    The Falcons, who are 1-4 on the road this season, know they'll face a prideful Jets team that was expected to be Super Bowl contenders with the addition of quarterback Aaron Rodgers. However, with his injury the Jets spiraled back to the pack behind Zach Wilson and are currently 4-7. Tim Boyle will start at quarterback. The Falcons know first-hand that the Jets are a feisty bunch on defense from the 2022 joint practices which had several fights.

    Falcons lose to lowly Cardinals at the buzzer

    Falcons lose to lowly Cardinals at the buzzer

    The Falcons had busted plays and no rhythm in the passing attack as they went down to the Arizona Cardinals, 25-23, in Glendale Arizona. The Falcons took the lead in the fourth quarter with 2:33 to play, but the defense couldn't keep the Cardinals out of field goal range. The Falcons have now dropped three games in a row to a rookie quarterback, a third-string quarterback and a quarterback, who was coming off an 11-month layoff after knee surgery. To say the Falcons have stumbled into the bye would be a major understatement.

Entertaining and funny

Bedletter does his best to bring us the latest falcons news. I like the cheesy production of this podcast. It sounds like he’s in the hallway coat closet. And he does his best to keep the noise down. But that rawness is what makes this fun. Keep up the great work.

The best Falcons podcast!

D-Led does a great job of being fair and honest, while also looking at things from the Dirty Bird fans' point of view. He also has great nuggets from and about the opposition. The Bow Tie Chronicles is like my private pre-game show during the fall on Sunday mornings during my long run on the Silver Comet Trail. I look forward to it every week!
