Well, he'll just have to do it again, or better. 

But let's face it, we're a small market team that had a dead man walking as a head coach, then an interim head coach and what had been a mushy soft defense for a couple of years. No one was really looking at our defensive players at all. 

Hopefully this will be a sit up and take notice year for the NFL when it comes to our defense. We need, desperately, to regain the strength and reputation that we've had in the past. And there's only one way to do it and that's with INTs, sacks and giving busted lips and black eyes to our opponents. 

We, as a team, need to play the whole season like the first hit Thomas Davis would put on Jimmy Graham every time we'd play the Saints. He'd just knock the dogwater out of him and Graham would play scared the rest of the game. You could see him flinch every time Davis would make a quick move in his direction.

We've got to be like that every game this season.

Whew.... I didn't even know he did all that!! I keep forgetting about other pieces we added like Vonn Bell and Rowe too!! We have playmakers from front to back now and I think Luvu could very well cause havoc along with Chinn(moving closer  to the line) and others!! All that said to say, yes he got snubbed by looking at the other guys stats.

Not a single vote is inexcusable.  The Pro Bowl is supposed to be the "popularity contest" compared to the All-Pro selections which are supposed to be more reputable and merit-based and exempt from factors like market size.  So this is pretty disappointing...but hey the silver lining is that pragmatically speaking, these things can theoretically help keep his price tag lower for an extension lol.

Plus he plays for us 😕

(you don't necessarily get a lot of attention that way)

Here is hoping that is about to change.  Won't turn around in 1 year but for the 1st time ever, this team needs to have a winning season, then another and another.  While were are at it....take over the NFC South.

Yep. It'd be nice for the winning seasons to not be so...occasional 😕

Was an upstart player on a bad team, it’s understandable. If we do well and he maintains his level of play he’ll get some attention for sure. 

It's understandable when it comes to Pro Bowl voting.  But the AP All-Pro voting is supposed to be above all that bad team/small market noise.

      We looked like a competent NFL team PIE thread

      By Prowler2k18 · Posted

      We could easily pick apart yesterday’s game: dropped passes, blown coverages, bad tackling and red zone issues to name a few. But it was clear that this wasn’t the same team from earlier in the season. They fought back and hung with the champs until the end. That’s what I was excited to see and it gives me hope that we’re on the right track.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Pejorative Miscreant · Posted

      I think BY played well today and exceeded expectations. I will temper future expectations as he has to string together many games of consistent quality. One game doesn’t convince me that he is a franchise QB or even a guy you want to stick with for another season. One game doesn’t erase all the negative play and limitations from the past couple of years. I hope he balls out and continues to get better but for me the verdict is still out   That said, I think he gave the team and fans hope yesterday which is a lot more than what we had when we woke up Sunday morning.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By Ricky Prickles · Posted

      He was vastly improved today and we need to see more of Bryce the rest of the season to continue evaluate him in order to decide what the heck to do with him at the end of the season. He must play at least like this and improve more from here the rest of the season in order for me to keep him. No more 123 yard passing games and want to see at least this output weekly from him. If this is Bruce improving slowly over time then Canales is even better with developing QB's than I thought he was but still too early to tell and we need to see him the rest of the way as he has at very least earned back the starting gig moving forward.
