Why aren't the Redskins winning at home?

The best Fed Ex Field win in Redskins history? The inaugural game in 1997 against the Cards. Michael Westbrook's acrobatic touchdown catch from Gus Frerotte in OT has to this point been the most thrilling Redskins victory at Fed Ex Field, although it was called Jack Kent Stadium at that time.

So you are saying that it's Snyder's money grubbing fault, because he erased Jack Kent Cooke's name from the stadium and tore the legendary heart and soul out of the stadium for the sake of a dollar.

I knew it was a curse!!!

Put it this way. This Redskins franchise hasn't been exactly right since Jack Kent Cooke's death. It all started with Cooke not leaving a will and handing the team, the stadium, and Redskins park over to his son John. If that happened, there would have been no Milstein bros. buying the team although Jerry Jones, Al Davis and the rest of the owners didn't approve their purchase of the franchise. Dan Snyder was to initially be a minority owner with the Milsteins. After the owners didn't approve, everything went back to Cooke's estate. Snyder sold Snyder Communications and then bought the Redskins. And the rest is gloomy history in the making from there on out. I never understood why the NFL owners didn't approve of the Milstein purchase of the Redskins. For all we know, they would have been excellent owners.

The team hasn't seen stability since Jack Kent Cooke died. If John Kent Cooke owned the team, the Redskins would have been contenders every year. This Redskins franchise has been in disarray since Snyder purchased it.

The 2005 OT win over Jacksonville, the win against the Bears just days after burying Sean Taylor, the Troy Vincent block against the Cowboys...none of those as exciting?

Hey Smoot, those were some great games. You played in all of those games. But the game in 1997 was more exciting simply because it was the first game ever played at Jack Kent Cooke Stadium/Fed Ex Field and it went into overtime.
