Re: Not a Single Saint Made the ProBowl
 

Not a shocker really.

Re: Not a Single Saint Made the ProBowl
 

I'm sorry but that is a slap in the face for Brees.

Glad I don't watch the Pro Bowl anymore.

Re: Not a Single Saint Made the ProBowl
 

Its a fan voted thing and the two stinkers he posted in fantasy playoff weeks didnt help his case any. The teams record hold him back right or wrong it just does.

Re: Not a Single Saint Made the ProBowl
 

The pro bowl lost all its relevancy as soon as they started having the fans vote for it. So many fans doesn't know Jack sh**.

Re: Not a Single Saint Made the ProBowl
 

The pro bowl has become nothing more than a very poor carnival game at very best.....I'd rather watch paint dry and not have any one get hurt.

Re: Not a Single Saint Made the ProBowl
 

It's turned out to be a Joke.

Re: Not a Single Saint Made the ProBowl
 

Brees and Jordan will make it due to a player dropping out cause the playoffs. Certainly for Brees, pro bowl is only good for recognition and for contracts purposes only. If anything I am happy no one from the saints made the pro bowl, with our luck we would probably lose them for the 2017 season before it begins

Re: Not a Single Saint Made the ProBowl
 

Zach Strief is the only Saints player that should have made it for sure, can absolutely put up a strong case for Cam Jordan and Brandin Cooks. Brees will probably go when Rodgers or Ryan gets their feelings hurt about getting knocked out of the playoffs.

Re: Not a Single Saint Made the ProBowl
 

Some pretty good players on the list.

Re: Not a Single Saint Made the ProBowl
 

NO SAINT PLAYER ON THE #1 RANKED OFFENSE MAKES THE PRO BOWL!!!!

WHY YOU MAY ASK?

THE SAINTS SUCCESS IS DUE TO THE ENTIRE OFFENSE WORKING AS A UNIT

#1 offense in the NFL gets snubbed lmao

Re: Not a Single Saint Made the ProBowl
 

Thought Fairley would of made it but yea its a popularity contest now just like the nba all star voting. Big market teams are gonna get their people in.

Re: Not a Single Saint Made the ProBowl
 

The Saints right now are not very good.

Re: Not a Single Saint Made the ProBowl
 

maybe if we didn't **** the bed verse detroit and tampa it would be different, but you can't have your offense not show up for your two most important games of the season

Re: Not a Single Saint Made the ProBowl
 

This is true. Those were brutal. And Brees was awful in those two games. The offense was awful. Ick.... Everything was awful.

Re: Not a Single Saint Made the ProBowl
 

FWIW, I thought Kuhn was Pro Bowl worthy.

He had a very good year.

Re: Not a Single Saint Made the ProBowl
 

Did JJ Watt make it?

Re: Not a Single Saint Made the ProBowl
 

Yup, and I'd add to that losing to Atlanta and Carolina in prime time...anybody outside the market who saw the Saints this year on TV, saw the same thing we all pretty much saw....not a very good team. Most of the time the Saints were on prime time TV this year, they not only lost, but they trailed and were behind on the scoreboard for almost the entire game....

Re: Not a Single Saint Made the ProBowl
 

I'll bet the Green Bay fans didn't vote for Kuhn.

Early on I thought that Brees and Cam would get in but then I was thinking that Laurinitis would be a shoe in for the pro bowl. Boy was I wrong.......I'm still spitting out feathers from that one.:p

The problem with this team is we don't have enough proven talent anywhere other than quarterback. Next year our young team will have more experience and hopefully can play as a cohesive unit next year. We do have extra money to bring in some young hungry vets and six draft picks I think.

Re: Not a Single Saint Made the ProBowl
 

The pro bowl is like the NFLs info-mercial. I'd rather watch Tony Robins. He's motivational.

Re: Not a Single Saint Made the ProBowl
 

Tony Robbins rocks. That man is who the Saints need to bring in to motivate the team. It might not hurt for Payton to sit in either. He seems to lack motivation these days.

Re: Not a Single Saint Made the ProBowl
 

Since I was much younger, whenever Tony is on I put the remote down. I'm so ashamed. LOL

Re: Not a Single Saint Made the ProBowl
 

The water boy should've made it. He's the only one that's been doing his job all season!

Re: Not a Single Saint Made the ProBowl
 

How is it a slap in the face? Casual NFC fans don't care about stats. Brees' stats are not being talked about to the open public. How did Brees do against the lions and bucs? How did Brees do late against the raiders? How does Brees often respond to the other team scoring touchdowns early in games.

I'm not calling Brees elite now with how he's played this year. One good game against the cardinals does not make up for his early game flaws and complete flaws. The saints didn't want to run the ball enough to help them win the last two games.

I would be disappointed any other year but this year I'm not.

