Pro Bowl Rosters announced tonight. Who on the Pats get the honors?

[VectorPrime]

Don't a lot of contracts have incentive bonuses that rely on playing making the Pro Bowl? Or is that reserved for All-Pro where its a lot more objective since its not an online voting popularity contest?

Because if its the former I can't blame players for being pissed they got snubbed.

 

[jah]

Kelce is pinned in as the starter over Gronk? Lol what? Even bigger joke is Gronk is the only true TE that made the pro bowl. The other 3 are just wide receivers.

That was the first thing that popped out at me. That's crazy...somehow, a vote that included players and coaches ended with Kelce being "better".

 

[Joey007]

All Pro teams are way more accurate, not to mention more prestigious. That's where our guys normally get more recognition.

could be the incident in buffalo that hurt gronks votes

 

[Horace's Ivories]

I didn't realize Chandler Jones has 15 sacks ...

He would certainly look good on this D...hmm.....

 

[Deus Irae]

On the one hand, you say "Only 4 Patriots, and only 2 full time players among the 4 (Slater is ST, Develin is a sub guy)?".

On the other, you say "That shows just how damned good the coach/QB/TE are.".

And Gronk was leading in pro bowl voting by fans. So it was the players and/or coaches who did it.

Plus how well the defensive unit operates as a team without anyone standing out.

The suspension probably cost him a ton of votes.

 

[Ras-IR Dowling]

Someone is pretty pissed he's not in the Pro Bowl.

Excellent. And right before the playoffs start. Show the world why you deserved the nod Brandin.

 

[Bruins29]

He would certainly look good on this D...hmm.....

Well he is not, so shut up.

Smh. I’m glad to see him doing well in zona but go back to 2015. Do you think his production to that point and his trend of slowing down late in the season warranted the money he was seeking (and ultimately got this past offseason)? Add to it the incident with the synthetic weed?

He’s in the running for DPOY

Leads the NFL for all D Lineman in sacks, Qb pressure, and tackles for loss

 

[NG Pats Fan]

Kinda disappointed not one pats player on D was selected


Want that to change next year.

 

[Vatahala]

Happy for JD, I hope his agent was smart enough to have a all-pro bonus in his contract.

Speaking of money, when do the AFC East championship checks get issued?

Its a nice holiday bonus for guys at the back end of the roster

The defense plays well together as a unit. That's all that matters.

Pro Bowlers? Who do you think deserves it?

hope he didnt smok’em all...

Dam! Jordan Richards got snubbed.

 

[RelocatedPatFan]

Ultimate revenge.

Not attending Pro bowl because you have a football commitment the next week
