There, I said it; The Falcons are a completely different team than they were a year ago.

Honestly, I am here for every bit of it. How can you defeat both of the teams that played in the 2016 Superbowl back to back? I am extremely proud of what is happening for the Falcons, and what is to come next.

Last season, they began their season 6-0. However, that all changed rapidly and they were not able to make it to the playoffs. Who's to say that this WILL NOT happen again this year?

Me.

It is obvious that the Falcons this year, is completely different and will keep their momentum growing. They are currently #1 in the NFC South standings.

Their next challenge is against the Seattle Seahawks, where they will have to be extremely ready for their remarkable defense and Russell Wilson's tricky plays.

But hey, if you can defeat the Superbowl Champs as the away team, anything is possible, right?

"I think we are mentally tougher," Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan said to NFL.com, "We are a more resilient group, for sure, and you learn from that. Obviously we started fast last year, and it didn't go our way in the second half of the season. But I think what you learn, especially for young guys, is that the difference between wins and losses are a handful of plays, and we have to be on the right end. I think we have done a really good job being opportunistic early in the season."

Matty Ice could not have said it better, it's only up from here. With Julio on the verge of breaking records that fans are anticipating and the defense constantly accelerating, they are making memories that fans could never forget.

"We have different guys that can get involved in the pass game and different guys that can get involved in the run game," head coach Dan Quinn said to NFL.com, "We know the different matchups each week, and sometimes you get an opening [to exploit]."

With Dan Quinn a former Seattle Seahawks coach, and his knowledge of what the Seahawks and the Falcons are capable of, he knows that the Falcons are beyond preapred for this challenge and change. The administration has been preparing for this change, and they will continue to change to make this one of the best seasons Atlanta has ever seen.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls, The Dirty Birds are back.

Stay Tuned to Fox at 4:25 P.M. ET to watch the Atlanta Falcons take on the Seattle Seahawks on the CenturyLink Field in Seattle, Washington.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
