Love it. It was a fun ending. Penix looked pretty good though, especially in the second half.
Was a good start to our Falcons hate campaign this season. They didn’t look bad though so will see how rest of season goes. If they lost London that’ll hurt their offense.
Falcons have swiss cheese of a defense. I also think they're running a pretty simplistic offense and that only might be because of their young QB. They look like a 6-8 win team, hopefully I'm wrong and they're a 1-2 win team. lol

ATL looks to be a decent team, here's hoping they lose a lot of close games. I don't see them getting blown out a bunch.
And they get to play the panthers twice.

Don’t forget the Saints twice, Dolphins once. The way they played, 5 wins is the absolute floor

Yeah, I kinda agree with this though who knows what will happen with Dolphins. It's week 1... but the way they played really just seems to confirm the narrative around the team since end of last year.

Love to see it! Pennix looked good, so I am not holding out hope the pick will be overly high, as that roster has some serious talent on it and finally a QB to match. But the Falcons also showed, at least in this season's early days, that they remain a team that will reliably shoot themselves in the foot and find ways to lose games they should win. The pick should be pretty decent still!
When you make a team/allow them to drive it down the field underneath you exchange some clock in place of points, which can work if your offense can score and especially if you have a badass QB who is a 4 minute assassin. But if not then you're just slowing the inevitable and maybe you'd be better off gambling more and getting some stops and field flips.
We gotta support our former DC, Raheem! Besides, I'm of the opinion we should draft only Mizzou players in next years draft! ~ @Memento
I certainly dont wish harm on any non-49ers player, but it appears that if the Falcs get 17 game out of Penix, they're gonna win some games.

I want them to lose every game possible. At the very least would be ecstatic with a top 5 pick. Imma keep dreaming hahaha
I figure we need them to lose about 10 games. Hopefully more, however if they can lose 10 that will put them into quite an early range from which we could look seriously at LTs and maybe one or two of the QBs and have a chance to position slightly. Won't get us to 1 overall if there's a top prospect, which there's a good chance will be the case this year, however instead of looking at the underappreciated types we can actually consider all of them outside that top slot range.
Everything depends on health. Their starting right tackle, McGary, is out for the season. Drake London, their number one receiver, got hurt this game. Penix is not a paragon of health himself; he's missed a few college seasons with injuries of his own. Offensively, they've got Robinson, London, and very little else (Pitts, frankly, needs to improve if he wants to be re-signed by them or, at the very least, not traded at the deadline). Defensively, their younger players are going to have to be better than they showed this game. They have a lot of good young players that are not playing well, period, a lot of younger players I actually liked when they were drafted, but haven't played up to standards.
There is a very real possibility that Atlanta gets at least a top fifteen pick, if not top ten.
