ATL Standard

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. — The Atlanta Falcons are gearing up for another significant game following a decisive 34-7 victory that has sparked enthusiasm among fans and the team. In a recent mailbag discussion, concerns about dropped passes were addressed, alongside reflections on the impact of the recent win.

David S. from Griffin, Georgia raised questions about dropped passes during the Falcons' last game. "Hi! Great that they are back in charge of the south," he noted but expressed concern over noticeable drops during the opening drive. He questioned whether something in Michael Penix Jr.'s delivery was causing receivers to adjust.

The response acknowledged David's concern but suggested not overemphasizing it: "After going back and rewatching every snap on offense, I tallied three drops in this game." It was highlighted that these occurred during Penix's first NFL game, suggesting it could be part of an adjustment period with his left-handed delivery. "Atlanta's receivers have actually talked about having to adjust to Penix’s left-handed delivery," adding that extra work had been put in by players to prepare for Penix's start.

Johnny B. from Atlanta expressed excitement over the team's performance: "WE'RE SO BACK." He questioned how such a win might energize both the team and fan base ahead of their upcoming prime-time matchup against Jayden Daniels and the Commanders.

The response indicated that Sunday's win provided much-needed energy: "I think your question, itself, is a testament to how the 34-7 win has energized this fan base." It emphasized contributions from various players and departments within the team as key factors in boosting morale and preparing them for what could feel like a playoff environment.

Fans are encouraged to submit further questions for future editions of The Mailbox as discussions continue around the Falcons' performances and prospects.
