Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted January 12, 2023 Posted January 12, 2023 How in the name of God did they get some of that bunch to follow the instructions? Read into that comment whatever you like. 🤨 Quote
dave mcbride Posted January 12, 2023 Posted January 12, 2023 That is a good and logical all-pro team. I can’t argue with any of it. 4 Quote
GunnerBill Posted January 12, 2023 Posted January 12, 2023 (edited) They did a pretty darn good job! When does the official AP all pro list get released? And will anyone get to be a second team all-pro with 1 vote this year (looking at you Cole Beasley)? Edited January 12, 2023 by GunnerBill 1 2 Quote
LabattBlue Posted January 12, 2023 Posted January 12, 2023 (edited) How do the results look for the media all-pro team? Edited January 12, 2023 by LabattBlue Quote
Big Turk Posted January 12, 2023 Posted January 12, 2023 (edited) Of course no Bills are on it, although I can't really argue with any of the ones who are. I would have probably swapped out Donald with Quinnen Williams tho...Donald has been injured a lot of the year. Edited January 12, 2023 by Big Turk 1 5 Quote

But it is players voting on who they played against... and I bet most of them prepare themselves mentally for Aaron Donald over and above any opponent. Even though, as you say, not a good year by his standard. Edited January 12, 2023 by GunnerBill Quote

Even though, as you say, not a good year by his standard. Yes, I think they view him as the best of the best in the technical sense, and basically unblockable. He only played in 11 games for a very bad team, but was still Aaron Donald when he played. 1 Quote
K D Posted January 12, 2023 Posted January 12, 2023 Davante Adams really sticks out as not deserving to be on that list. Hill had an amazing year playing with some pretty crappy QB's. Diggs had a great year too but Hill deserved it 2 1 Quote

Also led the league in TD receptions. Edited January 12, 2023 by dave mcbride 1 2 Quote
Captain Hindsight Posted January 12, 2023 Posted January 12, 2023 Does Kyle Juszczyk just get all pro by default? How many FBs are there Quote

Also led the league in TD receptions. The TD stat is pretty good I suppose. I was looking at Hill's stats and 1700 receiving yards (200 more than Adams) with 1/4 of those games with Teddy Bridgewater and Skylar Thompson and the rest with noodle arm Tua is pretty impressive Edited January 12, 2023 by KDIGGZ Quote

I’d have found a way to put Jeffrey Simmons or Q Williams in there. And Josh Allen, too, but that Mahomes guy is pretty good. And are we sure Roquan Smith was better than Matt Milano this year? 1 Quote
mjd1001 Posted January 12, 2023 Posted January 12, 2023 4 minutes ago, John from Riverside said: How in the world did we go 13 and three? By having more depth than a lot of teams that had players on that list. By having players that COULD have made the list but missed out by a very small amount likely (Allen, Diggs). By the players who made that list being rated 10 on a scale of 1-10 and the Bills simply having no '10s' but a lot of 7s, 8,s and 9s. 2 1 Quote

Putting AD on the list is stupid and based solely on reputation. Good to know they are no better than the AP Edited January 12, 2023 by FireChans 1 Quote
