What happened to home field advantage??

Michael Wilbon was right. The idea that Redskins fans are among the most hardcore in the league is a complete myth. Apart from this site, of course.

Fed Ex Field is a neutral site at best. I can't think of a stadium full of "fans" that supports the home team any less.

Even the lousy Raiders have a more dedicated bunch.

Okay, but how many times do you see their stadium infiltrated by fans of the opposing team? I'd say never.

Philly is one of those places where opposing fans are afraid to go.

So again, FedEx Field can't hold a candle to Philly's home field advantage.

Come on you really believe that Fed Ex is neutral at best. At the begging of the year I saw Dallas playing the Cards and for a whole 1/4 I thought it was at Dallas. It would be interesting to look at the size of the stadium and then see which team has the best fan response. I think we would see the smaller stadiums would win. I have also heard allot of other teams players say how loud Fed Ex can get. Maybe its size fools us.

Not the case from I'd say from when George Allen first got here til 1993 when Gibs left. There is a completly new generation of fans that have only seen losing. And part of it is the somewhat older fans like myself are simply tired of the bullshit.

Skinsfan, I think you hit the nail on the head. I am 41 years old and remember and lived the 80s as a teenager and early 20s. I remember winning a lot as a Skins fan. How many winning seasons and playoff appearances have the Skins had since their last Super Bowl win in 1991? That's 20 years ago!!! How can fans create a home field advantage when your team just stinks year in and year out. Even their last playoff team in 2007, the Skins were 9-7. 2005 season was 10-6, but both of those teams were Wild Card teams. The Skins havn't won the division since 1999. Then you have to go back to 1991 to find the next one. You have suffered for a lot of years if you are a Redskins fan.
