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.

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.
