The Falcons are so banged up it’s almost laughable at this point, as they’re randomly down Robert Alford coming out of a bye week that was supposed to help them get healthy. But we can’t wallow too much, because the Falcons have won two in a row and other teams have plenty of injuries to deal with.
Case in point: Washington, this week’s opponent for the Falcons, who will be down their star left tackle, a terrific receiving back who might have been able to eat against this Atlanta defense, and one of their more useful wide receivers.
