That's why Penix was my favorite QB in last year's draft. He is nails when the pressure is on in a late game drive

Do not understand why so many of these younger coaches sit on timeouts like they are worth points.

this might be some of the worst clock management I’ve ever seen. No excuse to pocket timeouts.

Ouch. Daniels gets absolutely lit up on a run because he had the TE can't tell if Ertz or 87 uncovered in the left corner but didn't throw it.

Great game for sure. The saving timeouts may have cost Falcons the game. Daniels is unreal and took the game over. Why do I see injury in his near future. Hope not but he is running like another Washington QB from a few years ago. Too often.

He's great but even on that winning drive the play where he's absolute lit up on the run, the TE is completely uncovered in the left corner for a TD. I don't know if's Ertz or 87, but he didn't see him and took off. The question is how quickly he progresses from taking off and running, and nearly scoring but getting absolutely clobbered, to seeing the uncovered TE and getting the easy TD.

But he did make up for it threaded the ball between 2 defenders and Ertz did the rest.

If he can stay healthy he's going to have a great career

Still not sure on Penix, you can see the arm strength and nobody throws a tighter spiral than he does. But he missed lots of throws and it always seemed to me because of the low release point on his throws when he misses he misses high.

He played so much in college you don't know how close to his ceiling he is. But definitely was the right move going to him for the future, sure opened up the game tonight for London to have a stronger arm QB out there

London was having his best pro year with Cousins under center and had several good games with him at QB so not sure about that.

Yeah but the deeper throws were not being made. I had London on my fantasy team all year the number of times he's open deeper and doesn't get the ball from Cousins was really obvious.

The guy on the Falcons that's the real issue is Pitts. He caught a TD today but he had 2 huge drops earlier in the game which has been his issue his entire career. Like Marv he's a body catcher and he drops a ton of balls.

I don't know what his contract is but I bet Atlanta would probably love to move on from him. With the way they run the ball they're probably better off with a better run blocking TE.
