Welcome to Kirkwood - Official 2024 Atlanta Falcons Thread

[AVXL]

BTW, I’ve shared this with a couple of my Bird Brehs @The ADD @Motife43 but Raheem is coaching for his job the next 3 weeks. For as bad as Kirk has been, Raheem hasn’t been that far behind as far as coaching is concerned (Monday night was coaching malpractice).

 

[Point Blank]

I don't agree with this move, yes Kirk has been playing bad the later stretch of this season. But this is a very bad move to put in a unproven rookie quarterback in a very high pressure situation where the margin of error is very thin for this franchise trying to get into the playoffs.

Man hell nah, after last night you think we stood a chance going 3-0 with Kirk after seeing whag happened last night?!

I’ll take my chances with the rook with teams not having much film and actually have to account for deep passes and pocket movement.

let Atlanta burn

 

[Nostalgic]

Ehh, might as well see what he can do. Going against the giants is a nice game to start too.

You agree with trotting Kirk back out there with how he’s looked the past 5 weeks?

If Kirk would have laid an egg this upcoming Sunday against the Giants (which basically ends in the result of our season being over), then hell yeah start Penix, the Falcons need to see what they have going into next season.

I just feel this is a very knee jerk reaction, The Falcons are putting the season on the line with a unproven rookie quarterback coach Rah is making this move like his job is on the line he's still in his first season with this team.

Bro have you watched him play this season? Serious question

Kirk has been up and down all season but this stretch he’s been on the last 5 games:

1-4 record
62.7 completion percentage
236 yards passing
1 TD, 9 INTs
Passer rating: 63.8

Not to mention he leads the league in INTs and 3rd in the league in fumbles lost for the season. What more evidence do you need with 3 games left in the year that it was time for a change?

With this move, this is basically the organization saying the season is over.

No way. You risk losing the locker room by keeping a guy with 1td in 5 games in the starting lineup.

You keep cousins in and that is a sign you have given up on the season

Penix is not being thrown into the fire. He is being eased into it, that's the whole point of sitting behind cousins all these games. He is more ready now, than he was week 1

I feel like Cousins is injured too. He all the sudden cant throw the ball past 10 yards. He been playing like a slower, less efficient Marcus Mariota

By keeping Kirk in the starting lineup that was basically the organization saying the season was over

We weren’t going anywhere fast with Cousins, that’s clear to anyone watching the team week to week

 

[AJtheOne]

Y’all better not ruin our tank as soon as Penix throws a pick , Kirk better come back

 

[Black White Sox Hat]

New year,same energy
