  5. I think we should sit Penix till they have this team firing on all cylinders to start his career in the best situation they possibly can. It definitely isn’t going to be this year tho. They have a lot of things and issues to figure out. Raheem said they are experimenting guys in different positions on defense so they clearly do not have a set personnel and identity yet.

  8. Cousins will continue to start, but if Atlanta down the stretch absolutely implodes and misses the playoffs, then go ahead and start Penix for the rest of the season.

  9. Until Blank sells this team, we will never win a Super Bowl. He is too heavily involved and should remain in the booth, not on the field. Do your coaches feel pressure because of that? How about the draft? Did you persuade a coach to appease the owner? Stay in your lane, Blank. We have a horrible hire because of Blanks involvement. Hire a GM and let him make all decisions without your 2 cents !!!

  10. U look at the bucks schedule. Its easy as hell. We gotta beat the chargers or viking. We gotta win one of those games. Then beat the raiders giants and panthers. The bucs can literally win the rest of their games it’s thats easy.

  11. When you have a flat tire on a car that's very reliable you don't replace the motor. The Falcons have had three 30 point Games so far in 2024 which is 2 more than they had the past 2 years combined. The Falcons didn't have a single 30 point game in 2023. The Falcons Offense is the ONLY REASON they are 6-5 & if they could have made 2 out of 3 FGs Week 10 they would be 7-4. These Penix Fanboys/Kirk Cousins Haters need to be ignored because there's nothing Kirk Cousins could do to make them happy. Constructive Criticism is fine & ranting about the bad offensive Games is fine but to say the Falcons would be a better team if they benched Cousins is illogical & irrational. I hope Penix turns out to be a good NFL Starter but the truth is he is an unknown. What is not an unknown is how bad the Falcons Defense is at getting pressure on the QB & the questionable decisions by the Coaches from time to time.

  12. Fontenut knows if he plays him hes done period thats why we didnt see more of him in preseason etc after all the horrendous practices and the preseason game he knows its better for his job if penux is on the bench he was only picked to lock his job in for a few more years while hes on the bench hoping they dont tank this year and hes gone anyway

  15. Kirk would be an ANAZING fit on the Steelers. I can understand him not being what Atlanta wants; especially after literally spending a blue chip draft pick on a QB. Interesting to see how Atlanta will screw this up lol

  16. There’s is no controversy. Kirk is the QB and isn’t the issue for why we loss Sunday. London and Mooney both were hurt so our passing threats were out. Pass protection wasn’t the greatest either and by going down so many points so soon the run game became non existent. We didn’t have 2 starting corners(Alford and Hughes), Andersen was out and of course no pass rush. All around bad performance but switching to Penix would be wrong now and all but ends Kirk’s run with the team prematurely
