Total joke since it left Hawaii. 

IDK why that is true, but it is. I mean, the players can sure pay for  their own trips to Hawaii now ha ha. In the old days while they could it was quite the perk compared to the tiny bonus it is now. And somehow, we felt taken along for the ride just a bit.

When the game was on the line and they needed THE PLAY to secure it…the AFC turned to Mac Jones to deliver the biggest moment.

Stepfon and Dion get 160 purple chips to mess around with in Vegas.

Not a bad payday if you can get the work.

They should Just make it a 7 man flag game. No need for lineman. That would be more entertaining

 Not a great  TV product, but the players look like they had a lot of fun.

I don't think I've watched the Pro Bowl since the early 90's.

Why bother?

You will see a lot of obvious penalties especially off sides, the officials see almost nothing

So in other words just like a regular season game. Listen, if the pro bowl is going to snub a qb like Josh yet invite a mediocre player like Edmunds,  I'm out.  It's basically pointless anyway with the added 17th game.

I guess this is like an anti-reason.

I say give the linemen a chance to play. Give them a few drives to play the skill positions in a 7 on 7 game. That would be fun to watch, and adds a unique touch the game desperately needs.

Changing the game to before the SB instead of keeping it the week after, ensures the double whammy of both less viewership as football season still not over, as well as players from top 2 teams will never play…what’s not to love? 🤔

This game is unwatchable.

I had it on for the first Qtr and it was so ridiculous.  Several interceptions where the offensive players didn’t even try to stop the interceptors.  I fast forwarded to the 4th to see if, like the NBA All-Star game, they played harder in the 4th, but they didn’t.   
 

That ‘spot and choose’ concept was both dumb and confusing.  They also gave teams the option after scoring to try and get a 4th and 15 conversion, for which the teams were like 1 out of 10.  I hope they don’t adopt these rules for the regular season, but they have been discussed and, quite frankly, it wouldn’t surprise me if they were added.

They should just wear the pads and everything but just play a full contact game with flags. I bet they’d go full bore if there was no tackling. It becomes impossible to even understand when they are blowing plays dead as guys are getting touched. Put flags on them and play a real game.

They should have a mini tourney like the NHL...7 on 7 flag football 2 x5 minute halves in preliminary games

 

2 x10 minute final

 

NFC 4 teams/AFC 4Teams and the winning division gets to host the Super Bowl which will be drawn from the  winning divisions 4 teams.

 

To the NFL......... please send my check for this idea to PO Box Station "A" Toronto On Ca

Appreciate that. Straight Cash tho Homie  😎

A much better idea. Though it could bring it's own set of problems.

Anyone remember the game they used to have every summer when the NFL champs would play against a college all-star team?  Every year I'd get sucked in because it was the first football on TV in months, and in the pre-game they'd say "the college all-stars are going to find out if this NFL team can handle the WISHBONE" and then the game would start and I'd get bored before the first punt.

The Pro Bowl should just go away. Football is a sport where you risk your body. Even a preseason game has justification; players trying to make a team.
