The Falcons ruled out CB Robert Alford and K Matt Bryant today. Good news for the #Redskins' receivers. Should be a great chance to get the offense going with some chunk plays.

— Grant Paulsen (@granthpaulsen) November 2, 2018

No Thompson means Kapri Bibbs takes on a larger role. Reminder: Bibbs dislocated his should LAST WEEK. He told me the injury is similar to what AP is playing through. Good luck to them.

— Ben Standig (@BenStandig) November 2, 2018

Redskins will be without two offensive stalwarts as they try to keep up with high-powered Falcons.

This falls under the category of Not Great, Bob.

With #Redskins Chris Thompson, Jamison Crowder and now Trent Williams ruled out vs. Falcons as expected, I really could see them being out for another game or two.

— Lake Lewis Jr (@LakeLewis) November 2, 2018

So #Redskins will have to outscore Julio & Co. without Trent, CT, and Jamison. Great.

#Redskins of course have dismal track record of acquiring vet safeties but favorable precedent for HHCD might be D-Hall, discarded former 1st-rd DB initially signed mid-season to short, cheap deal. Hopefully another successful half-season tryout.

— Burgundy Blog (@BurgundyBlog) November 2, 2018

How about @DeAngeloHall23 a bit ago on @gmfb breaking off an Aubrey Pleasant reference. Love it. Many #Redskins fans should remember him as an up-and-comer in the coaching ranks, now w/ #Rams & McVay. Now, can #Skins prevent another (Kevin O'Connell) from leaving for better gig?

Comparing #Redskins RB Adrian Peterson at age 33 in 2018 to John Riggins in 1983 - one of the great + age-30 seasons by a running back in NFL history. Can AP get there? https://t.co/3r0RspCGmJ

For the "Alex Smith looks slower" crowd: He said on his pod that @NextGenStats clocked him as the 5th-fastest Redskin in last week's game (during the chase after AP's fumble).

Nick Mullens has as many touchdown passes tonight as Alex Smith has in any game this season. There are 42 minutes to play.

How do you not feel amazing for Nick Mullens? Practiced at the bottom of San Francisco's roster for two years in anonymity probably assuming he would never start a game. Got a chance tonight and had a performance that can never be taken away from him. Such a cool story.

Honest question. Do you think Jon Gruden regrets leaving the MNF booth to come back to coach? (He will make $100M by doing so but he may ruin his reputation while causing himself a ton of stress in the process).

— Grant Paulsen (@granthpaulsen) November 2, 2018
