Madden NFL 16 NFC North Team Ratings, Along with a Few More Player Ratings

[MoneyOvaHuds]

Jared Allen was very ill last year , he lost like 15 pounds when he had pneumonia playing DE at 239 , he was like 254 before and he was playing with a herniated disc . I expect him to bounce back , he's loving playing olb now and reports are he's in great shape .

Quote:

The pneumonia that sidelined him in Week 4 melted 15 pounds off his frame, creating a two-month battle to restore his power and conditioning. In retrospect, he wishes he had taken more time off to regain strength and muscle mass. "I just don't know how to miss games," Allen says. "It killed me that I had to miss one." There was also a nagging back issue that Allen says was diagnosed as a herniated disc this winter.

Honestly your receivers arent as good as they think, if they played for another team they wouldnt be nearly as good. So again out defense is waaaay better than yours, the only thing you have is a high powered offense, defense is subpar at best. Clay matthews oh ok cool... Our OL was hurt last year, remember we have the same O-line we had when peterson rushed for over 2000 yds and they are healthy now

LMAO!!! Packs o-line is top 5, best wr group in the league. top 10 rb and the best qb in the game. don't get me wrong, the Vikings are trending upwards and will b dangerous next year if not this year, but they are still a step or two down from the pack

dude can run for 200 every time he plays the pack, who cares!! if they cant win. they could win in Minnesota, but that one win wont win them the division when gb wins 13-14 games

When he was younger that outside-in spin was fast enough to wollop people, now he is a step or two behind and allows giant gaps to run through when he does it. He was a great player but unless he changes something up and realizes he can't do the same things he used to without changing stuff up he is a liability.

isn't he moving to outside lb? that is something he's never done, you gotta expect a ratings drop just for that.

Golden Tate at 88 is also a bit too high even if he did have a solid year last season. Martellus Bennett and Alshon Jeffery both shouldn't be a 90 either, as well as Pernell McPhee coming in at 87. The ratings this year are just so damn weird.

Did you see or watch Peppers play? I am guessing no.

When the hell did the Vikings fans get to the party? Jesus H. The way they talk about their team would make one think they've won the division the last 7 years in a row and not cellar dwellers.

I'm a Bears fan but I also live in reality land. Not fantasy land.

Your defense isn't better than Green bays, your QB sure as hell Isnt better than GB's, your WR core is 3rd POSSIBLY 4th in the division, your RB is a 30 year old child abuser that's been out of the league for a year, who's also not better than "RIGHT NOW" eddie lacy and hell maybe not even forte.

First preseason game in and you guys are going 10-6 and maybe knocking off the defending division 4 in a row champs lead by all time great AR12 ALL while derailing this thread.

It's time to log off people.

Back on topic. Cutler is overrated at 79. Jeffery and Bennett are underrated. I was expecting Bennett at 92-94 honestly. Was top 3 TE in all of football last year. AJ is a top 5 WR no debate.

Dont lump all the Vikings Fans together please. I basically agree with everything you said other than the Bolded. Adrian, until proven otherwise, is a top running back in the league. Forte and Lacy are good but not up to Petersons level. Despite how you feel about him off the field he has earned the right to be called the best on the field until proven otherwise.

Also regarding Bennett and Jeffery's. Neither one have shown anything saying they will do the same thing with Marshall gone. I think thier ratings as of right now are fair. Its a completely different game plan to go up against Marshall, Jeffery's and Bennett together, You cant double them all. Now that Marshall is gone they can start doubling Jeffery's and keying on Bennett.

I want to clarify I am in no way saying that they are not great players, just thier rating are fair for now until they can show that they are just as much as a threat with out Marshall as they were with him.

Lacy won Rookie of the Year and has posted 1,178 rushing yards + 257 receiving and 11 touchdowns in 2013. Then he had 1,139 rushing + 427 receiving and 13 touchdowns in 2014 (which if you followed Packers he was used lightly for half the year and didn't get more than 15 touches a game to keep him healthy and ready for playoffs.) He posted better #s his 2nd year on limited playing time and was 4th in broken tackles. He had 36 missed tackles in 2013 and 51 in 2014 almost double. If lacy was Green Bays offense alone his #s would be triple this. I hate when people are ignorant, he deserved his rating.
