Here is what I think is FAR more important...
As of today, the Washington Redskins have the same record as the Dallas Cowboys.
I want to have the Skins make the playoffs and have only one person on their whole squad make the Pro Bowl while the Cowboys miss the playoffs and still have 13 of their players named to the game.
The Pro Bowl is irrelevant. It does not matter.
Playoffs are where we need to focus attention and interest.

John Riggins has made the exact argument for years...as he said once on Redskin Report, "Why in the hell risk injury in a useless game."
