Welcome to Kirkwood - Official 2024 Atlanta Falcons Thread

[AVXL]

We’re no better than we were with Arthur Smith and the last few years of Dan Quinn but with a better roster “on paper”. If he’s holding Penix back to continue starting Kirk, then fukk him. If not and the franchise wants to continue to start Kirk against his wishes, my apologies to Rah.

Raheem is not pulling Kirk unless that decision comes from upstairs

It makes me wonder if MPJ is ready as well as who’s making the final decision on player personnel

No way you can see Kirk’s performance and advocate he should still start for this team but here we are

100 million dollars guaranteed is the reason. I doubt MPJ would look any worse than the TO machine we got now. If Bo Nix and all those other guys can run out there and take their licks and improve as the year progresses, I do not believe Penix is so inept that he can’t go out there and make a difference or at least gain experience

The problem with this team is the age of Arthur Blank. Let me explain.

This team needed a complete rebuild, inside and out. Arthur Blank remembers what it was like when this team was crap, he knows he only has so many years left, and he desperately wants to win. So instead of a rebuild he thinks this is a team that with a patch or two can be legit competitive. It isn’t!

The defensive line is shyt. The offensive line is crap. One QB is old and injured and the other needs to be developed. TE might as well not be on the field. Etc……. This in not a team that’s needs just a patch. You need to be elite at something to win a title. Not only are we not elite at anything, we aren’t even good at anything. We don’t even have a coach that is elite at something.

Rich McKay probably won’t let MPJ start

Dude always makes the wrong hires. Him and Rich McKay. Plus from everyones account, the GM wanted to draft a QB, but Blank wanted to hedge the bet with a "proven QB" like Cousins, instead of picking up someone off the scrap heap like Fields, Russ, or Jameis.

The GM probably needs to be in the hot seat. I understand he inherited a dumpster fire but this is year 4 and they are trash in a trash division.

Yall ready for Ridder to throw 4 tds on us tomorrow night

Tampa gonna run the tables and we’re behind Minnesota, Green Bay, Seattle, Washington when it comes to the Wild Card spots so I’m hoping he does. That way we can potentially get Penix some experience and stop being delusional about this team and their playoff hopes

A lot of Falcons fans at the stadium. Didn't know Falcons fans traveled that well.

It's Vegas. Spirit flies there dirt cheap.

Paying 100 million dollars for someone to hand the ball off.

Defense and S/T (minus Koo) have been solid the past few weeks. Kirk just can't do a got damn thing right
