2. Not bad for his first game. The real test comes next Sunday night.

3. Elite accuracy, kid can spin it.

4. Husky fan here if they give him time he will dot it up.

5. The fact that we did all this without kyle pitts tells me all i need to know about how he is as a player lmao

6. Man what speed with the ball incredible 😮

7. Season is over thanks to Raheem Morris.

8. WOW the Falcons have officially found their QB!!

9. got dammit .. how the F*** we let TB overtake us after we beat them TWICE!!!! …….. as of TODAY (ONLY) im a temporary dallas fan!! GO DALLAS!

10. Kurt Cousins no likey.

11. I picked up the Falcons defense and special teams for my fantasy team because I knew they were playing the Giants and the Giants were bad and they got me 26 points

12. Man, he throws a pretty pass!

13. Look at how sharp his throws are we haven’t had a arm like that since Mike Vick

14. Gone be special

15. Giants 2-12 record really

16. His draft day film was good and I liked the choice for Atlanta. He showed himself nicely today.

17. Lets add the perfect pass to Pitts that Pitts dropped and tossed to the DB LOL

18. It was his 1st game, no interceptions: he can throw & read the defense. We haven't seen his mobility yet. Something about ATL and left handed QBs it always works out 💯!!. I think you've found you guy🏈!!. DONT PUT PRESSURE ON HIM NEXT WEEK vs WASHINGTON it's his second career game🤷🏻‍♂️!!. He should be good honestly💯✋🏼

19. 🎯🎯🎯🎯

20. He’s got a bright future ahead of him. I have more confidence than hope that us fans will stand behind him going forward

21. His release looks weird to me? What is it that I am seeing?

22. Bye kirk

23. michael penix jr is him

24. because of the failure of kirktober, it's kirkover

25. Pitts can go I’m tired of dude lol

26. Penix to Mooney is Money.🤑🤑🤑🤑

27. Let’s gooo keep killing it bro first game first dub #penixtime

28. Rams fan here, so happy for Raheem Morris. He's a great leader, great with player development, and I hope he's found his QB. Wish nothing but success for him.

29. Such great anticipation on his throws. Let the Penix era begin!

30. When I look at the tempo Penix has with the running game, Falcons focus should be controlling time of possession. Long methodical drives keeping other offenses off the fuel should be the strategy

31. As a Bucs fan, he has me worried 😦

32. Good to see so many good young QBs in the league

33. Way to go Penix, your 1st W💯💯🔥🔥

34. So much appreciation for Penix and Drew. From. Seattle.

35. He look good he look like uh franchise QB draft uh young Qb an good coach an good things gon happen takes notes my saints it ant rocket science 💯

36. He did good but let’s not forget he was playing the Giants who have only won 2 games all season.

37. Bros black and left handed and everyone wants to compare him to Vick when he plays nothing like Vick bro plays exactly like Russel Wilson on the Seahawks during the legion of boom

38. Penix is going to ballout in the NFL

39. Big Penix Energy!

40. Seahawks fan here, watched the kids when he played for UW. I really hope he balls out for y'all. It's his time. 💯

41. I like him a lot. Glad they kept the offense simple. It’s his debut and I think this was the perfect game to let him build his confidence. Now he put himself on tape and can make calculated improvements going forward. Congratulations Penix!!🍻🙏

42. I'm so happy for you Falcons fans. As a UW fan you have no idea how good you're gonna have it. He is so freaking good. Take care of him. He's the future of your franchise.

43. A lot of casual observers don’t understand the masterclass of a rookie first game Penix put together. I don’t care about that it was against the Giants but you see that defense can even play better with confidence that they won’t be put in difficult situations with bad turnovers. Penix is precise, reading the defense correctly mostly every time pre snap, quick and accurate, constantly looking off defenders in zone to where he isn’t going to throw. For those who watched the whole game, you would’ve seen that Penix maybe had two throws he’s wish he had back all game long. He made two tactical throw aways, threw two 50/50 balls one of which drew a PI. His WR had 5 drops one of which would’ve been a TD, and we all know the INT was entirely on Pitts. He did all this while protecting the ball and not taking sacks. The dude just doesn’t get sacked, and it gets to a point where you have to admit it’s a skill. That being said, this is why Penix puts up numbers and wins games. He’s really Bradyesque in play style as he out thinks the defense, gets the ball in the hands of his playmakers(we’ve all heard that one), and he doesn’t make a lot of mistakes. He also does all this while stretching the field with the best of the best. Man is going to the playoffs. I’m calling the victory against JD right now.

44. we're winning the super bowl
