IDBillzFan Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 The Pro Bowl is a big-name popularity contest. People like Jason Peters won't get in for a while, and even then the team will need to be winning more and playing in more primetime games. Outside of Bills fans and a few reporters/critics/NFL talking heads, you can count the number of people who know Jason Peters on the hand of a bad woodshop teacher.

RuntheDamnBall Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Peters will probably get in when his reputation precedes him, as with these guys who made it this year, Ruben Brown, and a host of others. For OLs and other positions where stats don't tell the story, selections often occur when guys are past the years in which they truly excelled.

He's a RT. And fact of life....0.500 or below teams' club members seldom get consideration. I know that flies in the face of today's Honor Rolls by quota, or multiple Valedictorians, but there it is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lori Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Updated team rankings: Bills 31st in total yardage, 28th in yards per play, 31st in sacks/pass attempt. Can't say I'm all that surprised that nobody from the offense made it, although I'll be curious to see where Evans ended up on the WR list...

ajzepp Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Even as a die hard Bills fan, I think selecting Peters to the pro bowl this year would cheapen my view of it. It would sort of be like voting in Tony Romo after only eight or nine games....oh, wait.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tortured Soul Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 It will be hard for Peters to break through, because even has the Bills start winning and Jon Ogden fades into the limelight, Marcus McNeil looks like he will take his place as the annual selection.

ganesh Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 If I remember vaguely the voting is 1/3rd fans, 1/3rd players and 1/3rd coaches around the league. Peters, to be recognized outside the teams he played this year will require the bills to play national games....We did not play in any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The closest would be Romo, who has scored lots of touchdowns. McNabbs season was cut short to 1/2 season, so he cannot count. Bulger has had a Ok season and his team has taken a beating in the last 4 weeks. Remember, people tend to remember the last 4 weeks before the pro-bowl announcement than the entire season or the 1st 4/5 weeks of the season. It is the nature of the beast.

McNabbs season was cut short to 1/2 season, so he cannot count.....872681[/snapback] Actually up to this week, McNabb had started & completed 1 more game(9) than Romo(8) and has thrown for 2 more TDs(plus 3 more on the ground) and 4 less INTs. I'm not trying to make an argument for McNabb.....simply showing how astounding it is(when you consider McNabb) that Romo got the probowl selection.
