Sherman is a liar and deserves nothing. The media may have to play nice but facts are facts. A little dribble of piss running down a cup shouldn’t excuse his guilt!

Kalil & Sullivan can run block well but pass rushers pour over Ponder like water. Greenway is a great tackler but 8 or 9 yds deep too many times. Rudolph, if he didn’t disappear for a couple of games should have made it.

in what world is Cambell better against the run then JPP. I understand JPP may have had a down year compared to last year but at least make a valid argument for Christ’s sake.

Lavonte David is an even bigger snub than Kuechly. Top 10 in tackles despite playing at WLB rather than MLB, and is also 3rd in the NFL in tackles for loss. He’s one of those opportunistic players that gets them at key times, and is the biggest factor in the Bucs going from dead last in rushing defense to #1 in the NFL in just one season. The Bucs’ defense as a whole is still sub par due to the secondary and a lack of pass rush, but that shouldn’t detract from the incredible season he’s having. You could actually make a decent argument for him as a starter; to not even be named an alternate is a crime.

No complaints about all those players from dreadful KC and no CJ Spiller. He was robbed. @footballady52. 🏉

As a Vikings fan I don’t think Allen deserved to get in while I do believe Greenway and Sullivan got screwed on a popularity contest and maybe Kalil.. Okung is a monster hard to say if Kalil is any better.

Biggest defensive snub is Luke Kuechly he’s only leading the league in tackles as a rookie.. If anyone has watched this kid play it dont take long to see he’s the real deal..

How CJ Spiller doesnt make the pro bowl is laughable. It’s too predicated on wins. I’m a Bills fan but there are maybe 2 DT that are better than Kyle Williams. He dominates almost every game. Pro Bowl is a joke, but it would be nice if some of the Bills got recognized for their talent. it’s not their fault they have Chan “loser” Gailey as the HC.

Arian Foster had 143 yards more than CJ Spiller on 152 more carries. The only reason Spiller isn’t in the Pro Bowl is because he plays for the Bills, who the rest of the country has forgotten about. Spiller had a historically great season, and along with AP, they are BY FAR the two best RBs in the NFL. I Feel bad for Spiller, I would demand a trade if I were him. Same goes for Jairus Byrd, who is the best safety in the AFC, but can’t even get a mention in an article about snubs. Sucks to be a Bill.

The entire Pro Bowl process should be changed. When the ‘fans’ are allowed to pick you get some ridiculous choices, like Jeff Saturday. Saturday admitted he was playing worse than Evan Dietrich-Smith, who had to fight for a roster spot this year. The game is a complete farce. Why would any player risk a multi-million dollar career to play in a meaningless game?
If you want to make this legit, no game, have a dinner in Hawaii for players and families.
Have the selection process by the players, coaches and GM’s. They know what is going on. Johnny Q. Pimpleface sitting in Podunk, Kansas probably doesn’t know much about the Buffalo Bills, right?
The NFL has lost it’s mind on this one and it’s time to end the sham before it gets worse.

The fact that Saturday made the pro bowl when he isn’t even good enough to start on his own team tells you all y0u need to know about pro bowl balloting. Much like the pro bowl game itself, it’s a joke and the NFL should stop embarrassing themselves.

Tim Jennings not only has 8 INTs he also is responsible for 2 more that I can think of off the top of my head. Some of his INTs have just been spectacular and I think that’s what sticks in peoples minds… when you go and look at him snatching balls out of the air that were perfectly placed for a TD with that massive 40 inch vertical.

Tim Jenning is impressive and that’s with missing two games. He’d have a better then 50/50 chance of having 1 more pick if not two had he played in those two games.

Aside from Drew Brees..How the hell did Mark Sanchez get left out of the pro bowl?!?! Someone fill me in plz?

Evan Mathis has been the best guard in football the last 2 years and still doesn’t have a Pro Bowl selection, what a joke

After reading how Tim Jennings should be bounced off this pro bowl list I could not sign in fast enough to defend him. But after reading most of the comments left on this Article there was no need. Peanut and Jennings forced more turn overs then some team defenses did all year. Give it up for the guys who played well Anne stop crying about a cheater. After beating the 49ers he said on national tv “they can’t suspend me they broke the rules on their end”. Not I did not do it or I’m sorry, just they broke the rules so there for I should not be punished. He is a PUNK and that is why I won’t even right his name in my post!!!

Will Montgomery has had a tremendous season at center for Washington.

Jeff Saturday? What a joke.

umm Luke Keuchly?

Dude leads the NFL in tackles and has 2 ints.

And has anybody outside of the Carolina’s ever heard of Charles Johnson and Greg Hardy? Those guys are the best DE duo in the league.

Me thinks, perhaps, that they are not picking some players because it’s quite possible those players won’t be available for the Pro Bowl? Maybe give the next-best guy a starting shot?

As a Vikings fan, I say switch Allen for Kalil or Sully.

Most of the voters have no idea who to vote for on the offensive line. Most votes are by name recognition only, which is the reason for Jeff Saturday making the roster. I realized during maurkice pouncey’s rookie year that he would be a perennial pro bowler just because of the one season he had. Look who made the pro bowl again this year.

I hate to say this as a Viking fan, but John Sullivan? He may be a solid run blocker, but he gets pushed around far too often on passing plays to be considered a top-notch center.

I thought there was a new rule that anyone under a PED suspension or suspicion (like Sherman, since he has appealed) could not be in the Pro Bowl. Correct me if I’m wrong, though.

The NFL’s leading tackler did not make the Pro Bowl either (Luke Kuechly).

Here’s one for those arguing stats- James Jones. Shouldn’t leading the league in TD receptions count for something?

Todd McClure even being mentioned in the same sentence as “pro bowl” is laughable and this is coming from a big Falcons fan. I’m pretty sure I can bull rush him over at 190 lbs.

Love me some Julio but Roddy should have made it over him.

Once again the pro bowl proves to be nothing more than a popularity contest
