Probably better than the junk they have been doing for the last few years.

[ToGoGo]

From terrible to worse.

Oh darn, i’m going to miss Pro Bowl RB’s taking the handoff, going up the middle and being hugged to death by a bunch of D-linemen.

[Big Turk]

So will players still be voted to the Pro Bowl and just not play? It's a huge part of contract negotiations and lots of bonuses are tied to them

Right I was thinking that too and I assume they will be voted to participate in “pro bowl week” or whatever they end up calling it

Agree. Flag football was the way Robert Edwards blew out his knee and ruined his career

On a beach, FWIW. 

[Bangarang]

It was already a flag football game. Haven’t watched it in years and I probably still won’t. 

[Einstein]

I loved the skills competition in the 90’s.

 

Im cool with this.

The actual game never did anything for me.

[JoPoy88]

Long overdue

Playing on the beach sand with no equipment was the dumbest thing ever - in hindsight you just shake your head in disbelief...

[Over 29 years of fanhood]

What kind of skill contest will they have for o linemen ? 

[Rc2catch]

Not a fan of flag football. But the skills part might be fun. I always enjoyed the little obstacle courses and stuff they’d setup. 
I’d rather watch Vita Vea and Trent Brown have a chicken wing eating contest, a Beasley vs AB rap battle, thumb wrestling between Graham Gano and Daniel Carlson than watch the actual pro bowl game.

I actually coach 14u travel flag football…….I love it lol 

[Ethan in Cleveland]

Kill it. Vote for All-Pro and 2nd team All-Pro. No more alternate ProBowls for the 6th guy because 1-5 don't want to go.

[BIGFOOTspaceman]

They should just select the pro bowl team, put them together in Madden, turn injuries off and broadcast the simulation....Id watch that

[PetermansRedemption]

It already was flag football. This is just formalizing it. Either way, still wont be watching.
