Fan voting for the Pro Bowl's now over, and all of you can take a bow -- the Cowboys absolutely dominated the NFC end of things. Dallas players won balloting at nine of 19 positions, and 20 starters (Kyle Kosier and Jacques Reeves/Anthony Henry being the exceptions) appeared in the Top 5 at their spots.

The team is represented in the top five at all 19 positions. Heck, Tyson Thompson -- who hasn't dressed for a game since Oct. 21 -- is the fourth-leading vote getter among kick returners. Tony Romo (4th), Terrell Owens (7th), Jason Witten (11th) and Marion Barber (12th) were among the dozen who garnered the most love league-wide.

This vote will account for one-third of the final tally. Another third belongs to players, and the final third goes to the coaches. Both those groups will vote on Thursday and Friday, with results coming out next week.

So here's the leaders at each NFC position, along with any additional Cowboys in the Top 5 in their categories:

That's 23 Cowboys in the top 5 at their position.

 

[nathanlt]

It looks like our entire O-line is going to the Pro-Bowl... We'll see!

 

[Cowboys22]

By my count, thats 15-16 that have a good chance to make it if the rest of the voting goes similarly.

 

[03EBZ06]

Lot of Cowboys. Let's see what players and Coaches think.

 

[FCBarca]

The safety voting, however, was a joke

QUARTERBACK
1. Brett Favre, Packers: 1,140,863

RUNNING BACK

1. Mat McBriar, Cowboys: 224,345

thanks to last year

 

[theogt]

thanks to last year

Well, he's 4th in the NFC in punting average and net punting average, but the others in front of him are on **** teams. That's just the way it goes sometimes.

McBriar is still the best P IMO

 

[This is Our Year]

Feagles is better than McBriar..............IMO

:starspin

 

[ScipioCowboy]

It seems to me that many, many Cowboy fans voted.

 

[Paniolo22]

The fact that Spears is only about 6000 votes from Canty is pretty sick. This is where homerism takes over. Thompson? 4th? come on.

 

[SuspectCorner]

I'm glad other sources are counter-balancing the insanity of "fan voting" - I mean COME ON... Roy #1 Safety and Spears #5 DE in conference... heh - yeeeeah?!?

 

[theogt]

Feagles is better than McBriar..............IMO

:starspin

Really? Why? Cause it's certainly not because of his punting ability.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

Really? Why? Cause it's certainly not because of his punting ability.

Feagles is probably the league's best directional punter

something McBriar is trying to get better at, or was trying to entering this year

it's tight between those 2, but I'd take McBriar because his leg is stronger and he's a COwboy

 

[AdamJT13]

I mean COME ON... Roy #1 Safety

Which NFC strong safety would you vote in over Roy?

 

[Bob Sacamano]

Which NFC strong safety would you vote in over Roy?

exactly

 

[SibannacRex]

NFC pro bowl team is really the Cowboys and a few random players from the NFC Central.

 

[sonnyboy]

How can any non Packer fan vote Favre ahead of Romo.

 

[AdamJT13]

How can any non Packer fan vote Favre ahead of Romo.

Plenty of fans of other teams would never vote for a Cowboy under any circumstances.
