1+ hour, 46+ min ago (441+ words) Fans have been waiting for months for the Atlanta Falcons to fire Raheem Morris, but Thursday night certainly didn't help their case. After being eliminated from playoff contention, the Falcons team fans were waiting to see all year finally showed up, stunning the Buccaneers 29-28 to kick off Week 15. The Dirty Birds trailed by as much as 14 in the fourth quarter, but clawed their way back mostly due to Kirk Cousins and a career game from Kyle Pitts. As impressive as the win was, it was aided by a back-breaking Bucs' collapse that has still given fans at least a semblance of hope if Morris is retained. The 49-year-old coach is undoubtedly on the hot seat, so he knows he will have to save his job in the final weeks of the season. For as much ineptitude as there's been in…...

2+ hour, 46+ min ago (621+ words) It's starting to feel like only a matter of time before Raheem Morris is fired. The Atlanta Falcons are sitting at 5-9, after an impressive primetime win over the Bucs, but Morris is holding a talented roster back from its potential for the second consecutive season. Yet Arthur Blank has yet to pull the plug on the obvious failed experiment. However, it seems more likely that Blank lets the second-year coach go in the offseason rather than before the season ends. Fans won't like having to witness four more weeks of the same cycle of coach-speak and the constant ineptitude, but it beats another season of having to deal with Morris. With that said, it's starting to put a spotlight on who the Dirty Birds should consider hiring as their next head coach. The list of coaching candidates is significantly weaker…...
