"Considering the defensive personnel likely missing for Sunday's game against the Patriots, the onus falls heavily on the offense to be efficient and convert red-zone opportunities. They need to be ready to score 30 points against this high-level caliber of opposition. It's certainly possible with Michael Penix Jr. and Drake London returning from injury. What raises major doubt is how limited the offense is in its operation."
"Play action is a total afterthought. They are running wide outside zone so frequently, with repetitive motions in mainly the same two formations. Zac Robinson's offense has been labeled as predictable and formulaic by analysts across the league. Watching defenses anticipate plays shows there is truth behind those designations. Raheem Morris is under intense scrutiny for how his team has looked lifeless in multiple losses against below-average teams. A team with playoff expectations can't be dominated in the way they were by Carolina and Miami."
Falcons face a daunting two-game stretch against New England and Indianapolis with a wounded defense missing key personnel, forcing the offense to shoulder responsibility. The offense must be efficient in the red zone and capable of producing about 30 points to remain competitive. Michael Penix Jr. and Drake London returning from injury helps, but the offense remains limited: play action is rarely used, outside zone runs dominate, and formations are repetitive. Zac Robinson's scheme is widely viewed as predictable and formulaic. Raheem Morris faces scrutiny for poor adjustments and slow starts, leaving playoff hopes and fan confidence in jeopardy.
