Four Pro Bowlers

Bubba?????

I have to say, this is bullshit.

Woodson should be there instead of Harris, without a doubt.

I think Jennings is more deserving than Driver, though I won't complain.

I can't believe Barnett isn't on there.

And how the hell are Bubba Franks and Nick Collins alternates?!?!

It's like I could have written down the same comments.

BIG TIME DITTO.

It's probably not getting worked up about. How many of us were actually going to watch the pro-bowl?

That's the thing. Nobody cares about how the player plays in the Pro-Bowl, it's whether they go or not.

[MJZiggy]

Nah, but we'll be spending the whole offseason saying "well so-and-so is a PRO BOWL player!!"

[packinpatland]

It really isn't that important, but.............why can't they wait to tally the votes, or announce till after the last game of the regular season?

7 Vikings graced the team.

Adrian Peterson
Tony Richardson
Matt Birk
Steve Hutchinson
Kevin Williams
Pat Williams
Darren Sharper


For what it's worth I agree with you guys on Woodson. I voted for him.

What's your impression of Kevin Williams this year? And Birk? I thought he was pretty much done after his hip injury a couple of years ago...Did he rebound?

[HarveyWallbangers]

Harvey's Pro Bowl would have included Favre, Driver or Jennings, Clifton, Woodson, Barnett, and Kampman. Other guys who should have gotten some consideration are Harris, Lee, and perhaps Pickett and Wells.

Birk had a sports hernia, not really a hip injury and he's playing pretty well. Kevin Williams is having a pretty good year too. Are they the best guys for the pro bowl? Hard to say on lineman. The pro bowl selection is what it is.

For me Favre, Jennings, Woodson, Kampman. Strong consideration Barnett. Some consideration Harris....maybe Wells.

The only player I really feel that was snubbed is Woodson.

There is a case for Barnett, because he is playing the best football of his career and he is clearly one of the top five middle linebackers in the league, but is he really playing better than Lofa? I kind of disagree that Willis is more deserving than Barnett, but the rookie is doing some very impressive things. Stat-wise, they're pretty much interchangeable.

                 Tckls    Sacks    Ints    FF     PDef
Patrick Willis    142      1        0      1       3 
Lofa Tatupu       101      1        4      3       13
Nick Barnett      119     3.5       2      0       6

Taylor posthumously voted to NFC Pro Bowl team

[3irty1]

Besides Collins and Bubba non the rest really came as a surprise to me.

Al Harris may not have the stats to be a fan favorite but the players he covers respect him and coaches love his durability. Chuck is an outstanding corner as well but Al's the guy we trust with a teams biggest threat at receiver. This is pretty much the same reason DD got the nod over Jennings.

Barnett is enjoying a great year but he's just too disrespectful for his peers to send him to Hawaii. I believe everybody knows that he's a better MLB on a better defense.

[LL2]

Barnett should be on the Pro Bowl team. I hope he's pissed and takes it out on the field.

[footballfever]

The nice thing about Barnett not making it is that he's already got the contract he deserves. Having the Pro Bowl on your resume is a bargaining chip, which really sucks cause half the people that go don't deserve it and there is a large percentage of that don't go that are over deserving. The whole Pro Bowl format has to change, the game means nothing, the voting process is tainted and no one watches it anyway. If the fans are that stupid the percentage of their vote should be greatly reduced, I don't even know what percentage the fan vote counts for but IMO they should take the top player from each position that the fans vote for and thats it. After that leave it up to the players and coach's to fill out the rest of the roster and reserves.
