This is unbelievable

look i’m horribly sorry for posting a pat mcafee clip here but i don’t know if this has made it to bluesky yet and it has to be seen to be believed i’ve never seen the entire mcafee ecosystem unite in disbelief that they are all smarter than their guest like this

The world where the Falcons stay healthy, win like 8 or 9 games & the NFCS is in play. Penix trending up, hasn't had a bad game (imo) this year. Would be huge if Penix shows enough to allow us to address other needs in the draft

Awesome, awesome W for the Falcons. Was weirdly optimistic going into this one, but didn't think we'd see Penix play the best game of his career and the defense come up huge repeatedly. 3-4 and completely in the running for the NFCS

Falcons are 3-4 and if they had a normal schedule and didn’t have to play Cooper Rush for two games they could conceivably be 5-2

Would absolutely love Penix to just stay healthy and keep up his overall play this year. Falcons avenues to getting a new QB kinda suck. Fingers crossed.

Much as I have some issues with Penix's overall game, I really have always appreciated how willing he is to throw it downfield. That's half the damn battle.

Probably Penix's best game of the season so far, based off live viewing. Has been accurate all day, started hot. Hasn't had any "hot damn" throws, but been making the right decisions and dealing with pressure/blitzes well.

I would have preferred them go a bit faster and try for a TD, but Stefanski has gotten burned a bit trying to be aggressive in recent weeks. Overall, they executed the burning-the-clock aspect pretty well. If Dotson catches it, they probably are trying for a TD. Penix has been sharp today

I'll be interested to see if the Falcons try and get a deepshot on one of those boots if the 49ers aren't gonna crash to the QB super hard like the Bears/Ravens did. Would love to see Penix air it out a bit if the run game is gonna be functioning this week

Maybe the Falcons just need another new OC/DC/HC and they'll finally be good. It couldn't be that the talent on the team is supremely overrated

Offensive line will be by far the biggest thing to fix next year. Just cannot run the ball and it sets this team up for difficult 3rd downs all the time
