More popular than Tebow? You best be joking.

It just happens... for the AFC... they really are the top 3. Next closest would be Andy Dalton - but he dropped in the last few weeks.

Tebow has vocal fans, but also vocal detractors. Which includes players and coaches, who also vote. As far as fan voting goes, I hear he was ranked #3 in the AFC QB slot, but obviously he got trumped by Rivers in the players/coaches vote.

I don't think Rivers would even rank in the top 5 AFC quarterbacks this season. Dalton and injured players like Schaub should've trumped him.

Why the hell isn't Marshawn Lynch in the Pro Bowl and how the flying flock did Rivers get in off of a terribad season? Schaub, Dalton or even Flacco were more worthy than Rivers.

It's a shame that Beast Mode wasn't voted in. Forte obviously won't suit up though, so Lynch should be able to make the trip.

As for the AFC QBs, even with his down season, Rivers has still outplayed Dalton. Schaub was never going to make it and while I'm a Ravens fan, Joe isn't Pro Bowl worthy at all.

Yeah, I think I read/heard somewhere that this is statistically his worst season. At least he isn't fumbling anymore!

Dilla · 2011-12-28, 15:04

Stafford got screwed. He should have got in over Eli Manning imo.

36 TDs to 14 ints and leading the Lions to it's first playoff run in over a decade trumps Eli's inconsistency.

RWBladewing · 2011-12-28, 15:43

Nobody from the Bills made it. Surprise surprise. People are saying Fred Jackson had a legitimate shot had he not been injured but I doubt it. Once the Bills started that skid they went back to being completely forgotten and I'm almost certain he'd have been overlooked. The fans are also basically over him and back to harping on CJ Spiller. Poor guy can't catch a break.

They felt the need to put a Manning on the roster somewhere...

Mr. DJ · 2011-12-28, 17:48

The only reason Manning got in was because of his 4th Quarter performances. Other than that, I believe Stafford or Romo should have been in when they are statistically better than Eli.

Let's see. The Niners are good. T.O. clamors to join them... he has no shame (oh wait, we know that already):

Anyone's watching this Alamo Bowl game between Baylor and Washington? Score is 60-56 with Baylor on the lead. We still got 8 minutes left on 4th Quarter.

I see this as being an extension of his insane desire to claim a super bowl ring.

Sheeeeee, I might put Matt Moore in that b1tch over Phillip Rivers...Rivers had literally 3 good games this season and led the league in picks and led his team to a 6 game slide based mostly on his own poor play...No way he should be on that team and as far as career goes, I like him (although Diego wishes they still had Breesus^^)...

As someone who loves defensive football, that was painful (yet hilarious) to watch. I wasn't laughing with the teams; I was laughing at them.

Dilla · 2011-12-30, 15:55

Yeah, it was entertaining enough because offense is fun, but that score is just pathetic. Did the defenses have 11 guys on the field? Was that an arena football experiment?

Dilla · 2012-01-01, 04:02

The Bowls have been dull this year.

Hopefully, the final week of the NFL season has some frantic finishes to make up for it.

Well, the very last game IS a playoff game - non-technically.

What? You didn't like the Kraft Feed the Homeless Bowl? How bout the Belk Bowl? I know you saw homies get down in the Care Care Bowl? No? Well the Humanitarian Bowl is yet to come...

Oh Noooooooo, college doesn't need a playoff...The national championship is just another 20 days away! Great post-season...

Sherrod Martin is straight garbage. Carolina needs to get a safety, too.
