PSSSHHHRRR87 Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Not sure if this has been posted yet, but the 2012 Pro Bowl rosters have been released and only Falcons player is on the list, Gonzalez of course. I do feel like there should have been more of our players on this roster, but I'd rather see our players in the SB than the PB anyway. Felt 'Spoon and Turner were left off.http://espn.go.com/blog/nflnation/post/_/id/51016/2012-pro-bowl-roster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DemDirtyBirds4 Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 I thought Spoon and Lofton deserved to go. The whole thing is a joke anyway, I mean Cam Newton is the first alternate for QB over both Ryan and Stafford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconinPA Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Ryan had a great year, but I think he had better get used to being left off for a while with QB's like Rodgers, Brees, Stafford, Manning and Newton to deal with. Spoon should have made it, hopefully next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukfalc Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 The Falcons will always get overloked in these things, unless we have a spectacularly good seasons - especially since the flawed public vote was introduced.A lot of players get selected based on reputation and hype, and a team like ours who quietly go about their business and who are disrespected in the media, will always be overlooked.Lofton will struggle as long as Urlacher and Willis are still playing, as those guys get a ton of votes based on reputation alone - irrespectiove of whether or not they are the best right now. It will be a struggle for Spoon as well, as 3-4 OLBs will be favoured amongst fans based on their gaudy sack numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g-dawg Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 I thought Spoon and Gonzalez were really the only guys on team worthy of going to pro-bowl. Nobody else has really consistently stood out.Its always hard for 4-3 OLBs to go to Pro-Bowl because the 3-4 OLBs get all the glory with the sack stats....

In some cases yea some players get in on some joke stuff it happens sometimes. Rodgers got snubbed last year and a lot of people were pissed about that.

FalconState Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 I'm glad Tony G made it but i can't believe Eli made it over Stafford or Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atl/0 Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 I'm glad Tony G made it but i can't believe Eli made it over Stafford or RyanStafford is a toss up but look at Eli's numbers and you will see why. Also he has name recognition while Ryan is still a no name to most people across the nation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
