We won, but Bryce and Canalas still blow

[tukafan21]

I also think people are looking at the shutout and 30 point win and forgetting that it only happened because of two missed FGs and Penix gifting us some turnovers that were his fault and not something our defense caused.

So yea, we won, we had a shutout, but I'd still say those things were much more because of the Falcons own mistakes than us forcing them into those.

If you think we are back, we aint. Bryce Young isnt an nfl qb. One read and panics. Rico Dowdle is terrible hes worse than miles sanders. How this was 30-0 i have no idea.

Hard to hate on the HC after a dominate win. We were coaching circles around ATL even after the muffed punt opportunity. Bryce didn’t do much but he didn’t have to so I call it a wash for him. No turnovers is an improvement I suppose.

We gifted them one of those FGs with a dropped punt so I wouldn’t give the Falcons much credit for the first one. We also kept Penix from getting comfortable. Evero was dialing up some blitzes and it worked.

And both of those interceptions were because of super poor throws. 

Yeah the WR slipped on second one but that ball never had a chance in hell. Mike Jackson was all over it

Penix looked awful. Missed a lot of routine throws

Saying Dowdle is worse than Sanders instantly discredits your football knowledge. I mean wow

I remember seeing Penix struggle in the playoffs in college because he was constantly pressured and not playing a PAC12 defense. If you can keep pressure on him he becomes pretty bad.

Yeah I definitely wasn’t a fan of his as a prospect and nothing he’s done so far has me thinking he might not stink

What's the point of this? Okay they make 2 field goals and we only win by 24. Evero deserves his credit today, we made Penix uncomfortable.

The sunshine pumpers will claim superb owl after today. Sheep.  They will kiss teppers ass and say Bryce is the best. I can’t wait to read it. Esp when pillows and Canalas suck it up again next week

They had a plan in place to beat a team that on paper is far superior and it worked. Bryce made some bad throws but he also had a lot of good ones too. He did what was needed to win. Credit where credit is due. 

Top to bottom a team win. Special teams was the best I’ve seen since I don’t know when. We have a dude who can bust 57 yd field goals. Dude boomed punts in to the stratosphere. 

As you said, football is a team sport and it takes a team to win.  As a team we played better than them so we got a W.  I love the defense finally showed up and meant we didn't have to have a big offensive output to win like last year. It takes pressure off Bryce which helps tremendously in reducing him trying to be superman and make a play which turns into a fumble or pick. Going to 5 defensive linemen rushing the quarterback made a big difference I thought. Saw more man coverage as well.

Not to double post, but also if you thought Bryce wasn’t good today you need to stop evaluating football.
