Quick Hitters: Booing in Week 2

I'm not sure it is fair to say, as the article indicates, that Cooley's lack of understanding for the boos is connected to his "millionaire" status versus the predominantly "middle class" status of the fans. In fact, I think that idea is silly. I do, however, agree that the boos the team heard were well deserved and that not a single player ought to be complaining about them. I also like the analysis of the problems with the Redskins' passing offense.

Yeah I'm not buying that either, kind of a cheap shot.

Bitching does no good so I'm just going to enjoy the win.

A W is a W but we need to start clicking or we're not getting 6 wins this year.

I tend to think Montgomery was active over Rhinehart because of flexibility. The question will be, do they battle it out to see who starts, does it get handed to Rhinehart, or did Montgomery play well enough to get a look. Either way, if Montgomery plays and Rhinehart stays inactive, then you would have a definitive answer on whether Rhinehart was a wasted pick.

I'm a diehard fan and pay an absurd amount of money to have season tickets so I can cheer the Skins on in person. If the players and coaches don't understand why we are booing, they are so far removed from the reality of football that I don't think they'll ever be able to be a competitive team in the NFL. All of us are tired of mediocrity (or worse) year after year.

I understand that its a long season and they need to work out their redzone issues. I agree that fans should voice their displeasure. Its great that fans know we have talent and have some knowledge of playcalling. With that said, I prefer Zorn ball over Spurrier ball. Also, his playcalling is more aggressive than Gibbs 2.0. We are going in the right direction.

I'm thinking they're going to battle it out from what I gathered from Zorns PC. But I would think Rinehart is expected to win that spot. Montgomery did play pretty well but Rinehart may have too if he was active and given the chance. We'll see, it may be a gametime decision according to Zorn.

Someone from Wilbon's weekly WaPo chat nailed this issue perfectly:

I was at the game. I would like to comment on the boos.

The first three instances were absolutely reasonable. You don't throw HB Options from the 8 after running 4 times in the last 5 plays inside the 10. You don't drop passes.

However, the booing during the kneel down was crazy. But, I think there was more to it. It was, we just paid big bucks to get in, have zero parking options below $40, can't tailgate like before, and now, we are leaving without a touchdown. It was a visceral reaction, even though not logical. I tried to tell people kneeling to win the game was obviously correct, but they just seemed to want to boo to get it out of their system.

Leaving the stadium, it was so quiet you would have thought we just left a memorial. It has been 3 times louder after LOSSES.

People were just stunned. In the end, Snyder no longer has a safety net. You can't treat fans like dirt, and the not put out a quality product.
