Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Don’t overreact to Madden ratings

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers haven’t exactly been the model of success and consistency over the past decade. Their record over that span has been a painful 59-101. Despite having some major stars along the way – Gerald McCoy, Lavonte David, Darrelle Revis, Aqib Talib, Michael Bennett, Dashon Goldson, Vincent Jackson, etc – the Bucs have managed to earn two winning records over that span.

So, when the Madden ratings came out giving the Bucs an overall score of 75 – ranking 23rd and only one point higher than the Browns, Bills, Colts, and Dolphins – some fans felt cheated, insulted, and angry.