Re: Not a Single Saint Made the ProBowl
 

At the end of the day, if your team isn't winning (see Saints) stats don't really matter.

Re: Not a Single Saint Made the ProBowl
 

I thought that Nick Fairley clearly had a pro bowl season. He's been consistently in the backfield this year. I was hoping he would be solid when we signed him, but instead he finally started living up to his draft hype. I don't care how many sacks he has, either. He did the job that elite DT's are supposed to do.

Brees not making it isn't shocking to me, but a little surprising. The yardage and TD's say he belongs in. But he's turned the ball over in bunches and the team has not been very good. It's a political world, even in sports. I knew he had the numbers to get the nod, but I stopped paying much attention to individual accolades when it became apparent, years ago, that more emphasis was placed on superficial factors.

The Saints have been losing for too long and Brees has, at least for now, lost his "winner" status. Good players on bad teams can sometimes make it if they play at a less sexy position. At least that has been my observation.

Re: Not a Single Saint Made the ProBowl
 

I really surprized our ST unit didn't have all those studs names called.Really, really suprising.

Re: Not a Single Saint Made the ProBowl
 

Is Brees fourth in voting over someone like Cousins?

Re: Not a Single Saint Made the ProBowl
 

Btw regarding the browns probowler..........was that Terrelle Pryor? If it was, it was a comeback story for someone who transitioned from qb to wr and did it successfully. Up until RgBust came back, he was the defacto number 1 receiver.

Re: Not a Single Saint Made the ProBowl
 

It was Joe Thomas.

Re: Not a Single Saint Made the ProBowl
 

Re: Not a Single Saint Made the ProBowl
 

Dude are you nuts? I agree he had a couple bad games. So did Rodgers and every other QB. I'm not going to argue that he shouldn't make it but that's because of their record. But he leads the NFC in yards, TDs and completion percentage. If you don't call him elite, then you're going to be very disappointed when he retires and we have a mediocre QB. No offense Will but you sound like a Saints fan that became a fan in the last 10 years.

If you're going to knock him for his poor performances then you should give credit for his good ones too. Otherwise you just seem cynical and illogical.

Re: Not a Single Saint Made the ProBowl
 

Re: Not a Single Saint Made the ProBowl
 

I became a full-fledged fan in 2006(started to become one in 2004) so you're right.

Stafford is not elite. You don't let a qb like him beat you. And you will see why when Rodgers goes into Detroit week 17 and wins. You don't keep losing to a bucs team we held to 16 points when the defense gives you every opportunity to put a drive together.

If Brees is elite then Payton's the problem for saving his best years for years they can win everywhere and not just one side. That's not what winners do. The QB always comes first especially if we're gonna compare him to Brady. We've had something wrong on the offense each year.

Re: Not a Single Saint Made the ProBowl
 

My mavericks have not been winning for years like they should but instead of quitting I just don't invest in them right now. But at least I can see they have a reason for losing. Players don't want to play for them even when they had the money to afford them. Look what Deandre Howard and Blake Griffin did to them in 2014? That's as cruel as it gets in a sport like that. I only followe NBA for DFS purposes. The saints are not the mavs.

Mavericks? Reason for losing? Blake Griffin in 2014?? What do they have to do with the Saints and the topic of the Pro Bowl?

Will, you are all over the place.

Re: Not a Single Saint Made the ProBowl
 

I am just saying that the mavs are in a no-win situation other than tanking for a high draft pick(but Dirk will take them to a 8 seed watch). Basically I meant DeAndre Jordan. He was about to sign with Dallas and then decided not to. Blake posted a twitter pic of a chair blocking a door which was directed at us.

The point I am making is the saints have taken the hard way out trying to get back to winning where compared to the mavs the saints actions frustrate me more.

Re: Not a Single Saint Made the ProBowl
 

Hey Will, Rodgers had several bad games in a row earlier this season and several fans and media were all asking "what's wrong with Rodgers?".

My point here is, that Brees is an elite QB. His numbers prove that. Yes he's had some bad games, but dude you can't say he's "not elite" because he had a few bad games. But your opinion is just that, yours. And I respect your right to have it, I just don't agree...At all. And I'm sure you don't agree with mine. You just seem to want to fire everyone.

Re: Not a Single Saint Made the ProBowl
 

You have just brought logic into a popularity fight sir! There is no hope for you now!

The Pro Bowl is a combination of voting for the flavor of the month combined with voting for contant favorites regardless of performance. Brees is neither. So what if he finishes with 5000 yards and 40+ TDs?
To the fans he has the same flavor as old chewing gum.

SFIAH

Re: Not a Single Saint Made the ProBowl
 

I think its become more about WINNING. Your individual accomplishments get you a pay check but no pro bowl invites for you! You want people to care about you then the team has to win.
