when he grounded the ball in the end zone. The offense did next to nothing against the Giants’ D. Matt Ryan completed 24 of 41 passes for 199 yards without a TD pass or INT. Michael Turner led the way for the Falcons in the running game with 41 yards on 15 carries (2.7 ypc). ...
