No matter what Finn and Raven did, the Ark was dying anyway. According to Clarke's father, the systems engineer, it was a system failure that couldn't be fixed (check out episode 3, I think). The 100 weren't sent to the ground to buy six months to fix the problem. The problem couldn't be fixed at all. The 100 were sent to find out if the earth was survivable before the Ark ran out of air. It's true that sending them down also bought them more time. But Clarke said they would still have to kill more people to save air until they got the information that the 100 were surviving. If you want to fault Finn and Raven for cutting that time short, you might possibly have a case. But Bellamy making everyone take off their wristbands certainly complicated the issue by making it look like they were dying. And none of this changes the fact that they didn't need to buy more time anyway; and they didn't get that information in time to stop the culling because Bellamy destroyed the radio. Bellamy was the fatal blow to those people, not Finn and Raven.
