2020 SEASON
RETIREMENTS
QB Hardy Tamm decides to hang 'em up after a 14-year career. He was drafted 1(15) in 2006 by the Dolphins, but never played a down for them. The Giants picked him up in '08, and he spent two seasons on their bench before we signed him to backup Donny Schwartz. Schwartz got hurt, and Tamm had a job as starter for all or part of the next 7 seasons. As Rasberry and Barker began to mature, it became obvious that one of them would take over, but Tamm stuck around for three more non-playing seasons (2017-2019) as a Mentor to the two young lads. Here's his final playing card:

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!! Thwarted again in the Front Office Bowl, this time by the Colts. Obviously, we had a completely dominant defense all year long, but our offense sputtered in the big game. Still, there were numerous bright spots, not the least of which was the performance of rookie Joseph Wolfe at RB.
NEW RECORDS INVOLVING FALCONS
Sammie Farrell passes Gilbert Boyer for all-time Falcon receiving yards. Farrell now has 7,283.
Joseph Wolfe's 17 rushing Td's are a league single-season record, and his 1,520 yards are a Falcon record.
Barker's 96.7 passer rating bests his own Falcon mark.
Mirkovich's 12.5 sacks are a team record.
