IDK how Heinicke walks around with such a massive pair of balls

— WASHINGTON FOOTBALL (@HogsHaven) October 3, 2021

Taylor Heinicke has led a game-winning drive in the final minute of both of #WashingtonFootball's two wins. He led 12 game-winning drives in college.

— Grant Paulsen (@granthpaulsen) October 3, 2021

I'm going to need you to cite your sources on that one because I've seen nothing but game winning drives and offensive play that hasn't been here since what 2017? Maybe not an all pro just yet but that's my quarterback

THIS PLAY IS LUDACRIS

Before coming to Washington, JD McKissic was a role player at best in Seattle and Detroit. He's a serious asset for this team. 56-yarder late against the Giants and the GW TD vs. Atlanta. Not to mention all he did last year

— Pete Hailey (@PeteHaileyNBCS) October 3, 2021

J.D McKissic is largely responsible for this team not being 0-4. He’s a playmaker.

Ball game. Heinicke might have just saved Washington’s season

— JP Finlay (@JPFinlayNBCS) October 3, 2021

In his return home to Georgia as a starting QB:

- 290 passing yards

#TaylorHeinicke went 23/33 for 290 yds, 3 TDs & 0 INTs; had 5 carries for 43 yds; & led comeback win despite
- losing Logan Thomas, Antonio Gibson, Brandon Scherff, Dyami Brown & Cam Sims to injury

- #WFT allowing Falcons to go 10/16 on 3rd downs

- Dustin Hopkins missing 2 PATs

— Al Galdi (@AlGaldi) October 3, 2021

1000 yards, 8 TDS, 3 INTs in 4 games.

#4 is proving he belongs in the NFL.

Today’s win was a special one for Taylor ❤️

DeAndre Carter’s 101 yard kickoff return touchdown tied Brian Mitchell and Rashad Ross for the the longest in franchise history. It was the first return touchdown since November 24, 2019 vs. DET.

— Washington Football PR (@Wash_PR) October 3, 2021

Is there any "roughing the passer" in any way here that I'm missing? Ball still in Ryan's hands, @youngchase907 extends hands inside shoulders & not to chin/neck/head.

Please tell me what I'm not seeing? @LockedWFTPod @team980 @WashingtonNFL pic.twitter.com/aZCOkFiEhL

THIS is roughing the passer?! pic.twitter.com/eJfpkDb8sz

But Chase Young’s hit was roughing the passer… pic.twitter.com/6kLl3pZu6A

— Not Robert Griffin (@Pseudo_RGIII) October 4, 2021

Shocking that we had another dreadful call by @NFLOfficiating and we won't get an explanation in any way.

Instead the @NFL will hide behind hand picked media members to carry out their message.

— Chris Russell AKA The Rooster (@Russellmania621) October 4, 2021

This sure feels like a penalty on Daron Payne, but he manages to waste a ton of time by holding onto the ball and Matt Ryan after a long scramble. Leaves Falcons with just 1 second left to try a hail mary pic.twitter.com/0CuAj5fY74

— Mark Bullock (@MarkBullockNFL) October 3, 2021

You wanted man defense. There it was again. Touchdown.... Collins misses the tackle. Just incredible how inept this defense has been. Chance to have real momentum, get the ball back to open second half. And another bad series. Against a mediocre at best offense.

— John Keim (@john_keim) October 3, 2021

That play sums up this defense... A chance to make a big stop, hold to a FG and a bunch of missed tackles starting with a huge miss by Bostic. Inexcusable.

— John Keim (@john_keim) October 3, 2021

This is the worst TD Washington has conceded this season. Had 4 attempts to tackle the RB in the flat before he even got a 1st down, let alone the TD. Just horrific defense from Washington pic.twitter.com/2Szxopu8Xg

— Mark Bullock (@MarkBullockNFL) October 3, 2021

That was actually exhausting. So glad it’s over.

Always great to get a win; Heinicke played awesome in his revenge game. But the Falcons are bad and nothing with the defense has been fixed. So it’s hard to be optimistic.

— WASHINGTON FOOTBALL (@HogsHaven) October 3, 2021

Taylor McLaurin, the best player on the #WashingtonFootball team, caught 6 passes for 123 yards and 2 touchdowns today.

He will join us on G&D tomorrow at 4 PM.

— Grant Paulsen (@granthpaulsen) October 3, 2021

Terry McLaurin. Pro Bowler. Franchise legend. Whatever you wanna say, say it

— Pete Hailey (@PeteHaileyNBCS) October 3, 2021

Terry McLaurin is a verified superstar NFL wide receiver.

You grow as a team when you WIN on the road not playing your best ball. That why I called a Code Red! The guys responded with fight and pull out a VICTORY

“When we start balling and we start playing our asses off, I want y’all to write the same shit you’re writing.” - safety Bobby McCain, confident his group will get things right

— michael phillips (@michaelpRTD) October 3, 2021

LOL. McCain a little salty. John is right, they were praised all offseason. That's the issue. Now, they're bad and don't like the criticism. Been the issue here for years. This is just a different group. https://t.co/4E8yI8WC5g

— Washington Wire (@Washington_Wire) October 3, 2021

Since he went down that path, I then asked Bobby McCain if he understood why folks in the media or others are criticizing the defense considering the incoming hype and the current level. https://t.co/MAfBGdQNdn pic.twitter.com/a1pQSyMitk

— Ben Standig (@BenStandig) October 3, 2021

They tried lots of things defensively today but little worked. It's a garbage defense right now. One of the worst in the league as of now. If it doesn't improve dramatically, Heinicke, Gibson, McLaurin, etc are going to have to turn into the Chiefs on offense. #WashingtonFootball

Jon Allen says “not much left to say. We just have to do better”

— John Keim (@john_keim) October 3, 2021

Are we going to hold Dustin Hopkins accountable or are we going to do that “we believe in second chances” thing again

— Jordan Asri (@wfteamjordan) October 3, 2021

That's how we fight.
Let's keep it going‼️

We know about Taylor Heinicke's homecoming to Atlanta but J.D. McKissic said he had over 20 people in the stands watching him score the go-ahead TD. Quite the reunion for these guys.

One big positive so far this season:

The offensive line. Pass protection and run the blocking has been solid. #WashingtonFootball
