Dirty Bird Fever has began in earnest right now. That’s because the new Atlanta Falcons 2019 schedule has been released.
The squad will begin their third campaign in the still-new Mercedes-Benz Stadium, where they look to be playing at home during the Super Bowl.
Atlanta Falcons 2019 Football Schedule
Falcons owner Arthur Blank has invested heavily in the team’s offense, hoping that the triad of quarterback Matt Ryan, Julio Jones and Calvin Ridley can score early and often in the 2019 season.

lThe team has also shored up defensive and offensive lines, which both struggled at times last season.
Julio Jones, Muhammad Sanu and Devante Freeman will all be back and looking to reignite the firepower that was No. 1 in the league third seasons ago.
Atlanta Falcons 2019 Football Schedule
The Atlanta Falcons 2019 Football Schedule will be a real test for the Birds, especially at home. This is already one of the toughest NFL schedules for 2019.
Week 1: Atlanta Falcons vs. Minnesota Vikings 12-28
The Falcons opened the season with a crushing loss against the Minnesota Vikings. Matt Ryan threw for 302 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions.
The Falcons running backs amassed 73 yards and Julio Jones was held to 31 yards.
Week 2: Atlanta Falcons vs. Philadelphia Eagles 24-20
Matt Ryan threw for 320 yards and had three touchdowns and three interceptions as the Falcons survived the Eagles in week 2. Julio Jones had 106 yards and two touchdowns on six receptions.
Meanwhile, Devonta Freeman was held to 22 yards on 11 carries.
Week 3: Atlanta Falcons vs. Indianapolis Colts 24-27
The Falcons lost for the second time in three weeks, falling to Jacoby Brissett and the Indianapolis Colts, 24-27.
Matt Ryan threw for 304 yards, three touchdowns and just one interception, but it was a crucial pick deep in Colts territory that would have surely led to some points.
After a terrible first half, Ryan connected on 23 of 24 passes, but the Colts did just enough to win.
Week 4: Atlanta Falcons vs. Tennessee Titans
The Falcons entered week 4 with a sloppy resume on offense and defense. The team is still seeking its identity and a path to victory after falling in the NFC South.

BrandTech Day was created by the Atlanta Black Chambers for the purpose of giving local entrepreneurs some much-needed help with branding and technology.
BrandTech Day in Atlanta: May 18 in Atlanta
A recent study revealed that over 60% of the membership in the Atlanta Black Chambers weren’t confident that their businesses are identifiable in the marketplace.
Less than two-thirds of the membership surveyed didn’t even have a website.
Nearly a third of business owners felt that keeping up with technology advances was a major concern.
Melvin Coleman, executive director of the Atlanta Black Chambers said BrandTech Day will have a different the business focus from most conferences.
“Traditionally, a branding conference would have all branding professionals and an IT conference would attract all the IT professionals – because the objective is to provide professional development opportunities; whereas our objective is to give people some much needed help,” Coleman said.Read more: Another Whole Foods is popping up in Midtown -

Marvel fans are losing their stuff after the Avengers Endgame trailer debuted on Tuesday, April 2, 2019. The 2-minute video didn’t show many of the superheroes but gave fans just enough of the plot to spark a frenzy.
“Endgame” is slated to be released in U.S. theaters on April 26.
The new trailer comes on the heels of the success of Marvel’s Captain America. Unlike much of Avengers 4, which had key scenes shot in metro Atlanta, Captain America was filmed in London, Manchester, Caerwent, and Liverpool in the United Kingdom, and Los Angeles.
Where was Avengers 4 filmed?
Filming for Avengers 4 began in August 2017 at Pinewood Studios in Fayetteville. The Atlanta area has been embraced by Marvel producers as an affordable place to shot and do post-production on the Avenger movies, including some of their individual superhero movies such as Ant-Man.
So far, three Avengers films have been shot in ATL with one slated for release in 2019.
The Captain Marvel trailer debuted during halftime of the Washington Redskins-Philadelphia Eagles game, which starts at 8:15 p.m. ET on ESPN.

Fans can expect the usual superheroes with deep story arcs, including Iron Man, Black Panther, Captain America, Spider-Man, Black Widow and of course, Thanos.
Captain Marvel will be released in U.S. theaters on March 8, 2019, a few months ahead of Avengers 4, which premieres May 3.
Atlanta has become a movie mecca in recent years and Georgia has been a favorite location for TV productions since the state instituted generous tax breaks for film companies that agree to shoot locally. Projects from CBS, NBC, HBO, BET and more are slated to shoot in the metro area in 2018-19 and the foreseeable future.With more than 700 movie and TV projects just in the last few years, the film industry has generated more than $9 billion for the state of Georgia.There are so many movies filmed in Atlanta these days that it’s hard to keep up with it all.
