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?

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.

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.

    • Hmm let's see. Listen to a random graph or believe my own eyes which show poor ball placement and way too many 50/50 balls across 30+ career starts. Also I've lost count how many passes I've seen Bryce throw downfield to the sideline that were heading out of bounds and the receiver had to make an acrobatic move just to attempt to haul it in. But more often than not that throw has been an incompletion. BTW it's also not lost on me that the biggest general team fluffers here will waste absolutely no time in switching that up and throwing anyone necessary under the bus in order to prop up #9.
    • I was never comparing Brady to Bryce.  I used his first year stat for YPA to show it's a stupid comparison because Brady only had 1 pass for 6 yards in his rookie year.  It was a clear example of my point (at least for some people), that taking a single stat and using that to say player A was better than player B. Further, the original discussion was my claim that many people do expect Bryce to be more like Cam in terms of success for a 1st overall pick and that where a player is drafted ultimately doesn't matter. You must have forgotten to take your meds as you responded with YPA of Clausen and Ward which has nothing at all, whatsoever, to do with fans expectation of a player solely due to his draft slot.   And yet, you continue to throw random stats to continue a separate conversation that doesn't exist.  I go to great lengths to try to be accurate.  That's is why it's always been my argument that Bryce with Canales as his head coach and actual weapons around him, should be given the time to grow and improve.  If he succeeds and shows he can be a franchise QB then he'll earn an extension.  If not, he won't be here and I have no issue with that.  It's very possible that he will end up a career back up but no one should make that declaration after 13 games. Even if you don't agree, which is fine, I think you could actually understand why I feel that way.  It's not a hard case to make that his first year included horrible coaching, oline, surrounding talent, defense, or run solid run game.  No one should or could be accurately judged in those circumstances.  That doesn't mean you might not turn out to be right and it doesn't mean I don't think Bryce had a ton of things to work on.  He does but I'm not so myopic in my thinking that I also can't see what he has done well and what skills he brings to the position.
