How does London Fletcher, the leader in tackles in the NFL, not make the Pro Bowl?
December 27th, 2011 at 9:12 PM ^
He's been tackling and not making pro bowls for years
December 27th, 2011 at 9:19 PM ^
I know and it's rediculous.
December 27th, 2011 at 9:29 PM ^
We went 0-16...it's more important where said tackles are made.
December 28th, 2011 at 10:22 AM ^
It's not his fault that the offense is so bad. He makes plays week in and week out. It's crazy how good he is at his age.
December 27th, 2011 at 9:36 PM ^
London Fletcher is the Rodney Dangerfield of NFL players. I think he's made like 2 pro bowl appearances when in reality he should have at least 7 or 8.

the Lions still have not had a ProBowl QB since Greg Landry. I would imagine that if one of the three drops out (Rogers / Brees in the Super Bowl?) then Stafford will be under consideration with Alex Smith for a replacement pick.
December 27th, 2011 at 9:14 PM ^
Rodgers.
Stafford is an alternate, but how you can put him and Eli head to head and think that Eli had a better season is beyond me. Fuck New York and their humongous population and media bias.
December 27th, 2011 at 9:29 PM ^
Manning has a better YPA, but is behind Stafford in basically every other stat (10 fewer TDs, 2 more picks, worse completion percentage).
December 27th, 2011 at 11:14 PM ^
They just have to appease the New York market so they gave Eli the nod. It's a bunch of B.S. Stafford threw for an equal amount of yards and has more TD's, less interceptions, and a higher QB rating.
December 28th, 2011 at 10:27 AM ^
Stafford had a great year, but they'll probably say that Manning got it because of his clutchness, and Stafford was clutch too, and the lack of weapons. They've had a lot of injuries on offense, a mediocre O-line, and a pretty bad running game. He's had to put the offense on his back this year. I think Stafford definitely has a legitimate claim, but I don't think numbers capture what Manning has done this year. I'm a Giants fan and this has probably been one of his most impressive seasons, despite making some boneheaded throws from time to time.
December 27th, 2011 at 9:12 PM ^
Unlikely that he will make the team. Injuries probably cost him a chance to make it this year.
December 27th, 2011 at 9:38 PM ^
The fact that only one player on the Steelers D made it is a joke considering their total defense.
December 27th, 2011 at 9:16 PM ^
Eli manning over stafford??? Effing joke.
December 27th, 2011 at 9:22 PM ^
Where is his love too? He had an outstanding year! 11 sacks, 6 FFs, 1 int, come on man
December 27th, 2011 at 9:25 PM ^
Tulloch too. He's had a great year. Avril snub, Stafford snub.....
December 27th, 2011 at 9:26 PM ^
you have Jared Allen, Jason Babin and Jason Pierre Paul having a better year than Avril. All have more sacks than Avril. All came at weakside DE position which is harder to produce sack than lining up at strongside DE position in which Avril lines up. It's not a joke when the competition for NFC DE spot is fierce. Justin Smith is also a DE but is classifed as an interior lineman and is having a great year.
December 27th, 2011 at 9:55 PM ^
Woodson has 35 INT in the past 6 seasons since he has played for Green Bay. That is impressive. He is also not afraid to mix it up and make contact a bit too.
December 27th, 2011 at 10:05 PM ^
Without all the injuries in Oakland for his career.
December 28th, 2011 at 3:12 AM ^
They'd be naming a trophy after him already
December 27th, 2011 at 10:13 PM ^
David Harris got snubbed.
December 27th, 2011 at 11:46 PM ^

Patriots were tied with the Niners for most Pro Bowlers, so I can't really complain. However, I don't get how Antonio Gates made the Pro Bowl when Aaron Hernandez has 13 more receptions and 100 more yards receiving. Is there a quota on players on the same team who play the same position? Whatever. As many of the Pats players have already said, Plan A) Indy Plan B) Hawaii.
How many of these guys do you think will actually play in the Pro Bowl?
December 28th, 2011 at 12:37 AM ^
With their defense, the Patriots could easily be out after the second week of the playoffs.
December 28th, 2011 at 12:02 AM ^
I love Jake Long but there's no way he deserved the Pro Bowl nod over Duane Brown.
December 28th, 2011 at 3:13 AM ^
Michigan>everything else
December 28th, 2011 at 2:01 AM ^
miami gets into the pro bowl. thank-you jake long. gws.
December 28th, 2011 at 8:55 AM ^
No Tebow? He does have a Michigan connection. We did a pretty good job of kicking his butt . a couple of years back.
December 28th, 2011 at 12:37 PM ^
Great to see these Michigan greats continuing their strong Pro performances
