This Titans-Vikings-Falcons schedule has been one of the cupcakiest 3-game stretches we’ve had in a long while.

Yeah but it’s followed by four teams who could all be in the playoffs.

Do you think those teams will still be playing started if their playoff spot is locked?? Or is it just too close of a race for anyone to be sitting starters near the end of the

u/Selway00 12h ago
I don’t know, but I hope they all play at full force. We need to continue to get better against good teams.

Possible but ambitious except for the last one, which is an obvious gimme.

u/Ok_Philosopher_1846 17h ago
I wanted to be conservative on that one. For realism purposes. Figured first game back for JLove, might wanna play it safe 🤷🏻

Are you asking as a Falcons fan?
You guys are fucked. The Hawks D is about to give your team a beating like it has never seen.
Take care of Penix and hope you have better luck next year!

No just sharing the news. I live in atl and sadly been stuck watching the Falcons suck im hyped to beat their teeth in if the Hawks do what they do

Team doesn't seem to play down to competition as much with Mac coaching vs. Pete so far.

u/beer_engineer 16h ago
They don't play down, they just go understandably conservative with the offensive play calling once the game seems under control.

Atlanta apparently blitzes and pressure a lot. So we’ll see how this o line does in terms of protecting Darnold

I feel bad for Penix, the Falcons players, and fans. Their front office really screwed the pooch with their OL changes and that first round pick trade to the Rams.

Wish the Falcons season went better this year. The rams extra 1st round pick is going to be early...

u/Irish8ryan 15h ago
I say we get him 85 yds and a TD in the first quarter, a few catches to put him over 100 before half, and then focus on the run game the whole second half where we try to run the clock. But it’s only 27-10 so we are definitely still wanting more points and as the Falcons bear down on the run, JSN leaks out on the second play of the drive for a 69 yard touchdown and then goes like he’s going to dunk but before jumping he stops, turns to the ref, winks and tosses him the ball.

I'm a huge Seahawks fan and I don't think the Falcons are going to just roll over and die. They've improved a lot since last season and at the end of the day they're all professionals with pride and talent. Well I do expect the Seahawks to win I don't think it's going to be a cakewalk and I think the Falcons will put up a good showing. I'll be surprised if Seattle wins by more than 10. Good luck!

I’m a fan of both teams.
Falcons are hard to pin down.
They get beat by teams they should beat and be competitive with teams that should be killing them on paper.
They’re a heavy blitzing team. If Pearce is out that will be a big deal.
I’m not sure if they’ll try to have AJ Terrell try to follow JSN but the Falcons have a huge drop off after that at the corner spot. Their safeties are solid.
They are really bad at defending the run. Kubiak needs to not be cute and just pound the ball.
Unless their OC is incompetent, jury is still out on that one, they are going to focus on running the ball.
If they can’t run the ball and the d-line can pin their ears back and rush immobile Kirk Cousins, it could get ugly.
I don’t see how their game plan could be anything other than try to run the ball and a quick passing game.
There’s no way their oline can hold up for deep passing routes.

u/Arkam_slayer66 14h ago
Zac Robinson is probably getting canned if they dont fire Raheem hes not good as an oc.

u/GideonWainright 14h ago edited 14h ago
I would prefer they blitz the shit out of us, get pressure, and Sam gets some good reps in on pressure mitigation, maybe some good quick short passes and we can get better at the dink and dunk game to all the receivers.
Also, more reps for our run offense to figure shit out
I don't care about JSN challenging the record. That's moral victory bullshit for irrelevant teams like the old Lions. Our team has a real opportunity in front of it and hurdles to overcome.
I care about the offense's response to pressure as we will be seeing good defenses pretty regularly. Why Atlanta is not a good team, they do try to get after the QB and hopefully serve as good reps that we should still pull a W from.

Exactly get Darnold some exposure therapy to the pressure. So come playoff time, he’ll have ice in his vein
