Why aren't the Redskins winning at home?

Without getting into the coaching debate, we don't play consistently on either side of the ball for 4 quarters.

Much has been said about the lack of a home field advantage we have due to the size and design of Fed Ex Field. The stadium doesn't generate noise, doesn't have an intimidating presence and doesn't have anything that gives us a benefit of being the home team. It really is almost like playing 8 games a year at a neutral site.

Strong explanation that sounds about right. Losing like that at home is like allowing someone to beat you up and take your lunch money. It's a travesty for sure. I first watched Allen's and Pardee's Redskins in the 70s when I was a small child and viewed Joe Gibbs Redskins growing up when I was a teenager. In those days the Redskins were a winner at home. Even during the Norv Turner era as I stated, they won at home. Even Schottenheimer's and Spurrier's Redskins won at home. Gibbs II Redskins won at home also. But Zorn and Shanahan's Redskins consistently get beat at home. It's almost like getting robbed while armed with a gun. It's extremely pitiful!

GTTripp pointed out before we played Atlanta the total record vs the teams we have won agaisnt this year vs the record of teams we have lost against this year. The teams we beat havent been too good. The teams we lost to are pretty good. And Atlanta is a really good team, Cinn is better than a lot of people think. Basically i think we are not as good as we think we might be, although were keeping it close each game so who knows.

Not so sure about last year. But we we only won 5 games last year and overall just plain sucked.

Minn is a good team, but i we have been getting better each week and are even favored to win this game. Big game for us, hopefully a big win.

Three cheers for a well stated opinion.
