Yea, hmm.. If I recall correctly Ray did break his wrist in the game against Indy, which I think is the reason he's giving the Pro Bowl a miss. Also, this season has been the one where Ray Ray lost his spot as the greatest linebacker around and became very much human. So.. curse still in order?

Same application with running backs who tend to loose the football.

Yep. Corners really ought to have pathetic tackling stats, body size ought to be taken into account somehow. i.e. easier to tackle a small guy with 80 break tackle than a big guy with 80 break tackle.

Yea, there are also absolutely zero sideline catch animations in the game and very often your running backs show no awareness of the sideline and swing their legs wildly out of bounds when it's a comfortable catch. I'd also like to add that "and inches" happens an infuriating amount of times in Madden, minor irk, but in a real game it sometimes never even occurs. In Madden I have as many "and inches" as I do "and 10".

Gibril Wilson, Erik Coleman, Mewelde Moore, Randall Gay, etc.
