Cousins 'disappeared' with losing Falcons debut
The loss was Cousins' first start since 2020
After a long wait, Kirk Cousins finally made his Falcons debut on Sunday. Unfortunately, it was a disappointing one, as the Falcons lost 27-15 to the Eagles. Cousins finished the game 25-of-39 passing for 245 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. He was also sacked three times.
Cousins had a solid game statistically, but the Falcons offense struggled as a whole
Cousins' numbers were respectable, but the Falcons offense struggled to move the ball consistently. They only managed 286 total yards and converted just 2-of-11 third downs. The running game was also ineffective, as Cordarrelle Patterson was held to just 25 yards on 10 carries.
The Falcons are now 0-2 on the season and will need to improve quickly if they want to avoid falling further behind in the NFC South
The loss drops the Falcons to 0-2 on the season. They will need to improve quickly if they want to avoid falling further behind in the NFC South. The Saints and Buccaneers are both 2-0, and the Panthers are 1-1. The Falcons will have a chance to get back on track next week when they host the Rams.
Cousins will need to play better if the Falcons are going to win games
If the Falcons are going to turn things around, they will need Cousins to play better. He needs to be more accurate with his passes and make better decisions. He also needs to get the ball out of his hands quicker. The Falcons offensive line needs to give him more time to throw, and the receivers need to run sharper routes.
The Falcons have a lot of work to do, but they can still turn things around
The Falcons have a lot of work to do, but they can still turn things around. They have a talented roster, and they have a good coach in Arthur Smith. If they can get Cousins playing better and get the rest of the offense on track, they can be a playoff contender.
