I think our 1-4 start really hurt us there.

I don't know, who else really should have made it? We really do not have guys that really stand out. Maybe Edinger, but are we thinking of him as the best in the NFC, or clutch for us for winning a few games.

Man,

I can't believe Pat Williams isn't going.....

I was hoping for a few Vikes to make it, my niece is going to be in the half time show this year, and my Sister (her Mom) and Dad are going to the game also to support her.

Plus they have passes to all the activities going on for the Pro Bowl that week.

I was hoping she would come home with some autographs for me..

I really thought Pat and Koren (speical teams) had earned their spots..

But Sharper not even being a starter is hard to swallow....

Re-read the very first line...."The NFL will announce its Pro Bowl teams next week. "

The article means nothing. Just a CBS Sportsline piece to get people to read it and get a pop-up advertisment.

You can't believe everything you read and then spread it around like it is the truth, or even factual!

As far as I know they are not the ones that pick the teams, so I say take a wait and see attitude and see who goes.

Did you read the article???

"So we thought it a good idea to come up with our own Pro Bowl teams. Based on conversations with scouts, coaches, players and personnel men -- as well as many of my own eyeball observations -- we have our CBS SportsLine.com Pro Bowl teams.

There will be no automatic trip to Hawaii for the guys on these lists. Not even a trip to Hoboken for that matter.

What they can take from it is the satisfaction of knowing that popularity had nothing to do with their names being on these teams."

Just went to NFL.com

You can still vote for your favorite players..

I actually took time to fill it out, and yes, I had a few Purple Votes I kicked in there...LOL

Hey Ned, it is sad that P.Will is not getting his due respect from these guys.

P-Will is probably the best Run stopping/bust into the backfield DT in the league.

But, he is not the best at the Pass Rush. I think the Authors were looking for the "best all around" DT.

But yes, we can STILL all go and Vote for our own P-Will and other Vikes.

Yes, these titles are getting a bit skewed.

Please, no misleading titles. Do that in the Clubhouse.

Just post the title of the article as the title of the thread. That way when people search for it they can just look at the name of the title.
