Madden Curse Begins

[Gunslinger08]

Chest contusion, sports hernia, and now a shin contusion.

Looks like the Eagles are going to have a tough year.

Good. Who needs another Buffalo Bills like run from the Iggles. Let's get a real NFC team in, with a chance at upending the mighty Pats.

Whosoever dons the cover of Madden NFL for that year is cursed to have injuries, or bad play.

EDIT:

2001-Eddie George: Went from 3.7 ypc in 2000 to 3.0 ypc in 2001.
2002-Daunte Culpepper:
- 2001: 64.2% completion rate, 13 INTs
- 2002: 60.7% completion rate, 23 INTs
- 2003: 65.0% completion rate, 11 INTs
2003-Marshall Faulk: Faulk was 1st player in NFL history to get 2000 total yds from scrimmage for 4 seasons in a row in the 2002 season. In 2003, knee injuies limited him to 10 starts and under 1500 yds from scrimmage.
2004-Michael Vick: Ankle injury, out for year.
2005-Ray Lewis: He couldn't care less about a fvcking curse. He was just fine.
2006-McNabb: TBD, but already hurt

Vote for <insert any NE Patriot here> for cover of Madden '07!

I wonder if it would work in reverse? What if you put an already injury prone player on the cover?

I hope so, and I hope he can play at anywhere close to 100%. Donny is one of the best QBs in the league, and he alone can take the team atleast back to the NFC championship.

The Eagles don't have to worry about anything if McNabb goes down. They have Ty Detmer as their backup! He'll tear up secondaries left and....no wait. He'll use a precision passing game to....no uhhhhh. He'll throw a bunch of INTs and get the crap sacked out of him.

The Eagles are about as real as the NFC gets. If they go down, we can look forward to yet another SuperBORE.

It'll be LT for 07 as long as he stays healthy.

Koy. Ty is his brother. They've both made a career out of being 2nd string QBs.

Ahhh that's right. I instinctively wrote Ty by mistake.

Incidentally, my HS football team played Koy's HS team in the Texas playoffs way back when. I got injured on the first offensive series and spent the rest of the game watching Koy rip our secondary apart.

Detmer.

McMahon is the 3rd string. He's bigger than Koy, and runs more.

I think Mcmahon is a good solid QB though... whereas I don't think Koy is.

Put Joey Harrington on the cover of madden & let him get hit by a truck.

They're not going to put crappy players on the cover of Madden.

And unless that Patriot is Tom Brady, they can easily be replaced and the Pats will still win.

LT is sucking this year.



My prediction is it will be Carson Palmer next year.

Um.... LT is NOT sucking this year, they're just not giving him the rock enough. He's averaging 5.4 ypc.

EDIT: Also, they will not go with QBs two years in a row. I also project LT unless a defender plays extremely well. The most important determining factor isn't what the player did the year before, but what aspect of the game they're focusing on and who exemplifies that the most/who's most popular.

Used to be they put John Madden on the cover... and he has yet to choke on a 6 legged turkey.
