Nada. Didn't expect any , but it makes you wonder how a team like the Titans can put 5 in and our team, supposedly " loaded with talent " , puts in none. Raiders, supposedly on the same rebuilding slope as the Jags, placed 7. Even the Browns had 1.

Because we're 2-12 and they are 8-6. It's not that hard.

Telvin is the only guy who has an argument, and 4-3 OLBs don't make the pro bowl.

Because the pro bowl isn't about talent it's about who had the coolest dance or did something to get talked about by the media.


I'm not saying the jags should have had someone in but when a guy like Melvin Gordon doesn't make it then it's stops being about talent.


Edit: Scratch what I said about Gordon I didn't relize how well McCoy was playing.

Even our " top 5 " defense didn't get 1.I said I didn't expect any, you missed the point. Apparently our talent isn't as good as we've been led to believe.

Yeah, when you are 2-12, even if you have a Pro Bowl caliber player, you are going to be overlooked.

Exactly this. Not to mention a small market. If the Cowboys were 2-12, they would still get more exposure to have a pro bowler than we would.

Pro Bowl is a joke.  They should discontinue the game.  It's a notch below flag football.

Bull [BLEEP].   It's because we're 2-12 and it's a popularity contest based on a fan vote.

At some point you just have to let go of what you thought should happen and live in what is happening.

My issue is: Fan voting should carry no weight in an accolade that is considered when discussing a players legacy.

Totally agree. I think it's why all pro awards have been taken more seriously.


The top 100 for instance while some what skewed is still a better ranking system then the pro bowl.

I agree.  Too bad people look at stats and the bad coverage killed the guy.

Well, the good news is, Pro Bowlers get an all expense paid trip to sunny ORLANDO. Much better than Hawaii.
