Yeah, I just think Penix had one of those nightmare games that had more to do with himself than our D.   Then the whole team around him sort of imploded too.  

but we were due for one of those going our way for a change vs us being the one gifting games to an opponent.  

100%. A chunk of our victories over the past few years have been opponents having "those games." Hey, take em where you can get them, especially in the division.

Definitely glad to see that ATL also suffers from poor coaching issues, as well.

While we have been a dumpster fire,  it has been nice to see most of the division also experience this fate, as well.

Penix was awful because the defense bottled up their run game and was finally getting pressure. It clearly rattled him, as it would most QBs.

they didnt have a sack all game did they?  Penix is bryce young level bad neither is going to pan out.  falcons should try cousins again and move on to a new qb next season.  panthers should also but they will most likely just pick up fifth on bryce

Eh.....I tend to disagree on the run defense but that's whatever.

The thing that struck me immediately was that they DID have ample opportunities to get yards on our pass defense but Penix was so frequently off target with the ball that it was nuts. Late, behind, too high, too short, etc. He was spraying throws everywhere but where they were intended to go.

I am a little reticent to give TOO much credit to our defense for that reason. They did generate a lot more pressure on the QB so that was great. 

It's a one game sample so I don't want to reset the expectations just yet. Hopefully it's a trend and not a statistical outlier.

 

What surprised me was that they didn't seem to really commit to the run early and then couldn't once they got behind. I did notice the tackling seemed to be much better than we've seen, however.

idk how the three Mooney drops and two missed field goals can be chalked up to Penix being horrible, but he definitely fell apart later in the game when down two scores and having to be one dimensional on offense. There was a couple of passes too that were affected by the rush to force them off topic. Once Penix was uncomfortable, he unraveled further.

Then again, if folks are looking for a reason to not hope yet by finding reasons to dismiss the performance, carry on I suppose?

I don't get the Moore hate either.  He's reliable and is a solid special teams contributor.  We have lots of young talent on offense and sometimes you need a vet to make a vet play.

For the first time ALL season, it looked like we blitzed.  Honestly, I dont think Atlanta was prepared for it since we literally didnt do it ALL season long.
