.....t always seems to be. We ALL really want Mike to have four aces up his sleeve and deliver something akin to a 42-10 thrashing of the hated Cowboys.
We'll play fairly well and it will be another one of those dreaded, nail-biting games that will leave us with a post-game headache, win or lose. In other words, we may be satisfied with a win but we won't be overly happy because we didn't destroy them or catch them by surprise.
Jimbo-I'm enough of a realist to know that what I expressed has little likelihood of actually coming to pass. By being that way, however, it makes it easier to accept less than what I'd ideally like to see-in all honesty, I would have absolutely no complaints about 17-10 much less 42-10.
Haynesworth was one of two things this preseason. Either 1) not even close to football shape, or 2) simply not trying.
I'm hoping it's the former. That can be corrected. The latter likely can't.
HH, considering the effort, or lack thereof, I saw him display in the Cardinals game it could be both-he didn't work hard enough to exhaust himself even if he wasn't in "football shape" in my view.
It seems like every offseason, we the Redskins faithful, always fool ourselves into believing we are better than we are. We are always creating some fantasy that our coaches are holding back this magnificent football team that has never been seen before.
It happens every year as far back as I can remember. Oh, Saunders isn't showing any of his stuff, Gibbs is holding back, Zorn will unleash the monster in week one. We fool ourselves every year. But, I guess that is what it means to be a dedicated/fanatical football fan.

Omniscient, what you say here is undoubtedly accurate but it makes me wonder, then, why do I have a sense of potential optimism with Shanahan more than I've had with anyone else coaching the Skins since Gibbs 1?
Man..****.
Haynesworth is beaten, but in beating his ego we've made a toothless bear.

Mike, man, I have to confess I don't know how you can see things I don't-maybe I'm lacking something, but I just for the life of me can't figure out what it is in Haynesworth you see that I fail to see. No "good", "bad", "right", "wrong" or anything like that here, I'm just mystified.
On a related note, I was perusing a Houston Texans fan forum earlier that has an ongoing thread about Haynesworth that dates back to April with well over 100 posts, including close to twenty this past week. The theme? They're discussing what they think the Texans should be willing to give in order to get Fat Al-some fans there apparently would love to have him, even at 60% effort-level, on their defensive front. Interesting. I don't know if the Texans FO has any interest or not.
