Atlanta Falcons get destroyed 38-6 by Denver Broncos in Week 11
The Atlanta Falcons faced a crushing defeat against the Denver Broncos, losing 38-6 in their worst performance of the season. Host Aaron Freeman breaks down what exactly went wrong in Week 11. With a supposedly high-powered offensive attack that was stymied by a strong Broncos defense, can the Falcons bounce back and fare better upcoming playoff-caliber defenders?
The Falcons defense laid another egg with perhaps their worst performance of the season thanks to poor game-planning and execution. With an already inept pass rush, the team’s coverage took a step back on Sunday. Will the team turn to rookie quarterback Michael Penix after their Week 12 bye? Can the team get healthy to finish the season strong?

Justin Simmons going up against his former team against a rookie quarterback, and the Atlanta Falcons. Got torched talking about a no-fly zone. You're right.
The atlanta falcons are severely overrated slow down
7-10 once again Falcons just suck
If bekichick is coach falcon are 8-2
The Falcons are always going to suck
Already starting to see the initial effects of the Kirk Cousins signing. Spending nearly 100 million for two years on a QB WILL eventually show up in other areas of the team. Why Atlanta didn't trade for a premiere defensive player at the deadline would be money, or lack of it. Currently Atlanta has only 3.4 million available in salary cap space. When one or two players contracts take up roughly half of the teams yearly payroll, it eventually shows up on the field.
It would`ve been so much better if the Falcons had traded out of that #8 pick and let someone else take the Penix gamble and picked Jared Verse or Dallas Turner instead, but they still have a coaching problem the offense lacks the ability to adjust and the defense with no pass rush and db`s playing 10 yards off. It`s sad but I knew it would end this way with the teams off season mistakes.
What people also have to remember about Penix is he was still sacked once and hit once in five drop backs.
I'm tired of seeing us play way off the ball or safeties don't move around at all no pass rush linebackers are below avg n suck in coverage
3 weeks ago versus dallas, Ellis was frequently used as a pass rusher. The defense had a pretty good game and Ellis had a pretty good game. They haven't done it since. Why? What am I missing?
Only thing with penix in would have been mobility and if cousins was having shoulder issues. Wouldnt of hurt give him more reps. Either we dont utilize pitts or hes not the guy we thought. Coach needs to be more vocal. Little harder on accountability.
do you honestly think Kirk Cousins is worth what they paid him? because i don’t, he’s severely overpaid.
This clearly shows that raheem so called the dream isn’t ready to become a headcoach yet. This team looks very unprepared.
The coaching staff is comprised of a bunch of unproven pet projects man. Hilarious we get to be a guinea pig for these career Madden gamers
I can remember at least 2 seasons as a young falcons fan, starting off around 6-2 and ending 8-8. This feels eerily similar.
Surtain stayed put. ZRob should have just plugged in WR4 and let the stars cook. Also, can we see more of Hodges? Dude shows up every game and YACs hard! Get him in there more!
Straight trash 🗑️ homie‼️ Team is STILL soft as charmin💯💫
😂😂
Sean Payton still doing his thing against the Failcons.😂
The falcons offense was"offensive" this week!😮 Maybe the time off will
help Kirk get some "zip" back on his passes and throw with confidence!😮
Penix will not start this season unless kirk gets hurt
Blown out ! Damn….
As a Falcons fan Rise Up Nation 🖤 i will say Kirk cousins has Fizzled out 6 wins is all he is capable of we still can win the division by default but unless we get some consistency in offense spread the ball around we trying to force Bijan every game
Atlanta is not a team that's built to play from behind they need to stay ahead of the game and the chains to win they get down a touchdown they get in panic mode
Atlanta will never be good until kirk is gone.
Atlanta offense is superbowl ready except QB. Stacked at every position.
The game could have been scripted because the Jaguars suffered the same similar defeat against the Lions 52-6
Falcons 6-38 Broncos
Last weeks game against the Saints the Team showed up and could have won the game but Younghoe Koo missed I think 3 field goals.
