Live from Southern California, this is the Jim Rome show.

Yesterday I started the program by talking about the Falcons, because it felt like they were at a breaking point after that hideous performance on Monday night in Vegas, which again, it was a win.

But I did say yesterday, that was one of the rare times when a win did not feel like a win.

And I bet it felt like a straight-up loss from my guy, Kirk Cousins, because he might not have

just lost that game.

He also lost his job, even though he won that game. He may not have lost that game, but also lost his job. Even though he won that game.

He may not have lost that game, but he lost his job.

That's right.

It is officially Michael Pennix Jr. time in the ATL.

In other words, Atlanta, it's time to get ready for that big.

Penix energy. There you go ahead. Stop asking for it. He's time to get ready for that big. Penix, energy.

There you go, head.

Stop asking for it.

Big Head loves that so much.

James Kelly, obviously.

Listen, they hope that he will.

They hope that he's going to.

They need it and they weren't getting it from Kirk Cousins.

They were getting that little Pennix energy from Kirk, unfortunately.

And this whole Kirk Cousins thing is hard for me because I like the guy so much and I respect

the guy so much.

And as tough as it is for my guy, Kirk, it's an obvious call for Atlanta.
