Kirk Cousins Is Costing The Atlanta Falcons Big Time It May Be Time For Micheal Penix Jr

[@JonnyTrumpetMan]

I was at this game, and while the roof of Mercedes Benz Stadium was closed, it may as well have been wide open. There was no air in this building as we watched Kir Cousins miss open receiver after open receiver and instead throw straight to the Chargers four times. Kyle Pitts was like a ghost on the field and Youngway Koo was like a middle school kicker.

[@user-Drop_Davis]

Pitts plays like his nuts ain’t dropped…he’s too soft.

[@BlitZnGodzilla117]

Vikings fans tried to tell you

[@Paula-mv8im]

Vikings' fans are delusional. They glaze up Darnold even when he played bad. And criticize Kirk even though Darnold threw more INTs (negated by a penalty....still a bad and underthrown) than Kirk did in one game and has been a turnover machine.

[@richborn6700]

​@@Paula-mv8imDarnold 21/10 compared to Kirks 17/13 TD/INT. Sam is almost a decade younger and 1/10 of the price. Cousins willingly kept asked to for max money on mid production while watching the 2017 defense get priced out. Darnold as a one year bridge QB with enough upside to bring back? We're not delusional, we're pragmatic

[@madmaxmedia]

Spot on observation about the Penix pick. The Falcons' biggest mistake was that contract they gave Cousins. TBH the dollar value per year isn't so bad as is their ability to get off of the contract. He has a no-trade clause, his 2025 salary is guaranteed, and cutting him in 2026 would cost them $3M5M in dead cap. If Cousins doesn't turn it around in a game or 2, yeah they should definitely give Penix a few games to show what he's got. If he's got any potential then they should start Penix next year full-time and Cousins becomes an expensive back up until hopefully they work out a trade. Worst case scenario is to play Cousins only because of his contract.

[@blackfreud9048]

Cuz’ should be a game managing back up, at this point.

[@soldiertosoldierhawaiireal4353]

Kirk never elevated anything but his wallet , he isn’t that guy

I wouldn't even give him a full game. If he doesn't produce in the 1st half, Penix needs to go in. TB is tied 6-6. ATL has to win every game or only lose when TB loses. If TB wins and ATL loses, they're 1 game back. That'd mean hoping they lose a game when ATL wins

I agree with you, this should be Cousins’ last chance. If Kirk doesn’t play well against Minnesota, I think Penix should be the one to start against the Raiders next week.

[@gfweis]

Only disagreement I have with your analysis is that I don't think we're as good a team as you do. Looking at who wins man-on-man contests against the teams we've played this year, we're no better than NFL-average. That's the team management has built. There's hype galore about many of our players who are actually just average. And God knows what the problem is with Pitts. Did you see him give up in the middle of a play yesterday? I suspect he was angry about not being used. But the simple truth is that if the coaches thought he was reliably good enough to be playing more, he'd be playing more. I expect we'll see him traded by next season. Another front-office failure.

That third interception is Kirk's equivalent to Cam Newton's failure to jump on the fumbled ball. He had a clear path to the end zone, but he couldn't be arsed to use his feet and instead opted to throw an egregious INT. As for YoungHoe Koo, it may be time to make some phone calls for next season. Maybe Hot Rod deserves another shot at the league?

Kirk needs to have a seat , koo needs to go the coach needs to make the call if not he needs to go I’m disappointed because the coach will not sit people down and it seems he is reading a script

[@samueldavis1524]

I can't trust Kirk Cousins. I think Zack Robinson didn't trust Kirk Cousins either. Play calling was a little off. Their tied for first place with the Buccaneers. I don't feel good about Koo either. There must be something in the air, because around the league kickers who have been solid , are missing two and three field goals a game. Ironically Kirk Cousins has to go to Minnesota where the fans are glad he's gone. You talk about pressure. I think Father time waits on no one. Kirk Cousins is aging right before our eyes.

[@shonuf5152]

Should have a three game division lead. Makes no sense that they even brought that bum to Atlanta. Shoulda pursued Russell Wilson. And Kirk's issues aren't stemming from aging, lack of speed or even arm strength. Hes simply making ill-advised, deplorable decisions due to lack of patience and poise. Sometimes he gets greedy and stupidly forces matters. That's the problem.

[@slickchick5811]

dawwww

[@JSession]

At least you admit it. My co worker is still living in fantasy land. Only reason I know cousins is a choke artist is because my brother in law is a Vikings fan. Also guess who we’re playing next smh ! Start Penix

[@Paula-mv8im]

Since he became a full-time starter in 2015, Kirk is 6th among active players for game winning drives and 4th quarter comebacks. He’s tied with Stafford for having the most game-winning drives in a single season (8) and is also tied with Stafford for the most fourth-quarter comebacks in a single season (8). He led the greatest comeback in NFL history (33 points). In 2020, Kirk led the NFL in fourth-quarter touchdown passes when the score margin of the game was within three points. In stating that Kirk is a “choke artist” tactically disregards reality, mathematics, and reason.

Start Penix....guess you don't want to win any more games.

[@laryanryan9170]

The Falcons use Pitts as a decoy. It's not his fault. When he was open Cousins was deliberately ignoring him. You could see his frustration with Cousins. I saw Pitts run and cut left to draw defenders his way and turn and the actual play and pass going to the other side of the field. That's the same thing they did with Julio and that's why he left the Falcons. It's not Pitts it's the trash offensive scheme and an aging quarterback who doesn't throw to him as if it's something personal between them.

[@Paula-mv8im]

If Kirk is not throwing to Pitts it's because he is not getting separation or quits his route like he did in the end zone. And on that INT in the end zone, Pitts is completely covered when Kirk throws the ball. He is also lazy with catches and doesn't go after the ball or box out the defender. I was hoping Pitts would be better this season with Kirk challenging him, but he is not very reliable when his QB needs him.

[@MrTriplerinc]

It was time three games ago

[@Paula-mv8im]

Sure, Kirk didn't throw a touchdown in the Saints game but he threw 300+ yards, the Falcons ran the ball A LOT, scored on the ground and only lost by three points. What does it matter if you score a TD with a pass or a run? That was hardly a bad game. Falcons’ fans are such drama queens and so fickle it’s embarrassing.
