Why aren't the Redskins winning at home?

When you win 10 games in 2 years, you're not a good team. Bad teams lose at home and on the road.

We're close to breaking the streak. I wouldn't worry.

Which is why I say, ditch Fedup Ex and move back to Washington. Heck, build a smaller stadium if need be - make it more of an intimate stadium like RFK was!

But, yeah, you're right about not finishing games. Heck, if football was just three quarters instead of four, the Redskins would be playoff bound every year.
You have the money to break the lease, bribe, uh motivate, the right public officials and build a new stadium?

It's the Curse of Clinton Portis, who is performing sour-grapes black magic.

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.

streak ends this week. has to

NFL Hot Read -- Which teams have biggest home-field advantage? - ESPN (http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/page/hotread-home-field-advantage/nfl-hot-read-which-teams-biggest-home-field-advantage)


Washington Redskins

http://static.mobile.espn.go.com/i/teamlogos/nfl/80x80_trans/was.pngThey have the league's third-largest stadium (after the Giants/Jets and Cowboys), but it doesn't translate into a home-field advantage. Washington has a .478 home winning percentage over the past 20 years, the fourth-worst mark.

Just a question that needs answering. The better teams in the NFL win at home. The Redskins haven't won at home since week 2 of the 2011 season. Since then the Redskins are 0-8 at FED EX FIELD. What is it that is preventing them from winning at home. This is a far cry from the Redskins teams of the past who won 5/8 or half of their games on their own home turf. Even Norv Turner's Redskins could win at home.

Why the hell can't the Redskins win in front of their own fans?

FYI...we're not one of the "better teams"...we're a below average NFL team. You are what your record is and we have had a losing record every year since Zorn's 8-8 season. That's why we don't win at home. It's as simple as that.

Cause the franchise needs to rebuild a brand new RFK stadium in D.C. and move back. Maryland has not been kind to the Redskins.

Have you ever looked at the skins bad years at RFK?

It is part of a bigger problem that Rich Tandler did a nice job of talking about earlier today. We can't seem to finish games. 0-8 is bad, that's for sure, but overall we are 5-14 since our last home win. 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.

I would love to see our stadium size go back down to the 70,000 area. Just look at the Dallas game against Chicago the past Monday night, that was a Chicago home field. Or the Pitt game a couple years ago, when the Pitt got momentum it became a Pitt home field.

On the other if we were a true contender, and you had 100,000 Skins fans cheering and turning loose at Fedex, that would be amazing as well. Problem is that too easily an 8-8 team loses fans willing to pay and to easily finds local fans of the other teams that will gladly pay to get a chance to see their team have a chance at a victory.

Because we stay injured. 3 of the 11 projected Defense starters are not playing. Carriker, Orakpo, Merriweather. Kerrigan and Fletcher are the only pro bowl caliber players on Defense, the rest are backup quality. On offense, our biggest weapon Garcon has not lived up to expectations yet and Hankerson and Morgan are not making any plays. Thus the 1-9 on 3rd down or whatever the number is. Not enough playmakers across the board. Also last year we didn't have Trent williams and Fred Davis for the last 4 games = injury or basically not on the field.

Bottom line, can't stay healthy or otherwise keep good players on the field. Good chance we may have won last Sunday, BUT, RG3 hurt = can't stay on the field.

So tired of the injury excuse. The Giants have had injuries yet they keep on winning. Hell they have Justin Tryon and Sean Locklear playing for them The good teams with good coaching overcome it. The bad ones can't and don't.