This week the entire Team laid a Gigantic Egg but the Kicker showed up this week its all scripted there were Rumors last Season that Aaron Roger's faked his injury and I believe that this is a regular thing in the NFL I know people will not agree with me but it's okay
And they wanted to make it seem like Bo Nix is a Super Star just pay attention to the Commentators on Fox NFL while Michael Penix sits on the Bench I got tired of the Commentators Hype
👍
We have a bye week and that definitely helps calm the team down at least. But being 6-5 at this point in the season is NOT ideal. Our schedule in the second half of the season has some tough games while the buccaneers schedule only gets easier. We just suffered 2 demoralizing losses back to back. These games will shape how the rest of the season goes. I love this team and i only want them to succeed, but just because e are still first in the division does not mean that lead is safe anymore. The buccaneers have the giants while we have the chargers after the bye. There's a really good chance they get within 1 game in the division. At that point, we should be in panic mode.
Why the (F) is wrong with the good damn defense? Does Jimmy Lake know that the NFL is from the NCAAF? If we don't let him go today then a lot of people will be gone after the season
Bye week next.. come back to face the surging Chargers…
Meanwhile the Bucs face the Giants this week and the Panthers after.
Bucs and Falcons will be tied for division lead come this time next monday.
😅😊
At least Koo was 2 for 2
List of usual suspects:
Jimmy Lake "Lanier" – Schemes are cursed
Zack "Will" Robinson – Lost in Space
AJ Terrell – "Always Juked"
Kirk "Kissing" Cousins – It's either really good or really bad, no in between
Raheem "The Dream" Morris – Living in a fantasy world
Broncos fan here, but I think a lot of yall are forgetting how banged up your defense truly is. Nix isn't Mahomes, but he outplayed Mahomes last week (IMHO), so it's not like you were playing Bryce Young or Deshaun Watson. Also, the Denver defense has been fairly solid this year, with exception of the Ravens game. Atlanta offense needs to fix some things and the defense needs to get healthy. But you are all still at the top of your division, and are pretty much guaranteed to make the playoffs. Furthermore, Sean Payton has all of the AFC South's numbers. He is very familiar with your organizations, and he beat ALL four of them this year. There was a lot working against you, but I think you will bounce back and impress once again.
We are a long way from a serious playoff team. New OC and DC would be a good start. Defense is a constant disappointment and offense with our weapons is sad.
Penix Pumpers is wild lol
I missed this Aaron
Raheem needs to go!
Truthfully, a lot of Broncos fans are surprised too.
1st off thanks for the content Aaron but i think Bijan played well he basically single handedly walked us down the feild the 1st drive and then the offense abandoned him and also that pick kirk threw was absurd he didn’t just stare him down he could never see drake because there was a big linebacker in a bright orange uniform in front of him i can only assume that he threw that pick on purpose because he couldn’t have thrown it to the guy that picked it any better if he was trying to… this Raheem scheme is faulty the players aren’t buying in on it and they you would think they would watch the tape from last year and see what these players thrive in because Neilson had these players playing to their ceiling top 5 in a few categories then we let C.C & B.D walk add Judon and Simmons and now we are the worst defense in nfl history? My anger point is that they are blinde to that fact, set your ego aside talk to your players see where they feel comfortable and build a scheme they can thrive in im tired of seeing us trying to fit a square in a round hole for 10 weeks now make the change and by change i mean you have 2 weeks throw every 3-4 concept in the trash go back pick the plays you like for each situation from last year and build a scheme that the players you have available can execute 😅had to get that out there
LOVE the anger talking about that 2nd td play that was the same as the one before it because i came unglued when that happened before i knew it i had yelled THATS THE SAME F’N PLAY louder than ive ever yelled walked outside slammed the door and just sat outside for about 10mins to cool off i was soooo mad because you see it coming before they snap the ball and you have that sliver of hope they have planned on jumping the route and blowing it up but noooo lets sit back 10-12 yards and wait to see what they are running before we react and by then Denver has 6 blockers 10 yards downfield just moving through our backfield like a street sweeper lol… this the first time ive seen robo Aaron emotional lol we bonded today my friend
Aaron, your intro was classic!
