They knew the entire time that Penix was going to be returning on week 3 for this game in Green Bay, so they treated Weeks 1 and 2 like they were scrimmage/preseason games because this team is a totally different team, different schemes, different play calling, etc from weeks 1 and 2

Falcons look pretty damn good

Cooper Rush played like garbage on Defense and my God, that dude missed 2 or 3 field goals... He tried so hard to do everything other than play QB

2 games is 12% of an NFL season.

You're saying they willingly gambled and tanked 12% of their season in order to....trick the Green Bay Packers?

In a league where every single loss could end up being critical at the end of the season?

Ok. I guess that's logical.

Are you suggesting that they purposely lost a division game?


ETA: meant for OP

No NFL team is going to purposely sand bag games, there's not enough of them.

If Penix was healthy they could have easily beaten the sorry Steelers and possibly the Panthers and be 3-0.

NFL's highest paid offensive guards

#1 Chris Lindstrom Atlanta Falcons $102,500,000
#4 Mathew Bergeron Atlanta Falcons $96,000,000

All Falcons jokes aside, given Penix is an elite deep ball passer, it's going to be very hard to stop that offense

Very few teams have a front 7 capable of containing Bijan with that line and good luck playing single high vs Penix. Atlanta is unironically one burner away from potentially having the best offense in the league due to how current NFL defenses are built/schemed

Well we have seen them play 3 times in last 3 weeks and he had 1 very good game and 2 average games- so I would say you are wrong about teams stopping him.

As a matter of fact if he was so awesome and unstoppable why did the run their first play in the Red Zone last night? 3 games in.

Hes a talented back, no doubt but the Falcons are still about a .500 teams.

Hard for anyone to take you seriously when you lose at HOME to the panthers by 30.

Penix is the key to unlocking that offense with his downfield passing, against Rush defenses could simply stack the box

It's better to let people think you're stupid then open your mouth and remove all doubt.
