Greg Blache gets his revenge against Steve Spagnuolo; Skins-Rams Defensive Review

Tuesday Take: Booing, Thomas, play calling

1. Booing—Here’s the bottom line on booing: Paying fans have the right to boo the team for whatever reason they choose, whether the team wins or loses.

Breaking down Jim Zorn's lie

Okay, by now you know about Jim Zorn claiming he couldn't see the play clock when he tried to call timeout late in the Rams game. The Redskins needed to call timeout with as little time on the play clock as possible, to kill the overall game clock.
