All the Falcons news you need for Thursday, July 31, 2025.
Good morning Falcoholics, and welcome to Thursday, July 31. Wednesday was another off day for the Falcons, and they’ll be back on the training camp field tomorrow morning bright and early.
You may have noticed a couple of posts on the site about an upcoming transition to a new platform next week. Please read through them both if you get a chance and make sure you’re set to log into the new system next Wednesday when we flip the switch! If you have questions about the new platform or need help understanding how to log in, either email me at jeanna.kelley@sbnation.com or leave your questions/feedback right here in the comments.
I am typically not happy about change, but in this case, I’m excited. I really think the new system is going to be an upgrade both for our writers AND our readers. It’ll be cleaner, faster, and we’ve got a new community feature replacing FanPosts that I think you’ll love. The Falcoholic is only a great community because of y’all, so let me know how I can help you get logged in and participating.
On to the links!
