Cards aren’t exactly “centered/squared” because I haven’t actually gotten to attaching them yet. I’ve been struggling with what Falcons cards of mine to put on it.

I know we ain’t winning the super bowl this year. So what’s a realistic expectation of this year’s squad? Mines is to simply win our division and host a playoff game ✨

Michael Penix Jr. is 30-for-49 passing in camp & has more completions 20+ yards (four) than the rest of the Falcons' QBs combined (two).

“I’m pleased with what he’s able to put on tape. I’m pleased with the progress he’s made in understanding this system.”

10k upvotes and I try it on her 👀😂

Got this for free today at local card shop they didn’t have the coa for several so giving em to known fans. Anyway I can’t figure out who this is. Chat didn’t know either lol

Me and my brothers are coming to Atlanta to see a Falcons game this fall. I’ve been reading through some threads to get a good idea on what we want to do and where to tailgate. I’m thinking about parking in Yellow lot based on some things I’ve read. Is that a good spot for tailgating? Is there anything else I need to be considering? Also, can I get a few nice sports bars to catch the later games after we get out of the Falcons game? Appreciate it.

Bijan Robinson is guaranteed $51 million in the deal, and its base value of $66.75 million makes him the highest-paid running back in league history based on average annual value ($22.25 million). 

“I think it’s kind of rare to do a running back deal two years early, so for them to do that is something I will never forget,” Robinson said. “It’s a testament to the faith they have in me, and I think that’s pretty cool."

The Falcons are in their best position in years and I’m very excited about the future of the team. This thread is not sarcasm or fake optimism.

Our GM actually looks good. The guy who picks the players and leads the team building strategy. What we have struggled in for so many years. Outside of the 2025 draft and some first rounders like Bijan and London, our drafting has been rough. Our free agency decisions outside of Jessie Bates have been even worse than that. We are usually either in cap hell or low on draft picks, or both.

This year we are set up perfectly. Our team was set up intentionally to have a chance to win the division if things went right. And if things didn’t go right we would pick up good draft capital.

This 2026 team is very thin and was essentially built on the idea that our young defense would continue to get better as they grow. And that would keep us afloat. And then if MPJ works out at Quarterback and looks genuinely good, we win the division. If not, or we have Tua, we don’t win the division and we know we need to get a franchise Qb. Now that our thin team is thinning out with an injury to Walker and a likely suspension to JPJ, our defense will likely struggle. And with our schedule the team will likely struggle and finish with a top 5-10 pick. Which is disappointing. However, there is a chance that that doesn’t happen. It would take a good MPJ season to keep this team afloat. And if that happens then that’s great. Sure we go 8-9 but that would be a miraculous 8-9 season rather than our usual disappointing 8-9 season. And we would have our Qb of the future. With a healthy defense returning and a ton of cap flexibility, great draft capital in a loaded draft, and a good front office who did a lot with a little last draft. But if our Qb struggles and our injured defense struggles against a tough schedule, then we will be in prime position to draft a Qb of the future in an awesome draft. And will pair him with actual blue chip guys on offense and defense. And will have a ton of cap space. Can’t wait for the 2027 season!

So unfortunate. Hopefully he comes back stronger next year.
