Protect your young qb. Well done and he is learning from last year
The return of KIRKTOBER. Just make sure he’s back on the bench before the magic runs out
I can’t believe it either. After years of watching our qb play through injuries, it’s refreshing to see a coach prioritize a player’s long-term health over one game, especially with a backup as solid as Kirk Cousins. It’s a smart move that shows the front office is serious about protecting our franchise QB

This is smart and why Kirk is being paid so much
Logical thing to do. Let’s see how it goes. Wonder if everything will be in pistol information with Kirk playing.
Kirktober is back
Is this the right call? Yes
Was it the right call to leave Penix in last week when it was clear he was injured? No
I’m so over this coaching regime
This is literally why it was sensible to keep Kirk for this season.
Controversy abound no matter how this goes. However in development for a qb not a bad thing at all to get him out of harms way for a little bit so he can recalibrate.
No ones journey is a straight arrow upward
This is why you don’t trade Cousins. We have an injury prone QB
I know the Falcons are going to try and be super conservative and run the Dolphins to death, which makes sense. I want to see them let Kirk sling it one last time though. With the possibility of a contract with another team next year, I fully expect him to be locked in for a random October game lmao.
Who knows, maybe it could be the Dolphins themselves that sign him with how Tua has played and how fragile he is.
Kirk was playing solid last year before the injury. I mean he threw for 500 against TB and we were 6-3. He should have just told people he was injured and couldnt play. Letting penix sit and continue to learn behind a vet while he heals is great in my book. Especially with a history of knee injuries. Hopefully Kirk doesnt completely shit the bed and someone may actually trade for him by next year. Im sure hes got a vengeance to earn a starting spot somewhere at this point. Especially with some of the QB’s that are starting around the league right now. Hopefully Zac rob gets his play calling figured out and puts Kirk under center instead of this pistol bullshit
Im fine with this. Lots of football left this season, no need to risk it.
A fully healthy Kirk is going to dismantle the Dolphins secondary.
Genuinely think he’s gonna outplay Penix.
I’m okay with it. A game we should win with MPJ or Cousins out there. This is why you have a competent backup.
Let MPJ rest and get ready for the second half.
We got a really sore Penis on our hands.
What if for the next week or two Kirk balls out????? lol
Kirk plays bad and the media calls us stupid for benching Penix.
Kirk plays well and the media calls us stupid for not benching Penix sooner.
I just wanna win games man.
And Florio was suggesting the Vikings should call us about Kirk yesterday. LOL
It’s officially Kirktober
Kirk is literally about to create a QB controversy for the rest of the year for us I can feel it. At this very moment, that wouldn’t necessarily be the worst thing jn the world for the Falcons.
Unexpected.
I guess it’s not very high risk because the dolphins have been ass… if Kirk loses Rah will get to say “see, that’s why we have Penix” and if Kirk wins he’ll just say “the dolphins are ass, this is still Penix’s job”
Just in time for the trade deadline 😈
The Falcons and Kirk + his agent need him to ball out imo
I don’t believe it. I still think Penix starts
This is not going to end well.
If Kirk plays lights out, leave him in, ride the hotter hand. This is simple, JUST WIN BABY WIN!
Oh God, let the controversy beg
What happens if Kirk gets injured tomorrow? Felipe time?!
Good. MPJ ain’t going anywhere and Kirk is owed a lot of money to do more than sit and smile on the sidelines lol.
Go prove it, you’re a competitor Kirk. Get those Dubs in.
Good move. Wish he’d done this last season after Cousins injury. Glad he’s learning from his mistakes.
Let penix rest a couple weeks, the phins are in shambles right now and should be a W if Robinson pounds the ball
500 yard game incoming
Penix is banged up. Give him a rest. We are paying Cousins. Simple story. Nothing more, nothing less.
