Man, we have a live dog coming into NW next week.

Im ecstatic

I honestly think they would've done it last week if it weren't a road game. Think they wanted to give Penix a super manageable first start so this will be good

MPJ should be able to utilize the weapons better than Kirk and he's certainly much more mobile

Are they giving up or still fighting?

Will see what the kid has. He might be better in this offense. When you are benching your $45 million QB who is top 20 statwise you are certainly sticking your neck out there as a HC.

I heard Cousins threw an absolute fit over this.





























But it was intercepted.

Cousins has sucked for quite a few games in a row now, and the falcons playoff chances are on life support.

Though it’s probably too little too late, if you’re Raheem Morris you probably have seen enough from Cousins now to know what you’re getting…

I say he gets traded at the end of season

the end comes for everyone. when KC tore his Achilles that very well could have been the beginning of the end . much like matt ryan you could see he wasnt his vintage self . no one is trading for KC and that contract he will be cut and then pull a russell wilson or simply retire .

asking alot of penix to win a divison or WC at this point but i liked him when i looked at him.

I think this move actually gives us a better shot to win out

The schedule is pretty manageable. Should beat NY this week to get to 8-7

Then we really just need Philly to beat you guys ( not a lock but not crazy to think either ) and then the week 17 game is ostensibly for the last wildcard

And that's assuming Tampa wins out which is no guarantee either

The good thing for us is our conerence record is quite good ( 6 -3 right now ) so winning out would ask but guarantee a playoff spot if you guys don't get by Philly

Right Achilles injury for any right handed thrower isn't any snap back situation....much less at 36 years young. Side stepping laterally in the pocket needs time

14 games with 16 picks and 12 fumbles says as much.

Cousins=Pete Rose=Charley Hustle
Ha Ha...You bet.

I did!
In fact, I posted (and missed) Kirk playing well early on, being traded to the Raiders before the deadline and Penix taking over. Atlanta blew this one by not trading him and getting a massive haul in return. Who didn't know that Penix (The Assassin) was drafted to replace Kirk before that 2-year contract ended? They completely fouled this up.

Still fighting!!
And now they have a killer at QB.

Too late!

Sadly i see an injury in his future

You could be right, maybe he has hit a wall and maybe Morris an the OC hit a wall. Cousin's was 3rd in the league in yards when everything went to shit. I did not see a game until Monday night. He wasn't good but he only threw 17 passes. The OLie run blocked well but pass blocked a lot worse. I hope better or Penix but he is not the type to move around a lot.

I think Cousin's and his wife made a decision and it was not the right one. We'll see, it could be that father time got him.

Some team would have to be willing to pay some of the money that he is owed.
