No Milano?

 

Milano is listed as a 1st alternative.

Justin Tucker in front of Bass sure guys a Hall of Famer no shame losing to that guy, wonder who number 2 is though, hell of a thing being number 3 though.

 

Knox getting some serious respect.

Shady thinks : These pro bowl selections are A$$!!!

No Milano????

Oliver is where????

 

Oliver is hopefully accepting a friendly contract that hooks him up but doesn't nerf the team?

[Coach Tuesday]

Very happy for Saffold - this will help him catch on elsewhere in 2023.  Maybe Arizona.

He’s a bust for where he was drafted. He’s a pass rushing DT. 
 

he’s in 4th year and has 13.5 career sacks. 
 

and has 1.5 sacks this year

 

NOT good enough

How is the leading scorer in the NFL not a probowler?  With already 2 game winning kicks this year?  Also, wtf is with Milano not making it?

 

 100% agree on both things you mentioned and was going to post something similar until I saw your post.

Unbelievable neither made it. Oliver as a 4th alt. is criminal also. Hopefully there's some Bills players a little pissed about this and are looking to show they were wrongly passed up.

The snubs are bad, but Saffold being on the page is maybe the biggest head-scratcher. 

[hemma]

Bass leads the league in scoring.

 

Credibility problems.

[ToGoGo]

Trash as always 

[Solomon Grundy]

How'd the Chiefs get 8 players on the squad?

Reputation does have an effect especially with special teams, Justin Tucker is essentially HOF at the position hard to pass that, I am curious who #2 is though, not sure he wouldn't have gotten the top spot in the NFC.

[ChronicAndKnuckles]

Only 4 players make 1st team from the #1 seed in the AFC 😅 Bass & Milano got snubbed for sure, but is anyone really surprised? Pro Bowl is a joke. I expect both these guys to make the All-Pro roster. 

[BigAl2526]

Like most everyone else, I think Milano should have gotten a spot.  First alternate is pretty good though.  Also, like others, I'm surprised Roger Saffold got named as a third alternate.

[Doc Brown]

Allen and Poyer were snubbed last year so glad to see they got in.  Happy for Morse.

 

As for the selection process....the same people who select the All Pro teams should also decide the Pro Bowlers.  Fans are idiots (see Tua).  Savvy players will try to bump up their peers fifth year option (see Edmunds and Lamar last year).  Coaches have enough to do during the season and pry just chooses the most recognizable names to get it over with which could be why R. Smith and Mosley got in ahead of Milano.

[BigAl2526]

There is one team in the NFL with a better record than Buffalo.  There are two other teams with the same record as Buffalo.  There are 6 teams with more first team pro bowlers than Buffalo.  Such is the curse of a small market team.

[Sammy Watkins' Rib]

The pro bowl just needs to be scrapped all together. There is no game anyway? What is the point of having fan voting if the number one vote getter doesn’t even make the pro bowl?

 

Roger Saffold 2nd alternate? Wtf? How is that even possible? Are they drawing random names?

For your reading pleasure, check the replies.

 

 

 

NFL fans are funny.

 

There were lots of people who thought Tua, Herbert, and Fields should have gotten a pro bowl nod. OK.

 

But then there were actually multiple replies saying that Mac Jones got robbed not getting voted to the Pro Bowl. And I even saw one saying Zac Wilson should be in. Am I mistaken, or did both of those QBs get benched this season. How could you really think that guys getting benched by their own teams deserve the Pro Bowl over players like Mahomes, Allen, Burrow, Herbert. Even saw one calling for Brock Purdy...the guy has played what 3 games?

 

Either people were trying to be funny, or NFL fans really have distorted views of their own teams/players.

They really should make a Pass Rusher category separate from LB. Judon & Mack are not really Linebackers.

 

Yep the OLB category are all edge rushers, more of light DEs than OLBs. All good players, but I wouldn't consider them OLB.

 

Also working against any LB in the Bills system is they play Nickel LB. Are they technically ILB or OLB?

 

As the league moves to passing and more defensive coverage in nickel and dime concepts, maybe a category will be added for that?

 

Either way Milano is a stud and a highly rated alternate.

 

Hopefully it is all a mute point as the Bills are off taking care of business
