Donuts and Doritos Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 This might be the most entertaining Pro Bowl ever, in a car crash kind of way, it's awful but you can't pull your eyes away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerome007 Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 As a fan I would have watched it with Josh there. Plus he meets other top players, and of course he's there with some teammates, to lower the sting of the sour ending. 3 hours ago, Big Turk said: Trevor Lawrence should be the replacement.

Warcodered Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 So does this mean Josh is still a 1 time Pro Bowler? The one time being the year there wasn't a Pro Bowl so there wasn't a reason for him to opt out. 😠Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah John Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 I think the NFL must be contacting potential replacement players to see if they'll agree to show up, before announcing their names.   Saffold and Huntley must have been the only guys who answered the phone. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhgold Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Someone might have already pointed this out, but of the 32 Bills players ranked by Joe Buscaglia for The Athletic, Saffold has the lowest grade for the season, D+. Saffold's weekly grade was also regularly at or near the bottom. Â It bears repeating: The Pro Bowl, what a joke. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pro bowl is a joke. The flag version is even worse. No one gives a crap attending this embarrassing league event. Just announce your end of season pro bowl awards. Let these guys shut it down.

Buffalosouth Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Good for Huntley. He will have Pro Bowl QB before his name which is a accomplishment and a nice recognition.  Nobody cares about the pro bowl right? Shouldnt it just be like 'Rock and Jock'? Get celebrities, musicians and league stars have them all play to promote the game for kids or just for ad revenue.  Dpoy, Opoy, MVP are the highest person awards you can win right? Pro Bowls go next man up when the best are getting rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Hindsight Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 So the AFC pro bowl QBs are Lawrence (ok), Carr (Benched by his own team and went home the rest of the year) and Snoop Huntly (started 4 games)  Like i get that it doesn't mean much, but that is digging down into the QB room.  Case Keenum was about 4 calls away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Source: I am a golfer and I occasionally throw a football. Highly doubtful, unless you have a horrible swing. The right elbow in golf does bend, but it should be a gentler motion than throwing a football. The left elbow feels more of the impact when taking a divot. A good golf swing should be smooth, generating power from your wrists unhinging rather than trying to swing hard. If you are trying to generate power by trying to swing really hard, chances are you suck. Josh is definitely an ok golfer and I bet he’ll end up scratch at some point.  source: I play 75 or so rounds a year (currently a 7 hcp) and occasionally throw a football. So not scratch, a teacher, or a pro, but have a pretty good idea of the swing we’re all chasing.  After last year, some time away from football is a good thing. And to play pebble beach instead of a bunch of stupid games? No brainer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eball Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Josh has frequently said that his favorite thing to do (besides QB the Bills) is play golf, and he would play every day if he could. It is not at all surprising he would snub the stupid "Pro Bowl Games" to play in the Pebble Beach Pro-Am.  But Huntley? That's just embarrassing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
