I’m just replying to posts and not saying Tre’ is a bonofied perrenial Pro Bowler 

 

As to 3 bad weeks ...  I’d complain if they were scoring TD after TD on Tre.   

 

Also. The entire team has struggled with INTs. 

 

And I’m not saying he is a bad CB by any means.  I just don’t think he has played at a high level with consistency the past 3 weeks.

Sure.  Easy-peasy.  How big.

 

 

I seem to recall Ramsey getting roasted and toasted

 

He didn’t have the type of season he had last year, but he also hasn’t struggled for 3 weeks straight like White has.  

 

Sorry but at this point Ramsey is on a higher than Tre.

I was shocked White didn't make it, dude has been good, Milano deserved it not sure if his injury impacted it. Hyde, Proyer, Hughes, Kyle, and Lorax were on the bubble could have went either way, but White is a big snub. 

 

Did you watch the last 3 Bills games?  If so, re-watch them.  You’ll see why he didn’t make the Pro Bowl.  

 

The problem with Poyer, Hyde, Alexander, and Kyle is that they played very well but don’t have the big numbers that jump out at you.

Milano was playing lights out...I guess all the big scores they gave at the beginning of the season wiped out their chances.

I don’t think so; think that was Peterman who helped effectively set the defense back.  On the plus side the CFL isn’t touching him.  Although wish we would sign Luke Tasker.

Spackle my friend just a little dab will do you. Are the holes for all the picks that Peterman put out in two seasons?

Overall he has a much better year than White.  He has more INT’s too.  Also, when did Ramsey give up a game changing catch to Robbie Anderson on the last drive of the game?

 

He’s a very good CB.  He is not one of the top 4 in the AFC

LOL. He’s hands down one of the top 4 corners in the league.

Hope they take the rejection as questioning their manhood, get miserably angry & then kick the living ***** out of the Pats

 

I will trade all future pro-bowl appearances for the Bills for one actual, counts-for-something victory against the Pats.

He was an alternate.

 

He played. He was a "pro-bowler."

We are one of three teams that had no pro bowl selections.  I am surprised no one on defense made it.

I was a bit surprised by that, but with White's recent struggles, the team has really no standout (they just play well together). Alexander is probably deserving-- but not surprising he was overlooked.

Of course the defense, despite its statistical ranking, is far from elite (a big need is a strong edge rusher).

Good. 

 

It only makes guys more expensive.

DeCastro and Nelson. Two guards taken in top 10. Don't tell the masses on here but it is perfectly fine to take an interior lineman in the top 10. The only downside is having to purchase playoff tickets.

 

Oh yes.....many experts here decried 'wasting' a first round pick on DeCastro.   Seems like that worked out pretty well for Pittsburgh and their running backs.

DeCastro was taken 26th, and wasn't great for the 1st couple years. He is now, so good pick overall,  but nowhere near Nelson when comparing rookie seasons.

I'm not sure what some fans expected.  The offense is filled with non-NFL caliber players -- even before injuries.  Allen, McCoy, Ivory, Clay, Jones, Dawkins, and maybe Bodine are probably the only bonafide NFLers on offense, and most wouldn't be starters.   Defense has better talent but no truly outstanding much less dominating players.  Except for Hauschka -- who didn't get an opportunity to play in a significant game -- most of the Bills ST shouldn't even be on any NFL roster.

Is this a surprise?  There is not really any elite talent on this roster, like none.  Yeah Milano had a good year before getting hurt, but the linebacker spot is more competitive for purposes of the Pro Bowl.

 

I am still waiting for Brandon Beane to demonstrate some semblance of hope that he can scout and acquire talent.  I haven't seen it.  So far he has assembled one of the least-talented (maybe THE least-talented) roster in the NFL.  It's really easy to orchestrate a tear-down - at some point soon he'll have to show that he can actually build something.  I'm very skeptical.

 

As I said to a buddy the other day - the construction of the Bills' 2018 roster borders on negligent homicide - and I'm the corpse.

The Pouncey twins both made the Pro Bowl,  too.

