Madden NFL 11 Team Ratings Revealed

[NYYanks26]

I don't understand how the Eagles are rated so much lower than last year.. All they did was improve the team (Which was a playoff team unlike say the Giants). Upgraded defense, upgraded QB position, the best young offense in the NFL and a head coach who despite what some may think about him, still finds a way to make a run every year.

Why are the Jets so overrated? They were LUCKY to even make the playoffs last year. They were a 7-7 team that couldn't beat divisional rivals at home. They beat a bad and equally overrated Bengals team, then had a GREAT win at San Diego, then played a solid 1st half at Indy before folding and yet they are now expected to win it all? Even EA is buying into the Green hype machine but they are backing the wrong green team.

Kevin Kolb will lead or be right underneath Brees for leading the NFC in TDs.

Eagles deserve at least an 84-87. Cowboys won't beat us twice again next season. Giants still can't touch us and the Redskins with our leftovers are a continuing joke.

Besides the Saints, who has a better offense than this in the NFC:
Kolb, Jackson, Maclin, Avant, Celek, McCoy, Weaver

All the haters like to conveniently leave out the 27 TDs to make him look bad, as bad as he was at times, he still had good moments. As bad as the INTs were, he still had more TDs (albeit by one, my point remains.

urlacher may not have missed a lot of games but he's always dealing with injuries and hasn't played up to his expectations since the SB appearance. cutler is a slightly above average quarterback at this point in his career. with a very unproven cast around him (i'm as big of a aromashodu fan as the next guy). IMO and the way we have been programmed since before our teenage years, a 77 is slightly above average which means madden expects the bears to finish somewhere between 7-9 and 9-7...

You might want to check those stats again, he had a down 08 season I agree, but he did better in 07 than the Super Bowl appearance year, or is 20 tackles really worth more than more sacks, picks, and PDs?
I'm not arguing that the Bears won't struggle at times this year, especially the offense trying to learn a complicated system, but Martz is a stickler for the little things and as you know, a good chunk of Cutler's INTs can be blamed on his mechanics regressing, recievers running the wrong route, and running for his life. The former 2 I guarantee will be improved by Sept 12, if Tice can make the O-line into something stable, I don't see how the team won't finish around 10 wins.

it's like i stumbled onto the the eagles message board with this post lol.

Better offenses, um saints, vikings, cowboys, probably the giants, falcons, and packers.

Kolb is unproven and no way in blue hell he throws more TDs than Romo, Rodgers, Favre and Sheli Manning. Not to mention dear old McNabb, improved Cutler, Matt Stafford in his second year, and Matt Ryan fully healthy.

Defense, upgraded? Umm, not at corner, one new LBer who was shipped away for a 5th (because of the system but still), although Stew is coming back (woot) you have Fokou starting, BGraham hopefully will be something and Nate Allen will be starting at S.

And if you can't see that the Jets made it to the championship game and only got better then idk what's wrong with you.

I won't touch the upgraded QB remark.

But the panthers lost key players from their team like peppers. Also, they have a big question mark on the most important postion in football, QB.

And Rodgers and Ryan were proven prior to 2 seasons ago? Kolb started 2 games last season and played terrific. I know one of those games was against the Chiefs but the other was against the Super Bowl Champions.
The defense will be much improved only b/c it can't be worse than last year.

But basically you are saying the Eagles have one of the worst offensive teams in the NFC? Huh? Falcons & Cowboys will score more points? The only thing missing is McNabb but we upgraded there.. And Westbrook wasn't healthy for 3 seasons but McCoy did more than fill in last year.
