I know this may be pointless because it's not going to happen but this team has NO Homefield advantage at FedEx. You look at teams like Baltimore, Atlanta, GB, Pitts etc and teams know going in that it's a dogfight. I feel lie opposing teams are playing at a neutral site in Landover. I'd like to know what our record is all time at FedEx? I bet it's under .500 or pretty close. This team was great at RFK and actually had an advantage there.

Losses do crazy things to message boards.

^ not really man because this has been a problem for this team even when we made the playoffs. FedEx is horrible for any HF advantage, everytime an opposing team scores I hear a ton of cheers? WTF

Well even tho I kinda agree with Bushead, I remember the the Monday night game against the steelers, I swear if it wasn't for the symbol on the field, you would have thought the steelers were home!

Not going to happen for a multitude of reasons.
1. Dan Snyder has invested too much money into Fedex Field.
2. They have like a 30 year lease agreement with PGC to stay at Fedex, and it would cost the Skins money to break that lease
3. They left RFK because it's pretty old, and I'm pretty sure it doesn't have the luxury boxes Fedex has.
4. I'm not entirely sure but I think DC United still plays at RFK.
5. It's just not going to happen, a new stadium will get built in DC before the Skins ever move back to RFK.

Good teams have home field advantage. A stadium alone doesn't make u a better team.

So out of 14 seasons at Fedex, we've only had a winning record in 5 of those seasons. Definitely not good. In stark contrast, Matt Ryan is 18-1 at home as a starter for the Falcons.

It's not the stadium that's making us suck guys. It's our coaching and overpaid players.
