Fingon Posted December 19, 2006 Posted December 19, 2006 Peters: 14 games 2 sacks allowed Ogden: 14 games 3.5 sacks allowed Tarik Glenn: 14 games 3 sacks allowed Willie Anderson: 14 games 2.5 sacks allowed
Bob in STL Posted December 19, 2006 Posted December 19, 2006 Peters: 14 games 2 sacks allowed Ogden: 14 games 3.5 sacks allowed Tarik Glenn: 14 games 3 sacks allowed Willie Anderson: 14 games 2.5 sacks allowed 872495[/snapback] Yes, that proves it.
IDBillzFan Posted December 19, 2006 Posted December 19, 2006 The Pro Bowl is a big-name popularity contest. People like Jason Peters won't get in for a while, and even then the team will need to be winning more and playing in more primetime games. Outside of Bills fans and a few reporters/critics/NFL talking heads, you can count the number of people who know Jason Peters on the hand of a bad woodshop teacher.
RuntheDamnBall Posted December 19, 2006 Posted December 19, 2006 Peters will probably get in when his reputation precedes him, as with these guys who made it this year, Ruben Brown, and a host of others. For OLs and other positions where stats don't tell the story, selections often occur when guys are past the years in which they truly excelled.
stuckincincy Posted December 19, 2006 Posted December 19, 2006 Peters: 14 games 2 sacks allowed Ogden: 14 games 3.5 sacks allowed Tarik Glenn: 14 games 3 sacks allowed Willie Anderson: 14 games 2.5 sacks allowed 872495[/snapback] The only Anderson in the league who plays tackle is Wlilie Anderson of the B'gals. He's a RT. And fact of life....0.500 or below teams' club members seldom get consideration. I know that flies in the face of today's Honor Rolls by quota, or multiple Valedictorians, but there it is...
Lori Posted December 19, 2006 Posted December 19, 2006 Updated team rankings: Bills 31st in total yardage, 28th in yards per play, 31st in sacks/pass attempt. Can't say I'm all that surprised that nobody from the offense made it, although I'll be curious to see where Evans ended up on the WR list...

ajzepp Posted December 19, 2006 Posted December 19, 2006 Even as a die hard Bills fan, I think selecting Peters to the pro bowl this year would cheapen my view of it. It would sort of be like voting in Tony Romo after only eight or nine games....oh, wait....

Tortured Soul Posted December 19, 2006 Posted December 19, 2006 It will be hard for Peters to break through, because even has the Bills start winning and Jon Ogden fades into the limelight, Marcus McNeil looks like he will take his place as the annual selection.
jarthur31 Posted December 19, 2006 Posted December 19, 2006 Peters will be making many PB appearances in the years to come, fret not.
Ramius Posted December 19, 2006 Posted December 19, 2006 Its the offensive line. once you get a spot on the pro-bowl roster, its yours until you retire/are traded.

It would sort of be like voting in Tony Romo after only eight or nine games....oh, wait.... 872534[/snapback] Why Romo & not McNabb? Mind you, apart from Brees, Bulger, Romo & McNabb there is nobody in the NFC who performed consistently well at QB this season.

ganesh Posted December 20, 2006 Posted December 20, 2006 If I remember vaguely the voting is 1/3rd fans, 1/3rd players and 1/3rd coaches around the league. Peters, to be recognized outside the teams he played this year will require the bills to play national games....We did not play in any.
John from Riverside Posted December 20, 2006 Posted December 20, 2006 Peters: 14 games 2 sacks allowed Ogden: 14 games 3.5 sacks allowed Tarik Glenn: 14 games 3 sacks allowed Willie Anderson: 14 games 2.5 sacks allowed 872495[/snapback] I was laughing on finheaven when they were talking about how their pro bowl DE was going to eat up our LT.... I was like "are you talking about Jason Peters" they were like "who in the is Jason Peters?" Well...they know who he is now.....
ganesh Posted December 20, 2006 Posted December 20, 2006 Why Romo & not McNabb?Mind you, apart from Brees, Bulger, Romo & McNabb there is nobody in the NFC who performed consistently well at QB this season. 872602[/snapback] If you really look at the NFC, besides Drew Brees, there is no QB that has had a pro-bowl caliber season. The closest would be Romo, who has scored lots of touchdowns. McNabbs season was cut short to 1/2 season, so he cannot count. Bulger has had a Ok season and his team has taken a beating in the last 4 weeks. Remember, people tend to remember the last 4 weeks before the pro-bowl announcement than the entire season or the 1st 4/5 weeks of the season. It is the nature of the beast.
bluv Posted December 20, 2006 Posted December 20, 2006 I was laughing on finheaven when they were talking about how their pro bowl DE was going to eat up our LT.... I was like "are you talking about Jason Peters" they were like "who in the is Jason Peters?" Well...they know who he is now..... 872662[/snapback] So what; Gandy has shutdown Taylor the past 2,3 games as well as until Sunday when JP held the ball too long he hadn't sacked JP and really hasn't been much of a factor the past few times we have played them.
Dibs Posted December 20, 2006 Posted December 20, 2006 .....The closest would be Romo, who has scored lots of touchdowns. McNabbs season was cut short to 1/2 season, so he cannot count.....872681[/snapback] Actually up to this week, McNabb had started & completed 1 more game(9) than Romo(8) and has thrown for 2 more TDs(plus 3 more on the ground) and 4 less INTs. I'm not trying to make an argument for McNabb.....simply showing how astounding it is(when you consider McNabb) that Romo got the probowl selection.
BuffaloBilliever Posted December 20, 2006 Posted December 20, 2006 I told Marv to pick up Marcus... I told him...
