Albin Countergambit?

I have a question...if I play 1 d4 d5 2 Nf3 and c4 later, what would be the main drawback of this different move line ? Right now it comes into my mind only some line in Gruenfield (where i do not play Nf3 - I play Ne2 instead), but nothing else...
Any ideas?

That was a very interesting game, i think i'll check out the albin a bit

Why'd you decide on the sacrifice 24...RxB, as opposed to, say, 24...Bh3? The outcome was interesting, but i think it's a little risky lol

any more good albins like that? lol

Here's me losing a game to the albin-gambit if somebody is interested...Game 3317841😵

This affects the Queen's Gambit, not the Gruenfeld. It entirely depends on which lines you normally play as white. If you play lines with an early Nf3, then there may be no disadvantage to playing 2.Nf3.
