He's back. They're at Green Bay, a team that is up and down.

Dirty birds have offensive talent. I don't think he's the long-term answer, though.

Penix isn't some world beater but he is 1000000 times better than Cooper Rush

Green Bay has been bad for an extended period of time.

They just broke a 7 game losing streak I think.

This should be a new beginning for the Falcons. I think they will win.

If they don’t, it will be another long season.

Yes, I am sure that Penix's QBR will be better than if he literally spiked the ball on every play

Yeah if your falcon fan you just want to see him better in the second half to show that he can improve as the season goes on.

I agree the Packers are not very good, but that streak is a little deceiving.

They lost their last four games last season with Love injured. They are 1-1 this year.

He's enough of a QB that the Green Bay defense wont be able to focus solely on Bijan Robinson.

In two games the Falcons are -6 in turnover ratio. Dead last. They can not win if that isn't improved.

The Falcons being a 4.5pt dog in Green Bays home opener is generous to say the least.

I would think they try to get the running game going and short passes. No need for him to sit all day in the pocket he will be a sitting duck back there.

and I'll love it

Vegas expects it to be reasonably close

You get 3 points being at home so a 1.5pt dog tells me they expect Atlanta to hang around in this one

I think I saw an article somewhere that said that Atlanta's combined QBR for the last game was 12.5 - which is exactly the score a QB would get for spiking the ball every down for the entire game.



So, there really isn't anywhere for the Failcons to go but up from here. The other two QB's were bad - really bad - but was their performance due strictly to their own play, or was the entire offense just as bad? If their performance so far was even partly due to the entire offense sucking, then Penix is in for a very long night - and that would be true even if they were playing Miami.

It is kinda hard, though, to understand how they could be THAT bad with Bijon in the backfield. I guess the ineptness extends into their coaching ranks as well.

I guess we'll see tonight. GO PACK GO!
