Falcons postgame positives and negatives

[over the mountain]

Im a Cousins fan but the 2 interceptions were on him to varying degrees. i didnt expect this level of inaccuracy from him. the inside post route was his money route but he seems to be off time, throwing it behind guys. i dont think he is throwing it late, just not leading guys enough.

with desean out, that intermediate middle area is not cleared out like it used to be. tighter windows but cousins has to improve his mid passing game. i did not expect this coming into week 1.

1st int - inaccurate ball, unfortunate bounce, nothing more to it imo.

2nd int - cousins makes a blind throw. Im guessing pre-snap he reads pressure and reads Grant as his hot route. But .... post-snap, cousins just throws it out there. i dont think he got to read the play post snap, i dont think he saw anything expect some big guys coming free towards him and he just throws it out there and hopes for the best. He just threw it out there hoping his pre-snap coverage read was accurate and Grant would be where he was supposed to be.

I know I am asking a lot, but it was 2nd and 8, not 4th down.

you just dont make a blind throw like that.

when live bullets are flying, im sure its hard to make proper split second decisions but kirk didnt have to treat that down like the game was on the line. it wasnt.
