Week 4 Preview
The Atlanta Falcons are coming off a brutal 0-30 loss to the Carolina Panthers. It was an embarrassing game, and if something similar happens during this game, firings need to happen. Here’s what I expect to happen for this week’s game against the Washington Commanders.
Who’s Out?
For the Falcons, CB A.J. Terrell and WR KhaDarel Hodge will be out. Dee Alford will be starting in Terrell’s spot. For the Commanders, QB Jayden Daniels, WR Terry McLaurin and WR Noah Brown are out. Marcus Mariota will be starting for Daniels.
What Should We Expect?
If the Falcons have changed defensively and offensively over the last week, then there’s a chance that we could win this game. I don’t have high hopes though. Washington has looked too good over these last few weeks, even without their star QB. Marcus Mariota and Dan Quinn want to win in Atlanta, there’s no doubt about that. We cannot let them get the satisfaction of winning against an organization that has a disdain for them.
Penix looked bad last week. He took responsibility for the loss in a press conference, and he’s been practicing. Every quarterback has bad games, and this was exacerbated by the horrible play calling that was made last week. If he bounces back, then I’m back on the Penix train. If he doesn’t, fire the coaches. I still believe in Penix, there’s still multiple months of football left to be played. He needs to develop, and going against opponents like this will help.
I still am not confident about this game, but I think it’ll be close. My prediction for this game is..
