Yep, Cousins was a big snub.

Cousins is playing far better than Rodgers.
As if anyone still thinks the Pro Bowl is about who’s played the best this season

Cousins is never getting in over Rodgers.
Well done, but nobody does. That doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be though, which is why we’re posting about it.As if anyone still thinks the Pro Bowl is about who’s played the best this season
Bakhtiari is an even worse pick than Rodgers by a long way anyway. Where as a case could possibly be made for the QB, as above, Bakhtiari has had a really poor season.
The average Pro Bowl voter knows a bit about how well their team (by which I mean ‘offence’) is playing & almost nothing about anything else, beyond what they hear on the telly/internet.
O-line, defence & special teams voting in particular is all about whether a player has a lot of stats & a well know name.
Yes we are aware how it works but for such a big honour it needs a big change.
You’ve probably actually watched the Packers each week though. Most people just know that he’s highly rated on Madden & people say he’s one of the best LTs, so they figure they should probably just vote for him.
Also, he chugged a beer good & he wears 69, so that probably got him a decent chunk of votes.
It's all about the name.
Matthew Slater made the Pro Bowl one year in which he missed about half the games.
When I’m calling it a joke I’m not saying I expected it to be any different. I’m just calling it a joke, which it is.
I’ve not seen the roster aside from the QBs & half the Baltimore starters, but I’d assume Tyron Smith (plus Zack Martin & Travis Frederick), Terron Armstead & at least one of the SF tackles also made the team.
I bet half the Steelers line made it in too - Pouncey is one of the ones who’s usually highlighted for racking up Pro Bowls while playing like shit.
Isn't the Pro Bowl voting much the same as the Emmy vote for television, where once you've been once you need to have an egregiously crap year to not keep going as long as you're around?
On this page alone there's almost 4 different ways to phrase "the Pro Bowl is a popularity contest" and quite frankly it is quite the accomplishment.
Funnily enough, only Pouncey made it in, all while getting himself a suspension and serving up shitty snap after shitty snap. Our O-line has really regressed this year, with Munchak moving to Denver, and it's shown in the lack of running game especially.
This Bahamas Bowl is the most dire thing I’ve seen in a good while.
Joe Thomas (I think that’s who they said it was) is nauseating.
Also, is that all the crowds the Bucs pull now?
Their season is corked and it’s close to Xmas.
And jameis is throwing picks galore.
Forgot about Saturday football, ugh.
Another pick 6. Probably going to end up just being an INT.
Cracking start by the Bucs.
That's horseshit from the refs.
Did they not rule that a fumble? (I’ve no sound on). And why no challenge?
No fumble and they ruled that his forward progress was stopped so the Bucs couldn't challenge.
Winston could have had a TD twice there but overthrew it massively.
It’s worse he’s getting.
This game is batshit.
Winston
Brady is immune to intentional grounding.
O-Lineman passing TD
Baker Mayfield is a spineless little turd.
None of these seem too concerned with draft order.
Bengals can't even secure the top draft pick correctly.
Fuck the Cowboys.
Wow, Denver played a second half where we didn't have -20 net points.
Lads, I'm changing my allegiance.
I'm now a Providence Steamrollers fan.

It was close between them and the Tonawanda Kardex Lumbermen.
Adam Gase has apparently been heard admitting privately that he doesn't care about the Jets fans or their criticism because "I'm rich as fuck."
He’s right, to be fair.
With the season essentially over, shall we get our teams of the season/all-pro teams done? Pick as follows:
QB x3
RB x4
FB x1
WR x5
TE x3
OT x4
G x3
C x2
Utility player/FLEX slot x2
-
Interior D-line (3-4 NT & DE, 4-3 DT) x4
EDGE rusher x 4
LB x4
CB x5
S x3
Defensive utility/FLEX x2
-
Kicker x1
Punter x1
Returner x1
Special team utility/flex x1
Should give you a full 53 person roster, handily enough.
What is FLEX?
Basically a choice of any of the above.
Yeah, sorry, meant to include that but I’m on my phone on the way home so missed it. The special teams ones also includes the guys on the kick coverage/block teams.
I’ll post my list in a bit - I found it hard to come up with enough QB & WRs, to be honest
So, err...we’re working out AB (and Maurice Harris) today
Signing AB would be worth it. Have him immediately placed on the exempt list and watch him melt down on Twitter.
Michael Thomas, AB, Josh Gordon & Dez
Can Brown even play, or are they looking at next season?
He's free to play now, but will likely be immediately put on the exempt list and be put under NFL investigation as soon as he signs somewhere.
Him actually playing for the Saints is about the only thing you’d think could possibly stop Baltimore at this stage.
He's only had 1 or 2 good games against us in the countless we've played. Jimmy Smith and/or Marlon Humphrey silence him, IIRC the only good games he's had against us is when both of those have been injured/suspended.
Our defence is more susceptible to running back screens and getting beat deep by fast receivers. The Chiefs are the biggest threats and that's how they managed to beat us earlier this year. Although it was in Kansas and our defence was a shambles then.
It's not quite in the bag yet.
The Ravens will likely have to beat both the Chiefs and Patriots. Chiefs already beat them once and you never write off the Patriots. Then you're likely looking at one of the Saints, 49ers or Seahawks.
I think they'd take the Seahawks, but their earlier matchup against the 49ers went down to 1 kick at the death.
Obviously he’s not going to have to beat you on his own. I’m factoring the rest of the Saints offense into this too.
