I'll tell you who got snubbed, the Jaguars. Not one player made the squad.

As Spike Lee said, "We Wuz Robbed".

It would be awesome if they won the whole thing and then they tell the Pro-Bowl organizer to shove it.

Probably because Fred is splitting time with Jones-Drew...

using this logic means no way Marion Barber makes it. besides, he is a part time player that cant even start on his own team. while i like him as a back, no way would anyone take him over Portis

i just read this in the comments section of the ESPN Pro Bowl article and found it pretty funny.

ASearle2 (5 minutes ago) Taylor selected to the Pro Bowl is a great thing...

and somewhere Brian Moorman goes... "oh crap, not again".

The afc roster seems to be heavier on the name recognition over performance.

I think the nfc roster is pretty good in terms of who had the best seasons. I don't know why people here are shocked at L. Davis making it. The cowpokes o line has been outstanding & he's been a big part of it. Barber has had a great year too & has become very valuable to a great offense. He fumbled for the FIRST TIME in his career v. Detroit. Portis has put the ball on the ground a lot & has looked sluggish at times. Again, I don't understand the arguments against Barber. At least come up w/something better than Portis. Stephen Jackson is the only other guy that I can think of & he missed a no. of games. Westbrook certainly had a great year.

Andre Carter and London Fletcher should be going too

While both Fletch and Carter are worthy, it was just a numbers game with AC. I think he's playing as good as any DE in the NFC right now. I did expect Fletcher to squeak in though.

AC, as someone pointed out earlier, was simply in a crowded position. The 3 guys in front of him have had huge seasons, though Osi had 6 of his sacks in one game. Don't know if he was that effective through all his games. AC certainly has played the way we need him to.

Fletcher is a tough call. If we had won 10+ games he'd be in.

One thing in the defense of the Barber, in the Barber vs Portis debate.

Barber had FAR FAR less carries than Portis and has been a solid producer all season, has not missed a game and is a beast in the red-zone.

True. But look at how many points the Cowboys have scored compared to the Redskins.

Great to see Sean Taylor, and Chris Cooley make it both of them really deserved it. Also congrats to Chris Samuels on his 5th selection.

Pro Bowl: Samuels, Cooley, Taylor
Not sure if this has been mentioned yet but the Skins also have five alternates named to the Pro Bowl should players ahead of them get injured:

Mike Sellers is a first alternate.
Clinton Portis, and Rock Cartwright are second alternates.
London Fletcher, and LaRon Landry are third alternates.

Mike Sellers got snubbed..... he's having one of the best seasons compared to all the other fullback's in the NFL...

Tony Richardson is from the Vikings.. and I think people are giving him too much credit for Adrian Peterson/Chestor Taylor attack (they have one of the best offensive lines)
