Certain teams like the Patriots and Cowboys got all the love for the ratings.

Truthfully, I'm not too impressed with the ratings across the board. I like that there's only 3 99 overall players.. but there's a ton of head scratchers

There always will be a ton of head scratchers because not everyone can agree with everything.

I feel the same way, a lot of head scratching ratings. Even on my Cardinals I can't understand how TE Jermaine Greshman is an 84 and one of the best run blocking TE's. He did nothing last season to deserve a rating that high. But it is great that there is only a few players rated over 96.

Pro Football Focus graded the Cowboys offensive line as the best in 2015 in both run blocking and pass blocking, and they also rated Travis Frederick as the best pass blocking center in football last year. Tyron Smith and Zack Martin also finished as top 3 players at their positions in PFF, and Doug Free finished in the top 10 among his peers.

Me personally, I don't put a whole lot of stock in PFF grades. However, Madden has very openly embraced PFF to guide its ratings, so it makes sense that the Cowboys would be rated highly on the OL, given how PFF has so favorably graded them.

How many games did they win,by that premise it shouldn't matter if they are protecting the qb yet qbs were running for their life..

Might be due to the front 7 weakness.

Defensively the Skins have some holes, but players like Baker, Breeland, Kerrigan, Smith and D. Hall are good players. Add in draft picks Cravens and Fuller tne defense should be improved from last year. My issue is with the Skins offense.
