It's F-ing Bears Week!

I honestly can't believe how hard it is for some to believe that Albert Haynesworth and Mike Shanahan could co-exist peacefully, and that AH could actually make an impact for this team.

Ok, since you obviously directed this response to me, let me remind you of a couple of recent developments that do still leave some sort of hope to AH returning to a dominant form in this defense.

His last game against Philly he played very well, get credited for 4 tackle and 2 critical holding penalties. This performance drew praise from our coach in his press conferences.

The last 2 games he missed, 1st his brother passed away and he was excused from the team for the Green Bay game. The second, he missed the implentation of the game plan on Wednsday and did not get back to the team until the Thursday against a superior opponent in the Colts. (BTW we could have won this football game without AH in the lineup just missed on to many opportunities and lost #5's second favorite target to injury in the 4th) I got into a big debate with PocketsStraight as to why AH was held out of the game and that it was the right decision.

He was finally getting some love from coach before his brother's untimely death. He now has a good week and a half of practice under his belt, and I am sure he will be used once again against the Bears.

So for you, Mooby, unless you know MS or AH personally to say that there is no hope for AH and MS to get along is unfounded. You, just like the rest of us need to see how the rest of the season plays out.

I never made any kind of statement of endorsement towards AH, I just basically stated there is still a possibilty of AH to play well.

Actually AMFHOF, my entire comment was directed toward Gus Frerotte's line of thinking that the 'Skins want to bench Haynesworth or play him sparingly for the entire season so we can trade him after the season is over.

And I'm not saying Haynesworth can't be productive, that was nowhere near close to what I was implying. I actually believe that AH can still be effective and coexist perfectly fine with Shanny, I just don't see why even now some people still think Shanny wants to deal him the first good opportunity he gets.

Do you even realize I would agree with you on most, if not all, points you've listed above? Lol come on man.
