46+ min ago (570+ words) The Atlanta Falcons were right there at halftime against a playoff-bound Seattle Seahawks team. And then the dam broke on the first play of the second half. We were all expecting something like that to happen after leaving numerous opportunities on the field in the first half. I was a continuation of the story of the season, with this edition leading to their elimination from the playoffs. If Marquice Williams isn't fired after another awful performance by his special teams unit, the city of Atlanta will riot. Williams hasn't found a way to fix the special teams' massive issues. They aren't holding their lanes on kick coverage, aren't holding their blocks on returns, and struggle to protect on kicks. The only thing that has gone right is Bradley Pinion's punting. When you have a game like this, it requires nitpicking…...

51+ min ago (421+ words) The Atlanta Falcons have lost seven of their last eight games as their playoff hopes are all but diminished. But amid one of the darkest stretches in franchise history, there is nothing Raheem Morris could do or say to silence the concerns and the anger that is growing among the fanbase. The 37-9 blowout loss saw the Falcons fall to 4-8 as an eighth straight playoff-less season is becoming likely. After the the Seahawks outscored them 31-3 in the second half, Morris seems to be well aware his time in Atlanta is coming to an end, which led him to admit the fanbase deserves better. And as crazy as it sounds, Morris is right. The 49-year-old coach nearly led the Dirty Birds to the playoffs last year, but the dysfunction has been constant this season. However, what this fanbase truly deserves is a…...

1+ hour, 10+ min ago (447+ words) The Moose started off the road trip with a big 5-0 win over the Wolves on Wednesday night. They followed that up with a 3-0 loss to the Wild and were looking to earn a split in the final game of this three-game road trip, Only change from yesterday was in net as Winnipegger Isaac Poulter replaced Domenic DiVincentiis between the pipes. Barlow " Zhilkin " JAD Lambert " Yager " Fagemo Di Giuseppe " Ford " Chibrikov Shaw " Gustafsson " Duehr Heinola " Bauer Phillips " Clague Sautner " Frisch It was a quick start for the visitors as Kale Clague wired this one home just 17 seconds into the game to give the Moose a 1-0 lead. Shortly thereafter the Wild tied the game as Michael Milne, who spent quite a bit of time in Winnipeg with the Ice, tied it up on a quick counterstrike. And then shorthanded a poor pass…...

1+ hour, 22+ min ago (423+ words) With the way the Atlanta Falcons have played in the second half, you wouldn't even know they were tied with the Seattle Seahawks at halftime. In fact, officiating wiped a Falcons' touchdown off the board, so they could have led, but instead that 6-3 lead late in the first half feels like a distant memory. Raheem Morris' future in Atlanta has been in jeopardy for quite some time, but we were finally given answers on Sunday afternoon. The 37-9 loss saw the Dirty Birds get outscored 31-3 in the second half, which should all but confirm that Arthur Blank needs to pursue a change in leadership this winter. Despite entering the season with playoff expectations, the Falcons are sitting at 4-9 and have lost seven of their last eight games. For a talented roster that should be contending in the NFC, it makes no…...

1+ hour, 31+ min ago (540+ words) The Seattle Seahawks are making a habit of winning games with their defense and special teams, as their offense continues to sputter. Today's 37-9 road victory over the Atlanta Falcons was the latest example, as Seattle's offense got off to a rough start, including a nasty pick from Sam Darnold. The Seahawks' suffocating defense and explosive special teams unit held down the fort, though - and by the time the offense finally arrived in the third quarter it was over. Here are your studs and duds for Seattle in Week 14. It was only a matter of time before Seattle's shiny new weapon went off for a huge play when they needed it. Rashid Shaheed certainly got his money's worth on the opening play of the third quarter, breaking off a 100-yard touchdown on a kickoff return that changed the complexion of the…...

1+ hour, 55+ min ago (419+ words) No matter what happens, the Atlanta Falcons are allergic to winning football games. And in their Week 14 loss to the Seattle Seahawks, everything that could go wrong somehow went wrong. The Falcons were thrashed 37-9, and were officially eliminated from playoff contention after falling to 4-9 on the season. After a 3-2 start, the Dirty Birds have lost seven of their last eight games which culminated in perhaps their most embarrassing loss yet. The Falcons and Seahawks were tied 6-6 at halftime after Atlanta's lone touchdown was overturned, but things went downhill as soon as the second half kicked off. Before anyone took a single play from scrimmage out of the locker room, Rashid Shaheed returned the second half kickoff 100 yards for a touchdown. The Falcons were out-scored 31-3 in the second half and were eliminated from playoff contention all because they were unable to…...

2+ hour, 1+ min ago (267+ words) The signing of Nickeil Alexander-Walker will go down in the history books as one of the best in Atlanta Hawks history, and Trae Young is partly to thank. The signing, four years for $60 million, was already a bargain for the Sixth Man of the Year candidate Alexander-Walker was in Minnesota, but he's taken a clear leap as an offensive player in Atlanta. Young and Alexander-Walker both said Young had some involvement in the move, whether by convincing the player or management. Alexander-Walker reported this in the preseason, and Young reiterated this in his most recent YouTube video. NAW is the next Derrick White. Like White, Alexander-Walker is a defense-first player. Both are known as lockdown perimeter defenders and generate high stock totals. They also embrace team defense by clogging driving lanes, playing passing lanes, and staying alert." But as their…...

2+ hour, 36+ min ago (423+ words) The Atlanta Falcons should be leading at halftime against the Seattle Seahawks, but officiating is who to blame. The Falcons and Seahawks are tied 6-6 at the break, but that's because the officials waved off a 25-yard touchdown from Kirk Cousins to Darnell Mooney because he stepped out of bounds. The play was called a touchdown on the field, before a replay review overturned the call, which led Atlanta to settle for 43-yard Zane Gonzalez field goal late in the second quarter. Shortly after, the Seahawks added three points of their own, but the Dirty Birds should have come away with six points. NFL rules expert Mike Pereira admitted on air that Mooney did step out of bounds, but re-established himself in bounds and the call should have been upheld upon review. He took three steps in bounds, but one step…...
