Atlanta Falcons - A Closer Look
Established in 1966, the Atlanta Falcons were originally set to be an AFL franchise before Pete Rozelle cut a deal with initial owner Rankin Smith, securing them a spot in the
NFL. For anyone who’s had Atlanta Falcons tickets over the years, it’s certainly been a rocky ride at times. There have been great players to be sure. Steve Bartkowski, the team’s first bona fide star, gave any holder of
Falcons tickets their money’s worth in the ’70s and ’80s. Bartkowski led the Falcons to the division title in 1980, the first of three that they won. In 1998, under the leadership of Georgia native Dan Reeves they parlayed another division title into the only
Super Bowl appearance in team history. While the championship has been an elusive goal, the team has had a storied history with many colorful characters donning the red and black. Former coach Jerry Glanville was known to leave a
pair of Atlanta Falcons tickets for Elvis at will-call for every game. Billy “White Shoes” Johnson had not only one of the best nicknames but also one of the best endzone dances of the early ’80s. Not to be outdone, running back Jamal Anderson gave the world the “dirty bird” endzone dance in ’98.
For all their struggles in the past though, the team has every reason to expect that holders of
Falcons tickets will be watching a winner in 2010. After going 11-5 and making the playoffs in 2008, they were devastated by injuries last season and dropped off to 9-7. The biggest loss was running back Michael Turner who, missing five games, was a significant loss considering Turner ran for 17 touchdowns the year before. First round draft pick Peria Jerry was also lost for the year early in 2008. This means that the
Atlanta Falcons will essentially have two first round picks on defense coming into this year’s camp (Jerry, a defensive lineman, and this year’s first rounder, Sean Witherspoon, a linebacker from Missouri). Another outstanding offseason addition should be cornerback Dunta Robinson, signed as a free agent from Houston. With these quality additions, and with Turner healthy once again, this should be an exciting team that plays winning football and proves worthy of your purchase of
2010 Atlanta Falcons tickets.
