I think Penix will probably do well. Hope he does. But he’s hugely unproven. Last season was a small sample. Cousins still being on the roster will be VERY awkward if Penix struggles… because there’s a real chance Cousins (if/when healthy) is the better QB. 🤷

Second Falcons game in a row with an unnecessary early timeout leading immediately into a delay of game. Failing at the basics. Poor poor coaching.

This OC in ATL ain't it man. Holy shit

I love this game & breaking down tape, but I’m struggling to watch the ATL O tape!!! Predictable… boring (same plays over and over)… don’t like the spacing often… lots of miscommunication… just don’t really get it??!

This Falcons staff couldn’t coach its way out of a wet paper bag. Another embarrassing loss defined by ugly errors and mistakes.

Update: Vit Krejci is 16-20 from three in his last 2.5 games This is obscene.

Jalen Johnson vs Jazz: 31 PTS 18 REB (career-high) 14 AST (career-high) 7 STL (career-high) 4-5 3P The first player in NBA history to reach those numbers in a game.

Onyeka Okongwu tonight: 32 Points 11 Rebounds 3 Blocks 2 Steals 2 Assists +16 +/- 11/18 FGM 8/14 3PM 2/2 FTM 35 Minutes

The leap is legit. Johnson’s improving at a pace we don’t often see, cemented his two-way presence to go alongside his underrated playmaking. He’s not waiting to arrive, he’s already here and he’s been punishing the league this season. Highlights from his last 5 games👇🏼

Rookies with 4+ sacks this season: 🟥 James Pearce Jr., ATL - 8.0 🟥 Jalon Walker, ATL - 5.5

Just a damning indictment of the Atlanta Falcons that the NFC South leader going into the season finale is 8-8, and they were mathematically eliminated a month ago

One of the biggest "what ifs?" of this Falcons season: What if Divine Deablo didn't get hurt? The Falcons went 0-5 without him, counting the SF game where he was hurt on the first drive.

Bijan Robinson's POV in VR is next level 😲 Watch MNF Playbook with Next Gen Stats on ESPN2 and the ESPN App.

Players with 1,400+ rush yards and 700+ receiving yards in a season all-time: 🔹Bijan Robinson (2025) 🔹Steven Jackson (2006) 🔹LaDainian Tomlinson (2003) Atlanta Falcons | #DirtyBirds

Xavier Watts is the best Falcons rookie DB since Deion Sanders, Bijan Robinson is having the best season any Falcons RB has ever had, James Pearce Jr. is a DROY contender, the team is second in the NFL in sacks, and they were practically out of the playoffs by Thanksgiving.

Raheem Morris on Brandon Dorlus’ scary knee injury: “We dodged a big-time bullet.” Dorlus will miss Week 18 but did not sustain significant damage.

Stefanski isn’t the most exciting hire — but if you’re crowing about a bad record, remember that the Browns sold their soul for Watson. He was hamstrung. The Browns traded their first-round picks in 2022, 2023, & 2024 (& others) to gave Watson five-years, $230M (guaranteed)🤮💀
