Dallas got 11 people, 3 more than the 2nd place team. (Patriots)

There are 3 rookies.

One dead guy.

Jacksonville was ignored although the Jaguars are 10-4 and on the verge of clinching a playoff spot in the AFC.

So were all four teams in the NFC South, plus Detroit and the New York Jets.

No Fred Taylor even though he has more yards than Joseph Addai... and he has a 5.1 average vs. Addai's 4.1 average.

Thank goodness Roy Williams didn't make it. He is probably the most overrated defensive player in the history of the league.

Josh Cribbs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and Braylon Edwards. I love Cribbs and it is awesome that the Browns got two players. Josh is flat out awesome. The reason why the Browns offense is good this year, is because Cribbs gives the Browns excellent field position-he is either returning it a long way or the other team is kicking it short so the Browns get good field position anyways. And Braylon-he is playing great this year-they are saying that he is having the best year as a Browns wide receiver.

I thought Winslow had a shot to make the team-he is playing great, and I thought Joe Thomas had a chance. I am gald Anderson didn't make it because he is very overrated.

What are your thoughts on Sean Taylor? I guess it's cool that he is a starter, but it is kind of weird.

blugh

Tom Brady's good, but it's his support staff that's crossing him into Peyton Manning levels this year.

Manning makes players famous.



Yeah, I know, I'm the bitter one that Indy got the shaft in the lady luck department this season... we get it


Edit: oh yeah hooray for Jeff Saturday, Peyton Manning, Joseph Addai, Reggie Wayne, and Bob Sanders.

Sorry to Wes Welker and Dallas Clark even though Antonio Gates and Tony Gonzalez are consistently top picks. They should add one more WR/TE position that is filled with a slot receiver type tight end.

People come to Washington believing it is the center of power. It was only much later that I learned that Washington is a steering wheel that's not connected to an engine.

I look at the Senators and pray for this country.

It may be true that you can't fool all the people all the time, but you can fool enough of them to rule a large country.

Oh, and James Harrison is extremely deserving. I am very proud for him. I didn't think Troy was gonna make it because of his injuries/overall not his best season.

Winslow isn't going to make a pro bowl until Gates and Gonzalez retire. The TE position is way too stacked in the AFC.

Honestly who would've been your choice for 3rd?

In case you didn't realize it Big Ben has more TDs than Peyton 29/28, less ints 11/13, and a better QB rating 100.5/95.2, and a higher completion % 64.7/63.6. Peyton crushes him in yards but has thrown 80 more times. Imagine those numbers if he had a line.

Ben is clearly without a shadow of a doubt the 3rd best QB in the AFC this season.

i think Colston along with F Taylor were snubbed

Colston should easily replace holt or driver. more catches, tds, and yards then the both of them. I mean driver has 2 freaking TDs Colston has 9

Driver was rewarded for Green Bay's success, though I think Jennings has been their better receiver this year for them. He has less catches and yards than Driver, but he does more per reception and gets more yards after the catch, not to mention 10 more touchdowns and getting into the end zone should mean something.

As a general rule Pro Bowlers get snubbed in the 1st year they deserve it and 1 year after they no longer deserve it.

I don't think that rule applies to Taylor as he has been snubbed like 5x

Only RB in history to get over 10k yards and never make the team.

i tried to talk here about that program, the RNG , not to talk about when to accept all in without to see flop.
You can accept all in whenever you want, or whenever you feel lucky, but in virtual room's is not like in reality. In reality anything is possible... in virtual rooms you can be "the one" who knows the future, or who can change the future.

Not really, cause we're talking history here, not just this year.

I'm not a very big fan of Ben, personally. And if you've ever met him, and not just seen him on TV or from a distance when there are cameras present, you wouldn't be a big fan either.
