gcb34 Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Yeah like any team in the Super Bowl that has players in the pro bowl won't be playing I can tell you that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cantankerous Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Well duhhhhhhh. They're trying to make the game watchable...most people don't give a crap after the Super Bowl is over. Of course super bowl bound players won't be playing in it...I kinda like the idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Picnic Table F'er Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Pro bowl should be in like June, when most of us are desperate for any sort of football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ofiba Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Yeah like any team in the Super Bowl that has players in the pro bowl won't be playing I can tell you that much. Don't most super bowl players skip the game anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a game I care much about, but moving it to the week between the Championships and the SB makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K-No Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Pro bowl should be in like June, when most of us are desperate for any sort of football. Waaay back when...In early summer, some good college team or upcoming senior all-star team (can't remember) played an NFL team in a game. Gee if they did that now and it was the Bills playing, Ralph would fire Dick by half time and die of a heart attack himself as the Bills lost.

Stenbar Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 I think its a great idea..More players will probably play..It fills the void between championship week and the Superbowl..It reduces expenses in a down economy, I think it will be a decent turnout also..

Tom Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 I think it's an excellent idea & felt it should've been this wall all along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nucci Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 It's a stupid idea. If the Colts play in the SB, does Manning just get replaced? Pro Bowl is supposed to be about the star players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steely Dan Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Yeah like any team in the Super Bowl that has players in the pro bowl won't be playing I can tell you that much. IMO, this is really stupid. All of the SB players are going to duck out and a lot of the Championship players are gonna duck out too. It's not gonna be the pro-bowl it's going to be a game of above average players. Instead rig up a Madden type computer game and have each player play themselves in it. It would probably be more entertaining. It will be interesting to see how many pro-bowl winning players this year are also SB players and Championship players. Another idea is instead of the PB have the worst team that year play the #1 college team. That would get ratings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of stars.... Rivers, Cassell, Penny, etc..... the Superbowl teams don't need to be involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiderweb Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 The pro bowl is a game that has never interested me and never will. Sure I've watched a few minutes of it from time to time, but if I have anything (and I mean anything at all) to do or needs to be done.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bufcomments Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 The Pro bowl should be the Hall of fame game every year that way the stars of today can chat with the Hall of Famers and get some true history of the game Just a thought......

extrahammer Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Either way they shouldn't move it out of Hawaii. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bufcomments Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Either way they shouldn't move it out of Hawaii. combine the Hall of Fame Weekend with the Pro bowl I sure the old timers would love the thought of going to Hawaii There would be much more interest in the game if you make it an all weekend event and the players except the injured one swould be more likely to come out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RayFinkle Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Within the next couple of years, I guarantee the winner of the Probowl will get to be the home team at the Superbowl. Try to give some meaning to the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
