Pro Bowl

[HPF Bob]

What shards of credibility the Pro Bowl might have had were lost when they moved it up ahead of the Super Bowl which will exclude any Pro Bowlers whose teams play in the Super Bowl.

Other than Foster, our headliners were all injured so there was no momentum for Schaub or Mario and, really, there should have been none for AJ.

But I take comfort in all the young defensive players in the front seven who haven't become stars yet but may have been the biggest single advancement this season. If they keep it up, Watt, Barwin and Reed can be in Pro Bowls someday and Cushing will return. I hope to see some drafted Pro Bowlers in our secondary someday too.

I'm a little surprised Owen Daniels didn't get any love but then it is hard to look good compared to the Patriots TEs.

If we ever win a playoff game or nationally televised game more guys will get voted to probowl in future. Maybe those will start happening more next year.

Anyways, it is the recognition , not the game here guys are after and deserve. Scheduling and location are an issue when guys might get hurt so easily.

OD is an alternate -- I accidentally left him off. I'll edit the post above.

Chris Meyers and Antonio Smith are going to Pro Bowl now.

Wonder if any more guys will end up getting recognition they earned.

And then Coach Kubiak got recognized as AFC coach of the year.

Looking forward to several more good years.

If the Ravens win tomorrow, it means Suggs and Lewis with have plans other than the PB and Barwin & Cushing might be at the head of the line to replace them ? However I don't expect the Ravens to win tomorrows game.
And congrats to Myers and Smith. These guys are 2 vets both around 30 who might not have many more chances to make the trip to Honolulu, so
pretty cool that they get to play in this game.

Since Texans coaching staff earned their vacation coaching AFC squad, wonder if this will lead to a FA signing or two.

I don't remember previous games being this disgustingly limp. Am I deluded or is this year's contest especially bad?

Chuck, as Goodell continues to legislate all the violence out of the game, I wonder if the level of contact we see at the Pro Bowl could eventually be what all NFL games will look like.
