Do you think Shaun Alexander is a victim of the "Madden Curse?"?

He appeared on the cover of the video game this year and his production has gone down, plus he is out for a while with a broken foot. Has the "Madden Curse" struck again? What do you think?

    There is no curse.

    Everyone builds it up so that if something minute happens to the player they all blame it on the curse. I can see how they can see that for like McNabb and Vick a few years ago, but when Ray Lewis was on it for the 05 year, he missed ONE game and they said it was on the curse. Im a Seahawks fan, and thats a tough break for us. But we will still be undefeated or only have one loss when he comes back because we were winning without much production from Alexander, and Morris is a great backup and would be a starter anywhere else if he wasnt behind Alexander. And we have talented receivers and a pro bowl quarterback, and the most underrated defense in the league.

    We will be ok.

    It only isn't the Madden curse that stops him from generating like he did very last 3 hundred and sixty 5 days, it stands proud because the shortcoming of alternative key gamers on the line and at ability positions. Plus the Walrus (M. Holmgren) hasn't done something for the reason that he left G.B.

    If the Madden curse is so true, why did Eddie George do so well the year he was on the cover. Ray Lewis didn't have an awful season.

    It's a coincidence.

    Yeah, ok, every person put on the cover of the game has gone out with an injury the following year. It's cursed. I now officially dub this question "overasked question of the month." Congratulations! You're the 1,000th person to ask this question, you win a toaster.

    OF COURSE HE IS!!! 187 yards and 2 TD's!?!? he's averagin 62 yards a game and just over 3 a carry. Now his foot is broken and hes out for 2 to 4 weeks! He'd never missed a game up to this point! and at this point last season he had 257 yards and 5 td's!

    Madden is a witch, he created that curse becuase he's not on the cover anymore.

    I was never aware of the Madden curse until now. Even still, I don't believe it.

    Yep. The curse is still alive and kicking. I hope T.O makes the cover next year.

    Well you can't deny that the players on the cover end up this way....Sucks for Seattle...I'm just glad Steve Smith wasn't put on the cover :D

    Sure, why not? Now, if they would just put the entire Squeelers team on the cover... But, then again, maybe they don't need to this year!!! HAHA
