Week 3 seemed to enjoy smashing potential narratives as the undefeated teams are thinning out. The crew look through all 16 games. patreon.com/FinalDown
Punk RaiderHostJimHostHannahHostWe're going to start, as we always do, with the first game of the weekend.
That was on Thursday night.
That was the Falcons at the Packers.
And prime time isn't a good time to lose a home game to a team that hasn't been in the red zone.
They're opening two games.
That's what happened on Thursday to the Green Bay Packers.
Michael Penix was making his season debut at quarterback for the Falcons and looked rusty as hell in the first quarter.
Getting picked on the opening drive, it would have been incredibly easy to fold up, but the Packers didn't score on that turnover.
It took Christian Watson's touchdown catch for Green Bay for something in the Falcons to snap.
He went off for 208 scrimmage yards and two rushing touchdowns.
He had 194 receiving yards, as the Packers just couldn't keep up.
As the tension built, Jordan Love seemed to make more mistakes, and the pick of him at the end as they were driving for some consultation points was... sums up the display pretty well.
The final score was the Falcons 35, Packers 14.
I mean, I'm just always disappointed in the Atlanta Falcons, quite frankly.
I guess getting Penix back was a bit of a jolt of adrenaline that they needed.
And I mean, just the Packers are just diabolical.
Like they just, it's like it's their first day on earth.
Like they've all been beamed down from alien spaceships and have only been watching like the longest yard and remember the Titans as football references.
And just so many blown coverages.
So people just didn't know where they would go in so many times.
I mean, you know, Jordan Love, he wasn't great, but there was so many times where he was throwing a good ball and And it was landing like in their hands and they just weren't closing their hands around it.
And he was under throwing and overthrowing, but yeah, it's like, Oh, the packers were so bad to be fair i think you're fine
