Re: Was Shanahan Wrong Deactivating Haynesworth vs. Indy
Haynesworth doesn't make or break this game. It's amusing to throw out there DPOY and best talented player on the team, when the guy's had 1.5 great seasons (26 starts over 2 years from 07-08) and hasn't been worth the Charmin he wipes his butt with since coming to DC.
It is what it is. Would he have made a difference? Probably not, considering how fast paced the Colts offense is. He would have been sucking wind and taking plays off in order to catch up. We'll never know.
What did make a difference was the amount of missed opportunities and mistakes both sides of the ball had. Dropped INTs, missed assignments, lack of pressure, abandoning the run, ill-advised throws. These are things that this team needs to work on. Not whether one player plays or not.
