Madden NFL 12 Team Ratings - AFC West (ESPN)

[JMD]

The AFC West is back in the hands of the Chiefs where it belongs. I'll say it now, the Chiefs will win the division. Not a big stretch there.

Darren Sproles Maybe?

Gallery, on the other hand, has been crucial to this team's running game and was really the only good OL on this team. Gallery is (was) just as valuable to Oakland's OL as McNeill was/is to SD's.

So a guy who's an average guard is more valuable than a franchise LT?

That explains why NFL teams value LT's almost more than any position in the league. I guess that's why left tackle get drafted so high and guards don't. You think the Raiders would have taken Gallery that high if they knew they would have to move him to the guard position?

Yeah. I am the one who doesn't know what I am talking about.

They want respect for beating a really bad Broncos team. A Broncos team that hadn't been that bad in over 40 years! Oooooh... World beaters! The funny thing is that the Raiders were that bad for 8 years! 8 years! Damn! If the Broncos were that bad of a team for 8 years I might throw batteries at people at Mile High stadium too! I still wouldn't dress like I'm at a halloween party 16 weeks out of the year though... Now they get to average status and here come all the faid fans complaining about ratings. "We were undefeated in the division and we don't even get respect!". WTF man! This is BS! And blah, blah, blah! Your fast! Thats it! Thats all you get. An overachieving Chiefs team?? Really. Again not much to celebrate about. The Chargers are the team to beat this year. They've been the team to beat for a few years now. Sure they underachieved some the last year or two, and fell to the faid, but they are still a notch above the rest of the West and have the best QB in the division. Live with it. Just like the last 9 years.....

Well said, any little ray of hope the raiders get, they latch onto it cause it might be all they get for a long time.

Thats one messed up pic!


35 wins/91 losses last eight years.
0 playoff appearences
This team has sucked donkey balls most of your life.

69 wins/59 losses last eight years.
3 playoff appearances/1 W

Look I don't blame you for rubbing it in. That was like your Super Bowl. Probly the best win you've had in almost a decade. Too bad it came against such a bad team......

Yea it made me sick, but I'm a true fan. Been since the early 80's. I sat there and watched that whole game like a real fan. I was at a bar and there were two Raider fans siting at a table next to my table of five Bronco fans. After the game one of the raider fans bought us a round of beers for sitting there and watching the whole **** game..... Now that was just about the classiest thing I've ever seen from a Raider fan.....

Yea, and then they want the respect of a team like the Chargers who can just about hang with any team in the league. All for one 8-8 season!

I think the Broncos best Madden seasons were in 04 and 05. Stacked at almost every spot except DL. I've felt just like any fan that a few of my players got screwed over in some rating categories. Never once did I complain the last four season in which the Broncos did not finish with more than 9 wins...

Team ratings right now really does not mean much because with free agents being signed and teams losing players they will all change so putting your hope's on these rating's right now does no good.
