Why aren't the Redskins winning at home?

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.

Strong explanation that sounds about right. Losing like that at home is like allowing someone to beat you up and take your lunch money. It's a travesty for sure. I first watched Allen's and Pardee's Redskins in the 70s when I was a small child and viewed Joe Gibbs Redskins growing up when I was a teenager. In those days the Redskins were a winner at home. Even during the Norv Turner era as I stated, they won at home. Even Schottenheimer's and Spurrier's Redskins won at home. Gibbs II Redskins won at home also. But Zorn and Shanahan's Redskins consistently get beat at home. It's almost like getting robbed while armed with a gun. It's extremely pitiful!
