Falcons a tale of two teams

After slogging through a less than perfect first half but happy to be down by only  11 points, the Atlanta Falcons carved up the undefeated Dallas Cowboys with the combination of Ryan to Jones in the air and Devonta Freeman, who had 141 yards on the ground.  The Falcons held the Cowboys scoreless in the second half while posting 22 points of their own and besting the Cowboys 39-28.

“We just want to move the ball — I don’t care how we do it,” said Freeman, who also picked up 52 yards receiving yards. “Run, pass, if we get three points on a field goal, as long as we move the ball and get points.”

The Falcons must now prepare to host the Houston Texans, who are coming off a 19-9 win over the Buccaneers.  Plenty of affordable tickets and great seats are still available so be sure to get yours today and help cheer on your Atlanta Falcons!

Falcons get Quinn a Win

New Head Coach Dan Quinn could not be happier with his team’s 26-24 victory over a much hyped Philadelphia Eagles team.

“You just trust the preparation, let it rip and have fun,” Quinn said. “That’s what we did.”

Julio Jones was the hero of the night, hauling in nine passes for 141 yards and two touchdowns.  By halftime the Falcons were riding a 20-3 lead.

The Eagles were led by new quarterback Sam Bradford, who brought his team back in the second half and pulled near even, 24-23 with just over eight minutes remaining.  The Eagles had an opportunity to take the lead on a 44-yard field goal attempt, but Cody Parker was wide right on the attempt.  The Eagles had one last opportunity to take the lead late in the fourth but safety Ricardo Allen intercepted a pass meant for Jordan Matthews.

“Our defense stepped up at the end of the game,” Atlanta quarterback Matt Ryan said. “Ricardo has worked so hard.”

The Falcons will have to clean up their offense a bit but should prove a good match against the New York Giants Football Club next weekend.  Plenty of great seats and affordable tickets are still available so  be sure to get yours today and help cheer on your Atlanta Falcons!

Falcons ready to take on Eagles

The Atlanta Falcons have a ton of confidence coming into their opening game of the season against the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football.  The revised team, with new head coach Dan  Quinn and offensive coordinator  Kyle Shanahan have the team running at a high level and the off season moves have helped to make the offense a bit more potent.

But not all areas can be addressed with one off season.  While the offense is stronger, the defense will be the linchpin that will get them to the playoffs and even with first round pick Vic Beasley  and a handful of veteran free agents, they will be hard pressed to do too much better than last seasons worst defense in the NFL.

There is only one way to figure all of this out and that is to let them play the game and you still have a chance to be there.  Plenty of great seats and affordable tickets are still available so be sure to get yours today and help cheer on your Atlanta Falcons!
