I was thinking yesterday, which is usually a bad idea. The best way to improve the Pro Bowl game is to have an incentive to win. Obviously the incentive can't be that the winning conference hosts the Super Bowl. But what if it were something close to that? For example on Sunday, it would have been perfectly fitting to hear the crowd singing "I don't wanna lose your love tonight" when the score was 28-3 Atlanta. Maybe the winning conference should "host" the Super Bowl in terms of operating the stadium? The whole "GET LOUD" and "Quiet: offense at work," and obviously the music would be pretty cool and not an extreme advantage considering the fanbase usually is split 50/50. You could take the winner of the 2016 Pro Bowl and apply it to the 2017 Super Bowl so players wouldn't half-ass it the week before the SB to spite a rival or something.

Just food for thought. Gonna be a long offseason!
 
yeah im going to have to agree that the pro bowl should have no implications on the actual season or postseason in any way that impacts the games
