You have to stop watching football with blinders on. Back to the topic, the guys in charge of Madden ratings knew what they were doing when they "jobbed" the Redskins. Bottom line, they are not ready to compete with the big boys.

Kid - I absolutely HATE the Redskins. There are no blinders - but for you Pats fans that have become totally spoiled to look down on another team or it's fans is just wrong. To quote Parcells: You are what your record says you are. The 'skins didn't back in, they had to win 7 straight to get to 10 wins, that's not luck guy, that's talent. You my friend are the one that needs to take the blinders off and realize that all good teams start somewhere, and for the Redskins and their fans this season was their beginning. Always remember: teams don't stay good forever, and the Pats time is coming.......and God, I can't wait. Unfortunately (for me) my Eagles are gonna be bad for a while........fortunately, I'm an Eagle fan for over 30 years and understand the ebb and flow of NFL teams....apparently, you don't.

A seven game win streak is not playoff worthy you're right. I'm also gonna guess you weren't always a Pats fan! Just throwing it out there!

I've been a Pats fan since 1989. I've been a whole NFL fan since 2006, though. I watch all games and the Redskins don't impress me yet and to me they seem like a non-contending team yet. This is year one of their team, I still believe its two more years before they have a chance at the Superbowl. The Giants should have won that division this year, but they had some tough breaks.

P.S... Being a Pats fan is boring now anyway, they always win. Plus I don't believe they will make the Superbowl this year.

Doesn't mean I think they are bad - in fact, I love the way they want to rely on a crushing run game and a punishing defense led by my 3rd favorite LB in the game (Fletcher), but I think it's reasonable if the OL struggles in Madden.

Does the Oline struggle at time with pass blocking? yes; but not to the extent that madden has them at since the update. Before I was getting sacked but the oline was able to give me enough time to try and make plays happen. Now I'm lucky to complete a 3 step drop before my 6 olinemen let in one of the other teams 4 rushers.

This is combined with RG3's injury rating being lowered which makes for a violatile mixture when attempting to come from behind or having to make downfield plays. Before the update today I had none of these problems and the team played much like the playoff caliber team they are in real-life. Screwing over the redskins; yep same Madden different year.

Yeah I hear you, thats why I do my own ratings, Donny really screwed us this year. And now that griffin is hurt I bet his injury rating will go down lol

Griffin getting hurt all the time IS like real life, though.

He was only hurt twice this season; One against the falcons which was stupid on his part; and the second against the ravens whioch was a freak accident.
