Madden Curse Strikes Again (at least temporarily)

[Reckoner]

Vince Young out of the game with a hamstring injury

 

[Corporate Thug]

they said that he should return to this game right?

 

[hdeck]

he didn't look like he was walking well enough to be able to return. hopefully he can be ready for the next game.

If he stubs a toe are you crazy people going to cry curse too? Everytime he even gets touched there is a thread about the spooky madden curse. . .

He's out of the game, what more do ya want? Does he need his leg to fall off or something?

Lookup the past injuries they do not include half of a game. Leaving the game when its halfway done is called football not a curse.

thats stretching it.

if he comes back in the game or next week its no curse. if he gets kn ocked out of the season then yes.

 

[hdeck]

hes walkin around a lot better on the sidelines now i don't think it's serious

 

[Pocatello]

QBs are injured all the time. Now if Fret Favre is on Madden NFL cover next year, and miss a game, then I would believe in the curse.

 

[Syringer]

Collins has done a very admirable job filling in. A few INTs by Ronde Barber were called back, and he's done a hell of a job engineering some drives..

 

[Argo]

I just saw Young's stats - 5TD, 12 INT. Say what you want, but madden curse is still alive.

I'm not defending him, but those stats don't do him justice. His receivers absolutely suck.

 

[jagec]

OK, now they just need to put the entire offensive line for the Patriots on the cover.

I'd be happy if Belicheat was on the cover

Agreed. Last night's game was pretty good evidence that he can pass accurately (at least some of the time), but his receivers are atrocious.

I see what you did there.


As for the curse, it's definitely alive. VY is having a poor season and the guy they originally wanted on the cover (LT) is having an even worse one.

Go Madden!

Yes, but at the same time, a lot of the drops on Monday weren't very good throws...catchable, but hard catches due to the pass being off

 

[meltdown75]

insofar as being a fantasy bust, the curse is alive and well. they somehow find ways to win though, even when he passes for a whopping 42 yards and has -11 yards rushing.

his stats are barely worse than what they were last year, and his team has a better record and will be making the playoffs.

rofl are you kidding me? he threw 2 deep balls that hit his receivers on the hands and should have been caught by any receiver playing at a pro level. plus there was the scaife catch that was ruled not a catch and the booth refused to review the play even though scaife clearly caught the ball and secured it when he hit the ground. he made some bad throws during the game, but the drops were the receivers' faults.

 

[Deeko]

I didn't say all of them were bad throws. But quite a few of them were.

 

[hdeck]

all of the actual "drops" that i saw were throws that should have been caught. he made some bad throws, but i didn't see any bad throws that the receiver made a play on and still came up empty.

leading the league in rushing touchdowns and still near the top in rushing yards is a poor season? granted his numbers aren't quite like last years up to this point but i dont its worse than a qb having a 64.3 rating with only 5 touchdown passes and 12 interceptions.

in the big picture, vince is having a better year. his team has more wins and lt is no where near as dominant as he was last year.

i wish people would stop quoting vince's td to int ratio. the titans are a power running team with terrible receivers.

 

[SSSnail]

Go ahead, put the Patriots on the cover of Madden, they'll beat the curse senseless too.
