It's funny how teams with the best record always have the most players in every season. ATL? Seriously?

If London Fletcher was a Cowboy. He would of been in....

How many times did LD make a touchdown saving tackle at the goaline, or a big play like an interception to prevent a score, or a sack at a crucial moment? More times then any other LB in the NFC. I know that..

Ofcourse when your defense is ranked 32nd. I guess you can't really get to many people in.

Its a popularity contest not impressed with pro bowl voting. Hall voted in- yeah figures, way to overlook Fletcher again.

Hall's kind of an odd selection, although this was pretty clearly the most deserved of all three of his pro bowls. Made a number of winning plays for us this year.

I was critical of Aaron Rodgers last year, but seriously NFL? Your solution to having only one pro bowl spot for Mike Vick and Matt Ryan is to put both of them in and leave Rodgers out? Insanity, absolute insanity.

And Casey Rabach is wondering why Antrel Rolle gets to the pro bowl twice in a row in years where he is going to not be brought back by the teams he is representing due to poor performance. Rabach is at least as deserving as Rolle is. Not to mention that LaRon Landry and Quentin Mikell both don't get to go.

I kind of think Landry got snubbed. He only played in 9 games...that's just as many as Ed Reed, and he was better in his 9 games than Reed was in his. He was likely the second most valuable safety in the NFL after Polamalu this year. And the pro bowl selectors clearly did not value games played this season (Vick>Rodgers, Reed>Griffin, O'Hara>Kreutz), so that argument against Landry is complete bunk based on the rest of the selections.

He should have been our lone pro bowler.

I thought players on IR couldnt play in the Pro Bowl?:benched:

For those saying Landry should've been our lone Pro Bowler, you are right because he was definitely worthy, but you have to understand he was put on IR before the coaches and players voted for their Pro Bowl ballots, and if you are on IR when they do their voting, you aren't going to be on the ballot. That is the reason Landry didn't get in.

And 5 Cowboys making it is a crock of shit. Ratliff and Gurode def. didn't deserve to go, I can't argue with McBriar because he is one of the best punters in the league, and can't really argue with Witten or Ware either. Should've been 3.

Didn't know if Hall would make it but I'm not disappointed he did. He's certainly not been a shutdown corner this season, but he's made 6 picks in addition to at least 2 games we won because of him. He made his share of plays, and that outweighed the times his bad plays.

I can see why Orakpo didn't make it, before he got injured I don't think he had a sack in quite a while. He was on fire the first half of the season with like 7.5 sacks in 7 games, but he had like 1 sack in 7 or 8 games after that. And he still might make it if one of the guys ahead of him bows out due to injury or Super Bowl duties.

And I can see why Fletch didn't make it, I mean aside from his tackling he's had a down year by his standards this year, and our defense being a pile of dog shit didn't help either.

Basically not suprised by 1 Skin going this year, we haven't played that well all season long, and we certainly don't have the name recognition shitty teams like the Cowboys have. And that number might go up by the time the game is played, so it ain't no biggie.

Happy for D Hall and our alternates. I find it funny that Dallas sent more than we did, I guess all it takes is a star on your helmet. The Pro Bowl has turned into a middle school class election, it is all about who is popular.

Sarcasm, right? Very clever. I'll play along...

Since neither one were candidates for coach of the year, they should be FIRED. In fact, once they're dismissed, and the new coach doesn't go at least 12-4 in his first season -- HE'S FIRED TOO.

Then on to the next coach, then the next, then the next, then the next ...

the only thing worse than the ProBowl is the Pro Bowl voting...

I don't think any Skins played well enough to go, but clearly not all 5 cowboys should have either, and I am sure there are other examples, I just didn't look at all the rosters.