DeCastro suffered a knee injury in a preseason against the Bills IIRC, so he missed his entire rookie season, but he's been better than any guard the Bills have had during that period except for Incognito.

We're not having the season we had last year so no pub for our guys. Outside of Buffalo fans not many people know the players on our team because of this. I would have thought Milano might have been an alternate or something because he was having a good season. Either way, it really doesn't mean much. Good for Kyle though as he is nearing the end of the line.

I totally agree.  Fans whining about good Bills players being "ignored" by the Pro Bowl selectors obviously don't watch other teams.  The best players on the 2018 would likely be JAGs on any of the current playoff teams in either conferences.  Fans expecting the Bills to become real contenders for the playoffs in 2019 are in for a rude awakening.  Talent counts, and McDermott/Beane haven't shown that they can recognize talent, much less figure out how to acquire it to build a successful NFL roster.

Bull manure.  The Bills that made the Pro Bowl for the Bills last season are either not on the roster or didn't have good years.

Say what you want about Tre'Davious, but there is no way in hell that Stephon Gilmore belongs in the Pro Bowl. If not Tre, somebody else got robbed of that spot.

 

Based on performance in this season alone - he absolutely does. He has been outstanding this season. Not sure how Xavien Howard is ahead of Tre and how are Casey Hayward and Desmond King not there? Maybe they felt the Chargers already had too many representatives and rigged it a bit?

Hmm... Tre White if not there is very close. He is the only one even in a discussion for elite status at his position in my mind. We have some other good players - the safeties, Hughes, Milano.... Lorenzo has had a terrific year too... but none of them are elite or can even have that much of a gripe with missing the pro bowl.

The Bills have the number three defense (3rd aginst the pass, 9th against the rush) (DVOA) yet have no pro bowl representation. White should be in the conversation of elite corners and he and Milano should both be in consideration for the Pro Bowl based on their play through most of the year. However, the competition is tough at their positions and it is not an overwhelming shock they didn't get selected.

 

Personally, the defense's top 5 ranking says more to me about the coaching of McDermott and his staff than it does about elite talent - and I will take that all day, every day.

Need talent to win in this league.

 

They need a lot better offensive talent to take the next step next year. They'll only get so far with JAGs at most positions, even if Allen continues to develop.

 

And they need elite talent up front on defense too. That is a place where we have a lot of solid football players but no difference maker. If you can have a difference maker up front and a top end difference maker at corner the rest of your defense can be solid and JAG types.

 

Obviously on offense they need to be more talented everywhere around Allen really.

My post was to the defense. They have some good young talent (although not elite talent outside of White, IMO) on that side of the ball and the coaching staff did a great job with it. They need to continue to add talent to that side of the ball; however, they need a drastic upgrade of talent on the offensive side of the ball. I do like Allen and I think he definitely has a chance to be the franchise QB this team has been looking for. They need to surround him with the talent he needs to prove he can be that QB.

 

I also like what Daboll has shown me over the last 4-5 weeks. I would like to see what he can do with more talent.

 

I'm pretty optimistic at this point.

Poyer, Hauscka, and White. Downside of playing in Buffalo.

 

More the downside of the team being 5-9. Poyer didn't come on until the back half of the season, Hauschka hasn't been as good compared to last year, and White getting beat 3x straight weeks especially Jets/Lions is not how you help your probowl candidacy as voting concludes.

 

Truthfully only Kyle Williams belongs the rest I just think needed to be more consistent. Had Milano been healthy he deserved to go.

The Pro Bowl is kind of like the Puppy Bowl anyhow. No one really plays with much effort. No one wants to risk injury. Personally, I think they should use it to honor players and actually invite college prospects to come show their stuff! Now THAT would be worth watching.

Well, with the #2 defense in all of football you can understand why they are one of 3 teams to have no pro-bowl selections.

 

...said anyone who is a moron.

That does seem right Donuts, after all, they are not currently #1, for shame on them...

We have the best record of any team in the NFL without a pro-bowler and 7 teams in the League that have our same record or worse have a pro-bowler.

 

We are the Mr. Cellophane of the nfl!
