Redskins Pro Bowl Thread

I beleive it was discussed at length last year but the Pro Bowl needs to go away it is a joke. I never watch it and I am a football junkie.

I think they should just come up with a All-Pro team with 1st 2nd and maybe 3rd string. Have the coaches and players vote and be done with it. Only thing dumber then the fans voting for the players is actually playing this game. The sport doesn't lend itself well to a all star type game.

This.

In this forum we are pissed that Fletcher got left out, how about Matthew Stafford being left out for Eli Manning or Navorro Bowman who I think had a monster year?

I don't understand why fans get worked up about Pro bowl voting. It's a popularity contest that generally rewards the winning teams. And personally the Redskins are a 5 win team so I am not all that concerned with players getting individual awards. I actually prefer that they have none...maybe it will bond them together and propel them to actually acomplish something worth recognition next season.

Good post. I would add that it rewards teams with the most brain-dead homerish fans.

I'm guess if you went around the NFL and asked players who had the most tackles this year most would have no clue. Having 10 to 13 tackles in a game does not make it on ESPN unless there is a turnover involved. Then you add in the skins record and that explains why Fletcher did not get any votes.

The Fans had a chance to vote I remember a year or two ago on this site there was a link to the voting,did any of you vote?

I voted three times for Fletcher and Alexander.

Even beyond the tackle stats, Fletcher had more INTs and had 3 FFs compared to Willis' 4.


Not really sure why Fletcher didn't get the start in the Pro-Bowl just on stats alone.


That said, Tim Tebow is a alternate. Do you need to know anything more?

So the Skins now have five alternates.

London Fletcher
Lorenzo Alexander
Brian Rakpo
Sav Rocca
fifth to be named.

Has to be Reed Doughty, just has to be!
