FalconsfaninTORONTO Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Wow. Not 1 player on a D who has made big plays all year voted to the Pro Bowl. Think W. Moore's injuries cost him but no decoud?! That's insane. Hope this lights a fire for the playoffs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Wall Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Insane. Matthews doesn't deserve ot hasn't played much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconsfaninTORONTO Posted December 27, 2012 Author Share Posted December 27, 2012 Spoon deserves a spot too. But in a way, shows how much Nolan does w/o a "Marquee" defensive player. It won't make a difference, no falcons will be attending the game in Hawaii. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leftfield Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Hopefully it will used as a stimulus by our D to go forth and punish those we come up against!Media bias and crap stats - 13 passes for TD all season LMFAO yet 19 th Defense with a 13-2 recordBring home the Lombardi !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

slamee101 Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 I don't even think you can say it was Spoon's injury that cost him when you have a guy like Matthews gettting in. We just don't have the household names (yet).Nobody was more disrespected than DeCoud though. Had a better year than Thomas and Goldson.Moore had a better year than Whitner as well, but like Goldson his a part of that SF D that the talking heads are in love with.JPP got in off name. Great player but shouldn't have made it over a few guys including Abe.Hopefully it just gets the team even more jacked up to bust heads in the playoffs. I really expected DeCoud to be there though.

sun3nee Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 wow Roddy got snubbed HARD!!! As Falcon fans, we all know Roddy is the true #1 on this team and has made more plays than Julio this year. As a post said earlier, they are probably trying to create tension in our locker room, esp knowing how Roddy has embraced Julio with open arms. I hope our locker room is stronger than that. All household names made it. There are many other 'no names' that should've made it over these clowns. The NFL Pro Bowl has officially turned into the NBA All Star game. Soon players won't have to play a season and can still make it X_X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aftermath Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 can't believe DeCoud didn't get in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuggle'2 Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Another reason why the whole thing is a sham. Maybe they'll use it as motivation in the playoffs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leftfield Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 IF they change it as mooted then it should be an in house vote players and coaches voting only 1 caveat you cant vote for anyone on your own team.This way you are elevated by your peers, lets face it these guys should know who is ballin out there and who aint all that!

g-dawg Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 its almost impossible for a 4-3 OLB to make pro-bowl because they are judging him against 3-4 OLBs with more gaudy sack totals.The player that really got jobbed on defense is Thomas DeCoud. He should be on the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattyicefalcon Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 to not give RODDY / ABE that respect is a BIG SLAP on our franchise!anyway, they will be busy preparing for Superbowl so they will get their recognition infront of the whole world!I cant wait for the playoffs to get started!!!!

trudweathers Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 The 1 guy on the defense that deserves the credit is Mike Nolan. He is a frickin' magician. That said, I hope this motivates some of the defensive players to show out in the postseason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbird84 Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 I know as fans we know all the players we see all the plays but to others we don't have household names like alot of other teams. Heck most Tampa Bay fans that I talk to who've watched our rivalry since the NFCS inception can't name the first person on our defense outside of John Abraham and have the perception that our D is trash. When you don't ever watch a team play or at the very least watch the coverage of them then you won't know anything about them. People still think we're running the ball with Turner 20+ times a game. Most NFL fans are casual fans but I been here the whole way and think we deserve better than this I was pretty shocked there weren't more Falcons on there I voted for them. Hopefully none of our players will be in probowl cos we'll be playing in Superbowl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knight of God Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Pro Bowl is a bunch of know-it-all fans who vote. Its a popularity contest and not a symbol of skills.Nolan has made some huge changes on or defense. Good stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HASHBROWN3 Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Whenever people vote in a popularity contest, expect it to be just that... a pathetic popularity contest. I like the NBA analogy... talk about a joke... Any thinking man understands a few of our guys got ripped... That's OK fellas, we got ur back...Why do we get all worked up every year anyways.

Realsurfin Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 The Falcons need to mop the floor with a couple of teams.. They need to dominate and embarass like they did to the Giants.. we need to run up the points.. no gentilmen football... just stomp them and stomp them hard.FALCONS NEED TO BE THE PREDATOR NOT THE PREY AND SHOW IT IN EVERY GAME WE CAN.It is time to get some respect... but better than respect, WE NEED TEAMS TO FEAR US. WE NEED THEM TO THINK IN THEIR MIND THAT IT WOULD BE A MIRACLE IF THEY COULD BEAT US!GoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooFALCONZ!
