I doubt Dion will since it's his first.  

 

Agreed.  I would expect any player actually voted in to attend.  It IS an honor, even if a watered-down one.  Josh was smart, too — no snark in his message, blaming it on needing to rest.  We all know the real story.

If Josh was not an alternate, he would be there.... Hes to competitive   SCREW EM!

I used to love the Pro Bowl, because the players actually played as if it were a real game.

 

I always appreciated that it was after the Super Bowl and we got another chance to see our Bills' all stars one more time.  And you're right... I believe both conferences played for pride... nothing like the jersey swapping, flag football competition they serve up today.

Am totally ok with this. Next time roll out the red carpet Pro Bowl! No alternate nonsense for us. 

[Norcalbillsfan]

Unless they ever do a deep ball contest where josh can destroy everyone on national TV I will continue to not watch the pro bowl

[Blainorama5]

You go Josh!!  Screw them.

Players talk to each other remember what The Hoodie told the Monday Night Football Crew last year that he didn’t think Josh was any good? Josh remembered

Tbh I think Josh is being genuine in his comments. I think he would find it hard to not be himself on the field, and his style and competitiveness is too much risk of injury. Not to mention, over the last few weeks he ran the ball a lot and got tackled a lot and really does need recovery. I also think he’s probably a bit mentally exhausted after that game and not really in mindset yet to to go play around in Vegas at the pro bowl. He wants to be playing in a real game right now,  not that. 
 

overall, mature decision with a side order of F U

And it is no longer in Hawaii.  Many players would have issue with going there since vaccine required and they have an "Antonio Brown" rule and they arrest anyone with false cards.

 

We went to Hawaii the first week of this year.  Glad we did because they now mandate a booster shot.

Thank goodness, check that off the list of being worried that he would get injured in the Pro Bowl.

[John from Riverside]

Respect that decision

 

 

[bmur66]

Josh Allen is not an alternate 

[CSBill]

What a diplomatic way to say what could have been said in two words. 

 

Yeah, I guess he could have said "booboos hurt", but he sounds more polished this way.

[Ethan in Cleveland]

Good!!!

 

Dumb to play that game anyways.

[gordong]

so does this count as him being a prowler now...   either way piss off pro bowl!   I hope they all tell the pro bowl to take a flying leap.
