MERGED: Ravens At The Pro Bowl - Game Thread

[berad]

Who's watching?

Ray's getting interviewed right now, small chat. Shame that Rice, Sizzle, Haloti, and Reed won't be there but I'm proud of all the ones who got selected.

[Moderator 2]

Not sure I can continue Ray is like a little kid. Dalton is the third QB really???? Ugh so that means Yanda and Leach should be there

[Purple Nurple]

What the hell was that opening number? I'm making wings and seriously contemplating rewatching week one on my dvr.

[berad]

Gah! What? I thought the game was starting at 7 but I've been tricked into listening to the NBC Sports crew... I'll check back in 30 min or an hour. Can't stand Bob Costas and Tony Dungy staring down at me from their high horses.

[Purple Nurple]

So 3 out of our 8 nods are playing? Grubbs, Yanda, and Lewis?

Edit. Forgot leach

I thought Leach was in, too.

The Pro Bowl is sooooo boring!! The players really don't want to play their hearts out, only giving something like 2% of their potential. There is no blitzing or press coverage and only 4-3 defense. So all the physical corners and pash rush linebackers, just stay home. No need for Suggs or Mathews, then can only drop back into coverage on every play. In 2009 or 2010, don't remember, but 29 players skipped the Pro Bowl that year.

[wolfpack]

Fair enough that you don't want to hit the QB, but can the DL at least try to get into him? Just tap him on the shoulder if you don't want to hit him. But it just hurts to watch the DL and OL go at it, they are just looking at each other

[Purple Nurple]

Yeah. The OL and DL look like they're playing patty cake.

Steve smith....lil playmaker, lol.

It's horrible to watch the OL DL battle, at least pretend like you care

[Purple Nurple]

Ha. Even the crew calling the game is laughing at how soft everyone is playing.

They're fat guys, you really think they wanna be running around hitting people right now? Hahaha.

Seriously though, I agree. It's football man! Play the dang game!

[berad]

Larry Fitzgerald, wow. That's a great athlete

[wolfpack]

The crowd is booing. Time for the coaches to turn it up a bit, at least run a ton of trick plays so its a little exciting to watch

Could not agree more!! A pee wee football game would have more contact

[wolfpack]

Really Revis? Do you even want to be at the game?

[berad]

Mike Mayock praising Revis as he gets smoked for a huge TD. I know it's just an exhibition game but c'mon, man... shut up!

[Purple Nurple]

Lol @ Revis

[The Raven]

Lol at the pick and the series of laterals.

[wolfpack]

Good idea for the NFL next season! Only invite WRs, QBs and DBs. No need for anyone else, they are already cutting away all the others positions fun

[Ravens4Real]

A TD pass from a guy the Ravens organization already despises to one that we will eventually grow to hate.

[wolfpack]

Pro Bowl tickets should be free.

[hawkprey]

Whatever happened to the NFC/AFC rivalry? It's almost like the conference names don't mean anything anymore.

[wolfpack]

Why are they wearing shoulder pads? I haven't seen a single hit. Get rid of the pads then and make the players more elusive.
Then need to find a way to make this game mean something to the players and conferences

[hawkprey]

Boo hoo, Aaron Rodgers is mad because he was drafted in the first round, but not as high as he wanted.
Anyone else come to think Rodgers has a big ego?

Mr. Rodgers, how about just being happy that you are in the NFL and are making millions of dollars?

[Static]

Ewwww, all Im seeing are steelers, everywhere.

Get that, Vonta! We've heard these same stories on Jimmy Graham all season, I'm over it!

Did you know the TE position is getting more athletic?! We've been hearing it for the past 10+ years...
