Atlanta Falcons rookie Takk McKinley visited a children’s hospital on Tuesday. But before signing autographs for the kids there, he did something unusual. McKinley asked the kids if he could have their autographs. #ATLHometownHuddle pic.twitter.com/xBxgnCe1eK — FalconsCR (@FalconsCR) September 19, 2017 “I just thought it would be cool if I got their autographs,” McKinley said, via Kelsey Conway of AtlantaFalcons.com. “They were kind of shocked like ‘you’re supposed to be...
This could be a horrendous game.
You don’t look at Thursday Night Football and expect standout quality, and that’s particularly true this week. The punchless, Brian Hoyer-led San Francisco 49ers are taking on the resurgent Los Angeles Rams, who are still proving to a lot of folks that they’re for real.
The Rams should win this one easily, but divisional games are frequently weird, so I’d go in with no expectations. The game’s kicking off right around now, so use this as your open...

Falcons' OC Steve Sarkisian hopes to feed Julio Jones all four quarters
As two of the only three NFC teams with a perfect 2-0 record, this Sunday’s matchup between the Falcons and the Lions is an intriguing one.

Life's bigger than the game of football for Takk McKinely

Falcons' Adrian Clayborn on Matthew Stafford: 'He runs pretty fast, for a quarterback'
We’re joined by Ty Schalter of The Lions Wire to break down the upcoming game against the Lions and more.
Since DW is currently on vacation, probably wandering around somewhere on the Serengeti, Michael Aprile of Rise Up Reader filled in to cohost this week’s episode alongside The Unbossable Jeanna “Mad Online” Thomas.
The two are joined by Ty Schalter of USA Today’s The Lions Wire to break down the Falcons’ big win against the Packers, as well as look ahead to the suddenly...
It’s hard to believe that a bunch of people who write for a site called The Falcoholic have this much confidence in the team.
The Falcons own the Packers. Atlanta has gotten the best of Green Bay not once, not twice, but three times in the last calendar year. And now they’re coming for another NFC North team: the Detroit Lions.
The Lions, like the Falcons, are sitting at 2-0. That hasn’t deterred our intrepid editors, all of whom are rolling with Atlanta again this week.
But let’s...
The team is down both Courtney Upshaw and Vic Beasley, so Vellano will provide depth. The Atlanta Falcons have addressed their defensive line depth, which looked like a bit of a problem with both Vic Beasley and Courtney Upshaw sidelined. They’ve done so by bringing defensive tackle Joe Vellano up from the practice squad, and in a corresponding move, they’ve cut ties with cornerback Deji Olatoye. Vellano is a logical choice for this week because the Falcons are deeper at end than they...

If there’s someone mad, about the game to be had, who you gonna call? Takebusters!
If there’s a Tweet so bad, it makes your timeline sad, who you gonna call? Takebusters!
*familiar 80s melodious riff* I ain’t afraid of no takes.
Welcome back to Dirty Bird Takebusters, the weekly feature here on The Falcoholic that will break down the most steaming of hot takes of takes circulating throughout Falcons fandom after each...
A bone-jarring hit that doesn’t seem like it could come from a 5’10, 205 pound cornerback. A sack of a hapless Mike Glennon, a run stop just out of the backfield, a materialization out of thin air to make an open field tackle. Hell, a quick change of direction to make a play on the ball he has no business getting to. These are all hallmarks of Brian Poole, perhaps Atlanta’s single most underrated player, though likely not for much longer. Poole stepped in as the team’s primary...
The offense rediscovered their form against Green Bay.
It didn’t take long for the Falcons to come under pressure and fire for their performance in 2017. The offense was under scrutiny for their tame showing against Chicago. With only two explosive plays coming from a coverage bust and Austin Hooper’s stiff-arm, everything felt lackluster. Two big plays weren’t going to cut it against Green Bay’s high-powered offense.
The running game was ineffective against Chicago, but Steve...
