Here are the ones I've heard so far.

Philadelphia - 9 guys!

McNabb

TO

Akers

Dawkins

Michael Lewis

Reese (special teams)

Sheppard

Tra Thomas

Trotter

Minnesota

Daunte Culpepper

Matt Birk

Kevin Williams

Denver

Champ Bailey

John Lynch

I don't agree with the Trotter choice, I think it should have been Nick Barnett as the MLB. Also I would rather have a healthy Dan Morgan over Trotter any day.

Quick side question...If you are asked to go to the Pro-Bowl as an alternate, does that make you a pro-bowler?In 2002, one of the NFC running backs declined to go to the pro-bowl because of surgery. At which point, the league asked Tiki Barber as the first alternate. However Tiki had scheduled surgery as well and he declined. At which point, Michael Bennett was asked to go as the second alternative and he accepted.

How does Larry Allen make it every year? He's nowhere near as good as he used to be. Is this like the baseball All-Star where once you make it, they keep voting you in until you miss the entire season?

Didn't you see the part where I listed Ray Lewis above?

RB Tiki Barber has been named to the 2005 NFC Pro Bowl squad. Several other Giants players were named as alternates, including TE Jeremy Shockey, LB Carlos Emmons and WR/Special Teamer David Tyree. Stay logged on to Giants.com for more on this breaking story.

Yeah you're still technically a Pro Bowler, but there is a distinction usually made between players who are voted in and those chosen as alternates -- especially since so many players don't even go to the Pro Bowl so it tends to water down the process a bit. That's how Dave Krieg got in so many times.

In trolling the New England web site I found this headline!

Dolphins give Patriots a shocker in Miami

They gave New England a shocker? Guess that loss was even more humiliating than it looked!

Totally disagree with the Ahman Green nod. I think it should be Tiki and Shaun Alexander hands down.

Atlanta

Keith Brooking

Patrick Kerney

Michael Vick

Alge Crumpler

Dissappointed that Rossum and Coleman didn't make it. Coleman really anchored the Falcons' D-line this season.

Edited: Spelling

EDIT: Here's a link: http://www.ajc.com/sports/content/sports/f...UZUcUbUcTYWVVZV

The Falcons had four players named to the NFC Pro Bowl team Wednesday. There was one noticeable name left out.

Quarterback Michael Vick, tight end Alge Crumpler, linebacker Keith Brooking and defensive end Patrick Kerney were named to the team that will play in Hawaii on Feb. 13 - a week after the Super Bowl.

Absent from the list was defensive lineman Rod Coleman, a major reason the Falcons' defense has improved over the much the same unit that was last in the NFL last year. Coleman has 8 1/2 sacks this season. The Falcons defense had compiled 40 sacks, but only one during the three games Coleman missed this season with a knee injury.

Moved running list to top of thread

Daunte Culpepper

no moss?

Moss shouldn't be there.

 

[BlueOnion]

Moss shouldn't be there.

Agreed. Moss is on a much higer level. Moss on the pro-bowl would be akin to naming Tom Brady to your college All-American Team.

 

[zamboni]

New York Jets

John Abraham

Curtis Martin

Kevin Mawae

Reasonable picks, although too bad Dewayne Robertson didn't get in.

 

[tietzjd]

Here' the running list. Will update as they come in. Still haven't heard from new england, Pittsburgh or san diego, which will go a long way to fleshing out the AFC roster.

AFC TE anything other then Gonzo and Gates would be ludicrous.

 

[TheDirtyWord]

How does Laroi Glover make the Pro Bowl over Rod Coleman at the DT position?

 

[BlueOnion]

It looks like John Lynch made the AFC roster? Did he earn this or was this solely on rep?

 

[packersfan]

Atlanta

Michael Vick

Wow. That's a complete joke. No way should Vick be considered a Pro Bowl QB this year.

 

[zamboni]

Atlanta

Michael Vick

Wow. That's a complete joke. No way should Vick be considered a Pro Bowl QB this year.

I agree. Granted, outside of C-Pep and McNabb, there aren't too many great NFC options, but I would pick Favre over him. Totally a popularity-type pick here.

 

[tietzjd]

Atlanta

Michael Vick

Wow. That's a complete joke. No way should Vick be considered a Pro Bowl QB this year.

Joke how so? If winning is everything in the NFL at 11-3 Vick has the 2nd best recored in NFC!I too think Vick is not the best qb in the world but whom are you going to give 3rd QB Slot too?

Favre, as mentioned above.

 

[BlueOnion]

Maybe Vick made it as a running back. Did they specify which position he qualified for?

Give me your Argument of Farve (8-6) over Vick (11-3).

Anyone else find it somewhat misguided to announce pro bowlers while there's still two games left to play?

 

[The FPI]

Favre3,527 yards, 25TD, 16 INT, 88.7 RatingVick2,278 yards, 13TD, 12 INT, 76.6 RatingI'd guess Vick got the nod thanks to his rushing stats 889 yards, 3TD

Well, baseball does it with half the season to go, so this isn't too bad.

Favre would be more a popularity pick than Vick...

 

[tietzjd]

No! With 2 games left some teams have nothing to play for and this could change the performances of some players. Say Pat's would wrap up Home field by now they might sit Brady. Should that count as bad mark for Brady?

Agreed. I don't think Favre is one of the 3 best Qbs in the NFC. While Vick doesn't excite me, its hard to argue with success.COlin
