Hi, Jaguars fans! Smile AFC Plays The NFC In the 2017 NFL Pro Bowl in a conference format for the first time since 2012. AFC-NFC Pro Bowl is also being played in the US mainland since the all-star game was played down south in Miami for the 2009 game. Unfortunately, no Jaguars were selected to play in tonight's game, just a short distance in Central Florida, in the Camping World Stadium, aka the Orlando Florida Citrus Bowl.


Tonight's is the 44th NFL AFC-NFC all-star game, with the NFC leading the series 22 games to 21.


Mostly cloudy skies at 56 degrees is the game forecast for the 8:05PM Eastern Standard Time kickoff from the Camping World Stadium aka Orlando, Florida, Citrus Bowl


No injuries, and GO AFC!!!!! Smile

Nobody cares when no Jaguars are in it.

Hopefully every player that participates in this otherwise meaningless annual game avoids injury.

Says the Broncos fan... That's like saying no one cares about the first game of the season if Jax isn't playing. There's a lot of players in other teams I like, and I'll be watching the game today.
IT WAS ALWAYS THE JAGS

everyone cares when Cowboys are in it. You need to watch them very closely since they are your favorite team.

Amen. Unfortunately I don't see it happening.

The first game of the regular season actually does matter to the Jaguars if it includes an AFC team. Exhibition games do not.

What makes you think the Cowboys are my favorite team? I have stated many times I hate the Cowboys.

This is why my preference is for the Pro Bowl to be discontinued.   Tyler Eifert's injury in the previous Pro Bowl had a major adverse affect on him and the Bengals in the 2016 season.

Pretty crazy how the winner of the Pro Bowl gets paid a higher bonus than the winner of the Super Bowl. NFL is really trying.

I haven't watched a single pro bowl in probably 10 years. This year will be no different.

Understandably Tyler Eifert said before the 2016 season if voted in again, he would decline every time.

No reason to watch. It's a joke. How the hell did Matt Stafford not get it. Dude led his team to win in the 4th quarter all year.

Like Allen Robinson needing someone to pull out of it last year. Every year several worthy players are not selected. People watch it to see their favorite players one more time and because there are no other games that weekend.

Does anybody really care about the exhibition game that is as close to touch football as any other?

 

The pro bowl might be a little more relevant if fan voting was taken out of the mix.




There are 10 kinds of people in this world.  Those who understand binary and those who don't.

People just want a football game to watch while waiting for the Super Bowl. They don't care who wins or loses.

The thing is, it's not really a football game given the rules in place.  I understand why the rules are in place, but it doesn't make for a very entertaining game.

What are the current rules differences? Last time I watched it, 3-4 defensive formations were not allowed, but that was long before it became popular outside of Pittsburgh.
