The Atlanta Falcons are preparing for the start of their 2025 NFL season, with fans and analysts discussing expectations for the team’s early games and player development. The team is focused on its Week 1 matchup, but questions remain about how they will perform in a challenging opening stretch.
One fan from Calgary asked about a realistic record for the Falcons through their first six games. The response noted that while every game will be tough, “the easiest game on paper will come against Carolina in Week 3. But that is a road game inside the division, which means it won’t be so easy.” The answer also highlighted that a slow or fast start does not determine playoff chances: “it takes a full season to reach the playoffs, so a slow start doesn’t doom anything just like a fast start doesn’t guarantee anything.” A reasonable expectation given the schedule would be finishing at 3-3, but there is optimism Atlanta could repeat last year’s strong opening and go 4-2.
Another question addressed radio coverage of Falcons games. Fans can listen to broadcasts on the Falcons’ Radio Network, with 92.9 The Game as the flagship affiliate in Atlanta. Additional affiliates throughout Georgia carry games, and they are also available via SiriusXM.
A question about roster moves brought up Morgan Fox’s release and what it means for younger players like Harrison and Dorlus. The answer pointed out that head coach Raheem Morris considers both rookies and second-year players as part of two impactful rookie classes due to increased playing time this year. Dorlus has impressed coaches during training camp, leading to confidence in his readiness: “that growth probably gave the coaches enough comfort move on from Fox.” Harrison is expected to play an important role at defensive end.
On Sunday’s upcoming game against Tampa Bay, one fan asked who might be the biggest x-factor. Offensive coordinator Zac Robinson plans to start Elijah Wilkinson at right tackle, making his performance crucial against one of last season’s most aggressive blitzing defenses. On defense, Divine Deablo was identified as another key player whose ability to control the middle of the field could influence Atlanta’s success.
Falcons fans can expect regular updates each week about how to watch or listen to games across various platforms during the season.
