There were some positives for the 2025 Atlanta Falcons but the fact that they came out of the season without a true #1 quarterback was huge. Michael Penix was hurt and went 3-6 in the nine games he started. Kirk Cousins wasn't the answer. They could rush the ball and were able to get interceptions. Outside of those two areas, they struggled and went 8-9 in a weak division.
They brought in Tua Tagovaila but he doesn't inspire confidence moving forward. There are some weapons on offense in Bijan Robinson and Drake London but without a stable and good quarterback they'll go to waste. Kyle Pitts had an excellent year and received a big contract. Atlanta was in a tough spot. He hadn't performed before 2025. It was either give him the extension or let him go.
I do think there is talent on the roster. Unfortunately, it hasn't equated to wins. Unless Tua or Penix step up, I don't think they get back to 8 wins. The schedule is tough as they'll have to face the AFC North. Receiver Johan Dotsan was maybe their flashiest move in free agency and doesn't move the needle. Unless the team makes major advances at QB and on defense, it could be a miserable season.
