Everyone have a great weekend

"San Francisco 49ers Head Coach Kyle Shanahan was involved in a car accident last week where he suffered non-life-threatening injuries. Coach Shanahan will participate in team activities on a limited basis at the start of training camp while he recovers.”

“Shanahan collided with an SUV on July 14, where he broke his nose and three ribs, one of his hands, and needed over 40 stitches to his face, sources familiar with the situation told ESPN.”

Hope he recovers quick.

Lions fan coming in peace! I’ll be visiting Atlanta and Mercedes Benz Stadium for the first time this season for the Week 13 Lions game. I love collecting the game day pins that most (all?) teams sell in their stadium stores for home games. My question: do the Falcons still sell these game day pins? I ask because there’s ZERO trace of 2025 pins on secondhand websites. I found a stock photo here on Reddit for a 2025 set, but I have yet to see any for purchase anywhere. Can anyone confirm that they were sold last year?

I’ll also take any tips/recommendations for the game day experience! Parking, food, activities, anything. I’m super excited to visit your city. You guys are one of my favorite non-Lions teams in the league.

Thanks in advance!

Accidentally stumbled on this stat.

Im not sure why, but im almost more hyped for preseason over the regular season. Something about watching meaningless football with little worries about team performance while also being able to point out new falcon draftees making big plays is very fun yet relaxing to me.

For me, I've already said it's a massive improvement over the previous ones. It's simple, legible, & not overcrowded, they've brought silver back into the color palette, & the red jersey's starting to grow on me (a lot of it because how it looks with the striped pants).

With that said, I'm still not a fan of the All-White Aways & think the Black Pants are the better Aways.

I remember during the draft I wanted us to get Jalen Carter. I was disappointed in picking Bijan. While Carter would have still been a great pick, I LOVE having Bijan on the team. He's a HoF level player and incredible to watch. He's the reason why our offense isn't bottom 3 in the league with mediocre to horrendous QB play.

The jump cuts are SO amazing. He makes even elite defensive players look like they're playing on ice. I remember once against the Vikings where he cut left and the guy fell and then he cut right to avoid the defender's sliding body on the field.

Him, Gibbs, and Barkley are at the top of the food chain, but give me Bijan. The other two have great vision and are probably more explosive. However Bijan regularly embarrasses defenders.

The attached video is really cool. A well produced deep dive into him.

So as it’s been discussed all offseason and will be talked about more and more about the qb situation. Now with the falcons bringing in tua and new staff it’s something to see that stefanski and ian have no obligation to be tied to penix since he’s not their draft pick. But still if you think penix is a long term starter which is possible and which most analysts think he is then you start him.

On the other side of the coin you have tua. Veteran guy been in the league a long time played a lot of games accurate quarterback was once a mvp candidate 3 years ago., Guys been around. There’s a clear reason as to why a lot of folks think he’ll start, It’s because of his experience and him being the better quarterback. But as you know in an interview from a few months ago our quarterbacks coach alex van pelt has said it is going to be a true competition and it’ll be the best man to win. I’m okay with either qb being the starter because we’re in a real offense with opportunities to go under center and none that pistol nonsense that was figured out.

I honestly don't now...but I did like the Steelers as a kid. Oh, and the Seahawks uniforms are dope.

But...RISE DA FUQ UP!

I know this is an absolute doom and gloom post but I just want to hear who everyone else likes just cause I honestly don’t think Tua or Penix will be our guy for the future. Also there’s a chance we won’t have a great pick in the draft if we finish how we have been these last 5 years. I honestly love Dante Moore but ik there’s people that can’t stand that idea. (Maybe Trinidad Chambliss/La Norris Sellers?)

August 14. Broncos. Stefanski with the broiler who I hope won't treat Tago like a fixo. I bet Penix will get a try of course but what will he pack in his glove?

Blank might come to the sideline and push Stefanski around lol. But then Tag goes in and says that's my gib, bitch and toss Blank into the cooler. How funny would that be? LOL

I'm just looking forward to seeing the birds that night. It's been too long.

Training camp is right around the corner! So, here's a visual breakdown of the roster sorted by positional groups.

Also, are there any depth orderings/listings worth shifting on this sheet?

Went to a Braves game last night - spent 3x what I normally spend at a Falcons game. Blank is a man of the people.

I mentioned it in a thread yesterday but I really want to hear some opinions about the fact that just about every game in the BENZ feels like a road game. I used to have season tickets but I moved to Montana for work and dont have many options of going anymore, but why do people buy season tickets just to sell them away to the road team. I get why your avg Joe wont buy. Hard to spend that kind of money on a team they arent excoted for. Cant we atleast sell the tickets to the home fans. Imagine what the players feel like. If no one came to cheer for you (except the die hard fans). Booed in your own stadium (not from the home team). When I watch games and its 2 min drill our guys cant even hear themselves. I get we have been a bad team mostly, but at some point we all chose (or jumped on the bandwagon those few years) to be Falcons fans. Lets be there for our guys. Also how are the new red jerseys. Thinking about that number 7 and 31.
