4 winners (and 3 losers) from Falcons' stunning win over the Packers (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Is that what happens when you go from your fourth-string quarterback to your starting quarterback? Apparently so, as the Atlanta Falcons steamrolled the Green Bay Packers 35-14 on a short week. Was it all Michael Penix Jr.? Not totally, but having a starting-caliber quarterback under center makes a world of difference. Suddenly, the defense can't stack the line to stop Bijan Robinson, and we saw how that went. We went from struggling to find a single winner on Sunday to struggling to find a sing
All signs point to Cooper Rush being Falcons’ Week 2 starter but don’t count on it (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The quarterback uncertainty is far from finished for the Atlanta Falcons. No doubt, everyone wants to see Michael Penix Jr. return as soon as possible; maybe you could throw Tua Tagovailoa into the fold as well. But with them both injured, QB3 Cooper Rush got the start in Week 1 against the Steelers. In the 20-13 loss, Rush was not good enough; if he continues to play that way as the starter, you can kiss any potential win goodbye. If both QBs are hurt, we'd have a much better chance of winning
3 winners (and 4 losers) from Falcons' predictable Week 1 loss vs. Steelers (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Atlanta Falcons had the most predictable Week 1 game possible: in the 20-13 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, they couldn't move the ball on offense and missed field goals, while, much like last year, the defense played well enough. It is the same story, different year. Hopefully, the inevitable quarterback change will spark this dead offense in the next week or two. There were a few clear winners and losers from the first game of season. It didn't take long for us to realize the Falcons' sta
Cooper Rush may force the Falcons to turn to Jack Strand sooner than expected (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It may seem like a stretch, but the Atlanta Falcons should be prepared to throw their undrafted rookie quarterback, Jack Strand, right into the fire in his NFL debut. With Tua Tagovailoa set to miss the season opener against the Pitsburgh Steelers due to an oblique injury, and Michael Penix Jr. also inactive as his recovery continues, the Falcons' QB room is down to just two: Strand and Cooper Rush, but the veteran is set to get the start later this afternoon. Strand showed out in the preseason,
Falcons finish with a not-so-ideal record in this season prediction (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Atlanta Falcons' season already feels in limbo. Fans and media are worried what the early season will look like with the uncertainty around the quarterback position. It truly feels like the season comes down to when Michael Penix Jr. can return from injury. Tua Tagovailoa looked horrible in the preseason due to ugly fumbles and his spamming of short passes. It is hard to see things improving against the top unit of each team. So, let's take a shot at how this season could play out for the Di
