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?

That was the game plan.  It worked.  

I never planned to be the resident David Moore advocate but the guy went 32 for 351 and 3 TDs last year as the 5th option.  19 of the 32 went for 1st downs.  He's not restricted to blocking.  He's not elite.  He's a solid contributor as demonstrated above. 

On the huddle, you’re either Jerry Rice or you’re worthless. He came into the season as the #4/5 receiver but Coker got injured and XL shat the bed. Could be a lot worse than David Moore.

Penix struggles under pressure.  This dates back to college.  He looked great against his Pac-12 defense and then when they made the playoffs against a good defense he looked erratic like he did last Sunday.  If you can force the Falcons to pass and get pressure on him you should have a good day.  Their strength will always been the running game with Bijan as long as he is there.  

The David Moore hate confuses me too.  Depth vet who can play special teams and do the dirty work like blocking.  He is on a pretty reasonable contract as well.

Every qb struggles under pressure. That's why they pay pass rushers so much.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
