Rocky52Mc Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Per the official Pro Bowl roster via NFL.com http://www.nfl.com/probowl/story/09000d5d82578253/article/2012-pro-bowl-rosters?module=HP11_breaking_news This has to be the biggest sham I've seen in such a long time. Fletcher not making the probowl this year is a bigger issue then Fletcher not making it for the majority of his career. Total - absolute- jokish -popularity contest. Brian Urlacher - 92 tackles, 3 Interceptions. London Fletcher - 163 tackles, 2 sacks, 2 Interceptions, 3 Forced Fumbles There's no reason whatsoever that Fletcher doesn't get the credit he officially deserves year in and year out. A partial fan vote, accompanied by the votes of his peers and the media would equate to him making it in. Do they feel he's got his dues the past 2 years? He plays at such an intense level it's ridiculous. He's the reason this defense operates. 5-10,1-15,0-16, it doesn't MATTER. He deserves the nod on this one, and it's a joke. Urlacher opting out or Willis getting injured doesn't make up for this mistake. To add on to this there's also no Redskins in general on this list. I believe 28/32 teams made the cut, and we're 4 out of 32 that didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkinsCrushCowboys Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 What a shame....he should be there period. Yet another ill defect of playing on a crappy team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushwack Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 The Pro Bowl is all about names, not actual production. Fletcher got screwed at MLB from the NFC and D'Qwell Jackson got screwed from the AFC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinfan2k Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Besides London, who else has a shot really? Darrell Young? Ryan Kerrigan? thats about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zzj Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 He's probably the only player on our team that deserved to go. But he DEFINITELY deserved to go. He'd better be first alternate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunburn Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 I'd like to say congrats to Carlos Rogers. It's amazing what you can do when you start actually catching interceptions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpt.Chaos47 Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 This is why fans shouldn't be allowed to vote or should have to take a damn football IQ test to be able to vote. Brian Urlacher wasn't spectacular at all this year neither was Lance Briggs. Most fans that vote don't know jack about the game. The Pro Bowl is such a joke and until they eliminate bull**** like this it will continue to be so. The NFL should be embarrassed that London isn't on this roster.

Jumbo Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 I have a pretty negative regard for the Pro Bowl. With very rare exceptions of topic, I don't understand why it's ever a part of any serious football conversation. I wish we didn't play the game. I've felt the way for quite awhile.

Rabsuz Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 No Orakpo? Kerrigan? Sleepy? FLETCHER, the man that leads the entire league in tackles? No one on the D Line? It's a joke that Fletcher didn't get in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeluCopter29 Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 I don't even care about the pro bowl anymore. I'm more interested in All-Pro teams who are made by professionals, not ballot box stuffing fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MumboSauce Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Well if that doesn't confirm the joke and farce that is the pro bowl I don't know what does. London flat out gets it done and hasn't slowed down a bit. agree with Helu...let's check the all pro, screw the pro bowl. won't even watch it.

skinsfan190 Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 I just knew he was getting in this time. Just unbelievable. What else does a man have to do. This guy is fringe HOF and he has never gotten his due. Just watch the guys and see who jumps out dominating making play after play. Man handling offensive lineman. Covering 20,30 yards downfield, laying people out over the middle. I remember when we went to a 3-4, so called journalist and experts digged his grave and said he couldn't make the transition. Yeah right. Man is a freak of nature and an amazing leader. We are lucky to have him. the Pro Bowl is a joke. I just want him to get the notice and appreciation he deserves cause he is that good. HOF caliber imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
authentic Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 not surprised. Let them have it... I'm more concerned about 1. Them signing him back, and 2. getting the right pieces via FA and the draft. I'm in offseason mode right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocky52Mc Posted December 28, 2011 Author Share Posted December 28, 2011 Guys, let's not forget what happens at the Pro-Bowl:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJC_lgAuDAg You gotta love in that video that Fletcher is actually one of the only guys on the field attempting to do something other then Darnell Dockett who completely screws up.

@DCGoldPants Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 I read the fans have voted Yao Ming and Grant Hill as Probowl starters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fifthorkid88 Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Nobody care about the Pro Bowl anyway. The players don't give 100% and just try not to get hurt. No defense is ever played. Can't get upset about this, the all-pro team is what counts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runs with Scissors Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 I don't watch it anyway,so don't really care if any Skins ever get in. Players don't want to play in it,they want the bonus(if they have one)for being selected. I'm sure many players will back out,and Fletcher will get to go.Hope he doesn't tear his knee up.

Can't get upset about this, the all-pro team is what counts. Don't players have bonuses attached to probowls? I'd certainly say some care. That said I don't think it should exist. It's clearly a farce, and a pageant. BTW we're the only team other then the Rams to not have a Probowl player this year... In the NFC anyways.
