The Bills seem to get the bad team bonus.

Yeah that's how I feel too. We didn't get majorly screwed over or anything it just seems like a general underrated feeling but it's understandable coming off of a 4 win season. Once they start kicking it in gear and showing their worth there should be some nice boosts.

And how in the Hell is Freddie worse than Ronnie Brown and even with Ricky Williams!!! Fun Fact time! in the 2nd half of the season (when Freddie actually was starting) he was 6th amongst all RBs in rushing yards. 80 overall, how did he get worse??? I definitely will be making changes as I see fit

I feel like Fitz and Steven Johnson are really high for having one good season. I think we should make sure it wasn't just a fluke season before we give them good ratings like that, but I don't play online anyway so its really a non issue I suppose.

We have to understand two things:

A) Ratings are extremely OVERVALUED. They're only numbers to make guys play a certain way. If you utilize guys right, they can be effective. I guarantee if you bump up guys ratings, they've play unrealistically.

B) Understand that most of these guys are most likely at their ceilings. Fred Jackson isn't getting any better than what he is. Period. And he really didn't have an overall good year. Plus, at some point, CJ Spiller will take over.

Merriman has an 80 overall rating? What is this 3 years ago???

Vernon Carey 90 ovr?
He's not even gonna start at RT for them anymore,
he is moved to guard where he should be 80-83 maybe.

What do you base this on? Nobody threw to Vontae last year. That screams shut down corner. And Sean Smith was regularly abused last year, just less regularly than he was in his rookie season.

I'm taking issue, really big issue, with Daniel Thomas' rating. If you've ever seen the guy run through junk in between the tackles with the precision he does, you'd understand there's no way in HELL his awareness rating is in the 40s. I don't care if he is a rookie.

I agree. I was shocked at that. Mainly because he's gonna get some snaps this year possibly.
