Congrats to all the Cowboys who made it.

It is a shame that Jenkins didn't make it - seems like a reward for INTs only based on the guys picked.

Also a shame about Romo, but hopefully it serves only to focus him more.

I still think Bigg is a better RT than Guard but he is pretty good over there. I just think he would be a better RT - if you were draw up what an RT should look like, he is what you would come up with. He is a bit too long for Guard.

I don't know how much more focused anybody could be.

Andre Gurode became a lock for multiple Pro-Bowls the minute Albert Haynesworth stepped on his head... it's as simple as that.

i would say only rodgers is playing better. dude is insane.
Why? Because he takes a sack instead of an incompletion or possibly in interception. The Packers against good teams, including ours, are consitently in 3rd and long due to holding or him taking a sack. Those yards are called false yards. If he throws the ball away instead of taking a sack his competion percentage comes down and his yardage is way down due to being in short yardage due to smart QB play.

I wonder if Matt Shaub is a little ticked...he has better stats than Brady but gets snubbed. Also not one Cincy player made it...proof that the Pro Bowl is a popularity contest.

brady has better stats actually

schaub has 27 tds and 14 ints, brady has 28 tds and 12 ints

brady has played vs a better pass defense schedule than schaub has as well

and brady is putting up those numbers coming off a full season missed due to acl injury

it's the hip thing to bag on brady but his stats this year are better than most of his other seasons barring his ungodly 2007 season


this is just a fact.....

Rogers has been sacked 18 times more than Romo -- while it's a good amount it doesn't cancel out Roger's 5 more TDs passes, 1 less interceptions, 200 more rushing yards, and 3 more rushing TDs.

Roger's rushing yard differential over Romo by itself pretty much cancels out the additional negative yards Rogers has vs Romo.

Um, WHY?

Rice has 1,269 yards rushing at 5.3 YPC, plus 74 catches for 683 yards, and eight total TDs

Benson has 1,251 yards at 4.2 YPC, plus 17 catches for 111 yards, and six total TDs

Not to mention Rice has been a beast for me in fantasy.

Which is all that really matters in the grand scheme of things.
