Michael Vick

By rss@youtube.com (dwhitman1) This ritualistic sacrifice was performed so that the Falcons may have good luck against the Cardinals this week in the playoffs. Also, I wanted to destroy my collection of Michael Vick bobble-heads because I now like Matt Ryan better.

While Matt Ryan is getting a taste of what it's like to be star NFL quarterback, the adulation is nothing like his Falcons predecessor Michael Vick received as an Atlanta celebrity. When Vick made public appearances for the Falcons, community admiration was palpable. Fans clamored for hi...

By By MIKE TIERNEY The Atlanta’s largely African-American fan base that embraced Michael Vick for his eye-pleasing, heart-pounding style of play has warmed to Matt Ryan, who has the Falcons at 7-4.

By Steve Wyche The Falcons’ decision to try and trade the rights for imprisoned and suspended quarterback Michael Vick comes as no major surprise. The team announced the move via its Web site early Friday afternoon but it made its intentions clear 10 months ago when it drafted quarterback Matt Ryan with...

By Joshua Hammonds Now the Falcons are staring the playoffs dead into the eyes. Unfortunately, my prediction is for the Falcons to go as far as the NFC championship game, because they lack the dominant defense to win a championship. GM Thomas Dimitroff will try and load up his defense with the '09 Draft (maybe a...

By Willie Wilson There were already roughly 30 answers, and the majority of them said “Atlanta Falcons.” (Kudos to the one guy who said the Detroit Lions!) As a Falcons fan, I was very disappointed when I saw this. I saw Matt Ryan as being a great rookie quarterback, Turner being a powerful workhorse on the gro...

By Michael J If you look carefully at Falcons home games, you can see Falcons 7 jerseys in the stands. No matter how many games Ryan wins with the Falcons, he'll never be as ESPN friendly as Michael Vick. Some Falcons fans might even call for Arthur Blank to bring Vick back to Atlanta when his jail sentence i...

They drafted quarterback Matt Ryan, signed Michael Turner in free agency and bid veterans DeAngelo Hall, Alge Crumpler and Warrick Dunn good-bye. Ryan already is better than Vick ever was, which has allowed the Falcons to put the Vick era in their past. Michael who?

Matt Ryan threw two first-half touchdown passes to Michael Jenkins, and the Falcons held the Raiders to negative yards and no first downs in the first half and their fewest yards in 47 years in a 24-0 victory. The Falcons (5-3) scored on their first four possessions as Ryan had open receiver...

By daniel cox If you'll recall, the last time the Falcons took a trip out to Lambeau, it was 2002. Dan Reeves was the coach and Michael Vick was the offense, running and throwing (just a little bit). Fast forward to 2008, and the 2-2 Atlanta Falcons returned to Lambeau, led by rookie Matt Ryan, rookie Head Co...

By Michael 1. By drafting Ryan, the Falcons are falling back into the exact same trap they faced with Mike Vick. With Vick, the Falcons faced the problem that they had committed a huge amount of money, including an enormous signing bonus, to a player who produced decent, but not outstanding results. The...
