I can’t believe this. Raheem will actually let Penix rest. Good move

  1. The return of KIRKTOBER. Just make sure he’s back on the bench before the magic runs out

  2. 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

  3. Logical thing to do. Let’s see how it goes. Wonder if everything will be in pistol information with Kirk playing.

  4. 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

  5. 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

  6. 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.

  7. 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

  8. 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.

  9. 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.

  10. 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.

  11. 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”

  12. If Kirk plays lights out, leave him in, ride the hotter hand. This is simple, JUST WIN BABY WIN!

  13. 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.

  14. Good move. Wish he’d done this last season after Cousins injury. Glad he’s learning from his mistakes.

  15. Let penix rest a couple weeks, the phins are in shambles right now and should be a W if Robinson pounds the ball

  16. Penix is banged up. Give him a rest. We are paying Cousins. Simple story. Nothing more, nothing less.
