Wallpaper Wednesday: Taylor Heinicke Earned His Stripes
Taylor Heinicke got his second career NFL win on Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons. The way in which he got that second win though, was spectacular.
Two highlight reel touchdowns in the last five minutes, to steal a win at the Mercedes Benz Stadium.
In Atlanta. Where Heinicke was born and grew up.
He had a ton of friends and family there to witness it all.
Well done young man.
First Look: WFT Vs New Orleans and Opening Lines For Week 5
The Washington Football Team return home to Fed Ex Field this week, to face the New Orleans Saints in Week 5 action. Both teams come into the game with identical 2-2 records.
Washington are fresh off a big win over the Falcons, that saw Taylor Heinicke pull off some late game heroics.

The win moved Washington to 2-2 on the season, and one game back of the Dallas Cowboys in the NFC East race.
Atlanta Victory Comes At Huge Injury Cost For Washington
Washington may have dodged a loss on Sunday, but they weren’t able to dodge the injury bug.
It bit them hard. Really hard.
This week against New Orleans, the WFT will likely be without four of last week’s starters thanks to injuries. Two of the players are likely gone for the season.
Washington Eke Out Last Minute 34-30 Win Over Atlanta
Taylor Heinicke and the Washington Football Team saved their best for last. Washington scored two highlight-reel touchdowns in the final five minutes, to steal a 34-30 win over the Atlanta Falcons at the Mercedes Benz Stadium on Sunday.
For much of Sunday’s game it looked like Washington’s continued defensive struggles may cost them. Matt Ryan and the league’s third worst offense, still hung 374 yards on Washington. Ryan threw four touchdown passes, and was 25 of 42 for 283 yards.
Fortunately for Washington, Heinicke had other ideas. Playing in front of family and friends in the metropolitan city that he grew up in, Heinicke pulled a proverbial rabbit out of his helmet in the last five minutes.

Flashback Friday: Falcons Fan Anecdote Mixed With Some Site History
I have a memorable little anecdote. Memorable for me anyway, and hopefully, humorous to you. It requires some context to make much sense, and that gives me an opportunity to reflect back on some site history. I don’t do that as often as I should.
I should probably do it more with next year being our twentieth year in existence.
The F2FA
Way back in the day, the site was part of something called the F2FA – The Fan 2 Fan Alliance. We were webmasters who were chosen – one per NFL team – to form an alliance that collectively provided coverage of the entire NFL. This is pre Bleacher Report / Fansided etc. Same exact idea though.

The WFT defense that was so talked about in the offseason, seemed to have no answers.
