shoretalk Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 I have no idea why I'm watching this.........but I'm regretting it. Is Byrd there at all? Unless he is in the stands watching the game he isn't there ... his recovery from surgery has kept him out of the game. Thank goodness I am not watching the NFL's shining moment of embarassment that just needs to be pushed into history. The players named to the Pro Bowl get their by popularity with their peers or fans and then they have nothing to really play for since the AFC-NFC rivalry puts the word rivalry to shame. If they insist on a game maybe we should have a college all-star team play the NFL players at least then I would think the players would have enough pride to try to make it a game.

Rust Belt Nights Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 or go real old-school and have an NFL all star team play the super bowl champions... that would be awesome! but also... injuries could be a concern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobillsinytown Posted February 1, 2010 Author Share Posted February 1, 2010 Continuing the brutality is Gruden trying to make this sound like it's some sort of marquee matchup. So far I haven't seen anything other than touch football in pads. At least in previous years they could cut to shots of Hawaii's scenery and beach babes.

zow2 Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 I don't see what the big deal is? why the hate? It's not like you or me are inconvenienced by it. It's an exhibition game that gives us one more week to watch the uniforms. Plus it's kinda cool to hear the plays called in the huddle. No one is forcing you to watch. Personally i like this game 1 week before the SB. It seems like the kickoff for SB week and when the SB is over...i prefer that the season is totally over. I don't need to see the SB participants in this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Got_Wood Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 This is the biggest joke of a game I've ever seen. No one wants to hurt each other, so no one is trying. Is this what the NFL wants? A bunch of divas worried more about their paychecks than actually playing a game??? Either the NFL needs to put something on the line to give these overpaid prima donnas to play hard, or just cancel the game. It's embarassing for the league. The channel was changed after 5 minutes of this garbage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 I have no problem with the game. But, I absoluely hate that they moved it to this week. First you're missing a lot of starters. But, most importantly for me at least, the Pro Bowl has become a light hearted end to the season. I'd watch the weekend activities - all the stupid competitions they had. Then you see an fun game where players were just out having a little fun. It's fun. It's not supposed to be a real game with hard hits, blitzes, and the like. My advice, just sit back and enjoy it for what it is... a final chance to watch some of your favorite players have some fun. Of course that's harder to do when no Bills make it there. But it is what it is. Have a beer and relax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 I read today that the NFL says the move has worked because: - the game sold out - they expect higher ratings Propoganda, I hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acantha Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 I turned it on just after halftime. So far all I'm seeing is guys slowly weave their way up the field while defenders try to miss tackles. And is that actually David Gerrard playing QB right now? Wow...

Endzone Animal Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 the stands don't look full to me...and its on ESPN, which isn't available to people that don't have cable... the NFL is full of sh** I went to the game...absolute full house. Thinned out a bit after halftime, but jam-packed until then. Attendance was over 70,000. BTW, what rock are you living under that you don't get ESPN?

Fan in San Diego Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 They should just announce who made the all-pro team and then not play the game. No one wants to get hurt so why bother. Give them the honors of being named, get paid and leave it alone at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chandler#81 Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 All but MLB play a watered down, minimize injuiries, high scoring affair. NBA A-S game usually comes close to 300 points. NHL A-S game usually has approx. 17 goals. Both try not to injure each other but they draw like crazy. I think we've just come to expect too much out of NFLer's -ie. pass rush, chase a guy down, lay out a WR. This is one game a watered down version doesn't transfer well to. JMO.
