2011 Pro Bowl Rosters

Philip Rivers? I like Rivers a lot, but he shouldn't be there this year.

Ray Lewis? Uh...he's missed half the season.

All the more reason why being named a pro-bowler is a joke. It's a popularity contest for one of the worst football games ever.

Yep. If I were mod of the NFL forum, I'd lock and shitcan this thread for that exact reason.

[War Wagon]

While the game itself is a joke, being recognized as one of the best at your position isn't.

Congrats to Brian Waters, once again a Pro-Bowler after being released by the Chiefs. I'll never get that move.

[MuchoBulls]

Props to JPP. Hopefully the first of many such selections.

Why were Dwight Freeney and Ray Lewis voted as starters?

[trev]

I thought it was a mistake or a joke when I saw Rivers on the list. He is a great QB, but this year he struggled, except for a few games.

- Not sure how Eli makes it over Stafford or Newton

Eli's stats are impressive. His 4th quarter stats are even better.

Cruz got shafted.

[Shoalzie]

I'm not going to get all that upset about Stafford not going to the Pro Bowl...it's not like we watch that game anyway.

Rivers had a terrible year (19 INTs / 5 FUM), yet can't make a case for another AFC QB above him

If I was voting, I would vote Schaub in as AFC #3, even though he only played 10 games.

He was 7-3 as a starter and has a QB rating 10 pts higher than Rivers.

Rivers leads AFC QBs in turnovers and his team lost 6 straight games... in large part because he couldn't take care of the ball.
He's thrown for a lot of yds, but a chunk of that was 'garbage time' yardage.

Might even vote Hasselbeck in before Rivers.

No way Rivers should be rewarded with a pro-bowl appearance this year, imo.

I'll bet you $50 he'll be asked to play (after Brees and Rogers bow out)... whether or not he accepts is another story.

[Van]

And to really make a mockery of this whole thing, go ahead and take a wild guess as to who was chosen to be the AFC's second alternate QB.

Mark Sanchez?

[Van]

Nope. Even worse...

[R-Jack]

Tebow. Ugh.

Joe Flacco has got to be furrowing his unibrow over this.

I resent that remark.....

/s/
Dwight Freeney

[Dinsdale]

Some raw stats

Manning: 4587 yds / 26 TDs / 16 INTs

Stafford 4518 yds / 36 TDs / 14 INTs

Newton 3893 yds / 20 TDs / 16 INTs - 674 yds rushing / 14 rushing TDs

Romo kills those guys in QB Rating.

So much for doing it on sheer numbers.

[jiminphilly]

I've watched 7 minutes of this abortion of a game and I'm turning it off post-haste.

Worst all-star game in the history of sports.

Ever.

Who gives a fuck?

[poptart]

Yes, basically.

[Goober McTuber]

I watched a little of the game early on. It looked like a pre-game walkthrough, guys moving a half-speed, linemen sidling up to each other for a slow dance. At one point, I thought there must have been a whistle I didn’t hear, because the players at the line of scrimmage just quit moving. Then Aaron Rodgers whistled a pass downfield. The crowd booed loudly, and I switched the channel.

[poptart]

59-41?

lol

Oh yeah, where was Matt Walsh?

[Goober McTuber]

That would be totally awesome. Cheating to try and win the Pro Bowl.
