Pro Bowl 2008

I would take Fletcher over Lofi or Willis. Of course I think Pierce and Urlachar should make it over either of them as well. People don't realize that we are a top ten team in yards and rushing and a lot of the reason is Fletcher.

i have to agree with you giantone, Antonio Pierce is a fine middle linebacker. haven't seen enough of his play this year to know if he is more deserving then Fletcher. anyone feel like comparing the 2's stats?

First ...I never said he should go to the pro bowl this year,it has'nt been the best of years for him.
Second...Pierce does alot of other things besides tackling as any middle linebacker can tell you,the Giants D id different than the Skins ...different responsabilities.
Third .........I do believe he does them better than Fletcher,is Flecther ...bad ...no .

I don't know if you have seen Willis play but that guy is an animal!! He's in every play, I say by next year he will be the best middle linebacker in the game. He's that good.

Portis got snubbed, barber doesnt even start

I cried with tears of joy just now when I heard that Taylor had made the Pro Bowl. Just when you think that mankind has compleetly gone to shit, they do something honorable like this to redeem themselves.

So wait...Doesn't taylor's death qualify as an injury or event beyond control...


Who do the redskins send? I hope its landry.

Edit: be it portis or Landry...one of them should wear the number 21.

Fletcher: 5th in the NFL with 120 tackles

Pierce: 33rd in the NFL with 89 tackles.

I thought it should have been Fletcher and Willis, but Tatupu is a good player. That Fletcher was only a third alternate is kind of ridiculous. I don't know that anyone on the Skins, beyond maybe Sellers, is a major league snub. As everyone in the world has pointed out, the guys who got jobbed were Marques Colston, Fred Taylor, and Mario Williams. Plaxico Burress, Ernest Graham, and Joey Galloway probably also deserved some serious consideration.

Every year when the Pro Bowl is announced people ask why they don't push the voting back to the end of the season. I assume it is mostly about marketing and probably won't change, but the NFL really should push the voting back. If you are going to continue letting fans vote then push fan voting back to weeks 14-17 (rather than starting in October) and let the players vote the last week of the season. Won't happen so whatever. The real problem is that then you get to HOF balloting and Pro Bowls are used as part of the justification for enshrinement.

not that it matters, but I think mr. portis will have a bit of a chip on his shoulder for that last game v. dallas.

I'm shocked that Fred Taylor has never been named to the Pro Bowl. He's certainly had some worthy seasons.
