Yeah, it's not like the gameplan is installed on Wednesday or anything.

Hey, how did that gameplan work out?

Interesting. I call Bullshit on Shanahan. AH is a defensive lineman, not a WR or QB. Hasslett did not re-invent the wheel in this weeks defensive game plan. We ran the same old bullshit we have been seeing all year and we continue to get gashed for 5 yards a run right up the middle. Learning a game plan for a defensive lineman can be done in a few hours. There are only so many gaps that you can be responsible for and Haynesworth is not a rookie.

Except that Haynesworth has said at least a couple of times that he hasn't quite grasped the defense. He hasn't really shown himself to be a guy who can take time off and come back as if nothing has happened.

If it were me, someone else would have been inactive, and Haynesworth wouldn't have started but would have been in uniform ready to go

Amen.
Just looked it up....we gave up 171 yards rushing on 28 carries for an average of 6.1 yards a carry. To one of the worst rushing teams in the league. How long is going to take Hasslett to figure it out?
We needed Haynesworth in this game.
You know I did see something for the first time since Shanny got here....in the 4 quater, right after the last long run up the heart of our defense, Shanny looked disgusted, turned and gave the stink eye to Hasslett.
Did you see Hasslett during the game...he was wigging out. He looked nervous and scared. Not what I want to see from the leader of our defense. I do not care who we are playing...Manning, Montana, Dan Maino...

AH should have played for sure. I think Shanny has an ego that cant be f-ed with and thats a bad thing

He sure does but, he is the only one that looks as good as 98. When it comes to getting pressure in the pocket.

Yeah I don't think this was personal or had anything to do with the past. It may not have been the right move in the end but it is what it is. We will need the big fella against the BEars and at least he is well rested.

I dont know how much of an affect he may or maynot have had against the Colts and the D we played tonight. He may have helped get us more pressure on Manning or he may not have. We will never know.

Time to move on from this topic and get him ready to play the Bears.

Shanahan. I am glad you are here. But if you think that this team is talented enough to win the division or beat Peyton Manning without our most talented lineman, you are a ****ing joke.

[Pocket$ $traight]

When you lose a 3 point game to the AFC Champ and you decide to have your most talented D-lineman on the bench, your honeymoon is over. Pull your ****ing head out of your a$$ Shanahan. We have a ****ing chance this year. Smarten' the f#ck up.

[Pocket$ $traight]

I am ****ing sick and ****ing tired of walking into games with our ****ing arm tied behind our back. Smarten the **** up.

I agree with Pocket$ $traight. How much of the gameplan does he need to know to rush the QB? He's played against the Colts plenty of times before when he was with the Titans and if nothing else he could have been used only on 3rd downs if the gameplan was so damn important.
