The 2015 Pro Bowl Thread

[VolsSportsFan]

So....yah Pro Bowl? Considering it's the 4th quarter when I started this thread, I guess that shows how many are watching it here.

Im kinda watching it, it seems to be an entertaining game.

 

[Notorious B.E.N]

Oh and Beckham is incredible.

 

[Deputy Fife]

Do what?

I started watching in the 4Q. Cris Carter can't feel good that the win hinges on Andy Dalton driving the field.

 

[95 Vol Alum]

And he throws a duck on 4th and 10.

 

[YankeeVol]

They still have a Pro Bowl?

They pretty much have to, for contract-negotiation reasons (and maybe HOF related stuff).

 

[VolsNSkinsFan]

I watched a few minutes of it. They weren't even running hard or trying to tackle hard. It was like watching a glorified practice

 

[BenGrimm]

Turned it on for about 5 min in 2nd Q. The players seemed uninterested. Then seeing Micheal Irvin and Chris Carter as "coaches" that were talking to the guys in the booth in game had very XFL feel to it.

The NFL needs to cancel the Pro Bowl permanently

Players and the players union would never let them (even if a chunk don't even show).

Why? It makes money and it's ratings, while down, are still usually better than any other all-star game and even most playoff games of MLB and the NBA.

I would change it back to AFC vs. NFC and move it back to after the Super Bowl.

Yeah I agree that it would be better to move it after the Super Bowl. They would have a better group of players available.

Doesn't it take a little away from a fringe player's pro bowl appearance knowing they were only there because they were an alternate for the guy in the Super Bowl?

The Pro Bowl needs to go back to the way it used to be when there was a rule that every team in the NFL had at least one player in the game.

I think so. But with the game currently formatted, it doesn't really matter.

Burn the Pro Bowl and bring back the skills challenges.

I doubt many more people would watch that, either, honestly.

I'd watch it.

Probably not, but for me that would be a lot more entertaining than the Pro Bowl.

Most definitely
