Madden NFL 12 Team Ratings - AFC West (ESPN)

[JaySmooov]

Broncos look like a legit rebuilding job; same could be said for Kansas City, although it seems they're on the cusp.

I'd use Tebow. You can nurture him alone by using his mobility against the defenses and throwing short, quick-hitting patterns. And with DDP in the game, if you get him into a rhythm, he's automatically better than Orton with a rating increase.

The Raiders need to just go to a full spread. They have the players for it.

If you believe Aso won't be missed I think you are kidding yourselves.

We were missing McFadden in the first game who was much, MUCH more important to our team than anyone the Chargers were missing (not sure if this was brought up, but if it wasn't...). So yes, we were as shorthanded as you guys.

What a joke.

What a joke rating for the Raiders. 10 points behind the Chiefs and the Chargers who had 2 and 1 more wins respectively.

Team Overall means absolutely nothing...

no need to get worked up because the Raiders aren't a high team overall

It's all about the player behind the controller, and the only factor that matters in Madden is speed; so therefore the Raiders are the best team to use in Madden; bar none..

I can careless if Madden rated the Giants a '70'; I won't lose sleep over it..It's just a number, and 9/10 the team will play better then the overall rating '70'..
