Peeenix
At some point, the football minds overthink stuff like this… QB1 playing like absolute sh*t several games, sit him and play QB2. Boom, simple lol
I knew Morris would wait until it is too late. The chances for them to catch the Bucs is very very slim. Bucs are looking very strong. He should have pulled him 3 games ago.
Smart to find out what they have before the draft. Bucs are winning the South anyway.
It a four alarm fire alarm.
It would have been better to say, all hands on deck.
What a bunch of fools – at least they make the Bears look good
GIMME THAT BIG PENIX ENERGY
28-3
RUN PFT
Raheem Morris is the Jameis Winston of coaching. Says all the right things, makes many questionable decisions that dont pan out. Better hope Penix is ready to go.
I think Kirk should begin to retire and consider becoming a QB coach. He could teach the new guys how to read a defense and process the field properly.
Falcons are gonna Falcon lmao
If anyone trades for a guy who is supposedly known for his decision making, who has thrown 1 TD and 9 picks in the last 5 games. You fire those people 😂
Glad to see they are NOT making the same mistake as the Browns, who refuse to own their mistakes and shift accordingly.
Bye bye o kurt a cousins lol 🤣🤣🤣
Pay Kirk! Pay Kirk! The media was screaming at the Vikings in the offseason. Pffff. Kwesi and KOC are on a different planet when it comes to contracts and getting the best out of there players.
Pick a side guys. You clearly have an issue with the Falcons (Belichick related). They stuck with Kirk as long as possible. They see this guy in practice and made a decision. Let’s go Penix!
Never watch the Falcons offseason without stocking up on popcorn and soda’s
08:00 yes because Florio has all this experience playing in the NFL.
10:52 I was half expecting Simms to say "oh oh oh ozempic"
Kirk is playing worse than Ridder last year so I don't care if Penix is a rookie or not. There's no way that Kirk could out play Penix at this point
Good thing we have Penix instead of a Pass rusher 😅
I hope Seattle or New Orleans would trade for him. I would give up anything
they gave cousins more than enough games to justify the cost
Kirk deserves to be benched. 1td vs 9ints in last 4 games. Mike was spot on ayer with this. Good job bro. Chris deserves a Bengals segment. 😂😂. I love bro. Jk. God bless you
I commented to my son that every time they showed Penix on the sidelines he had his helmet on and was ready to go. It seemed inevitable to me then.
