Ray Rice, Leach, Yanda, Ngata, Reed, and Jones have all been selected to the pro bowl! Congrats to these guys, and hopefully they won't be playing!
BTW Pollard was a snub
Shoutout to our 6 Pro-Bowlers!

Justin Tucker got robbed! He's currently the best kicker in the AFC- no offense to Phil Dawson!

Next year... I'm going to ballot stuff again to make sure Koch (and possibly Tucker) goes. Even if he doesn't play, just get him in.

The Pro Bowl is one giant popularity contest... Jason Pierre-Paul and Clay Matthews haven't done anything this season to warrant such an honor, but they're brand names, so people vote for them.

It's never too late! Ray Guy for HOF!
Back to Koch. He's better than Colquitt in sheer yardage, but way worse in precision (punts inside the 20).
Punts/yd: 76/3655 75/3514
IN20: 27 42

Lol only reason that Lewis wasn't in it was b/c of his injury.
They both will be pro bowlers until the day they retire. Neither of them have to put up great numbers any more as long as their relevant.
Reed has 4 pics and he's on ESPN every monday for these ridiculous "helmet-to-helmet" hits(GREAT hits btw).

Ray saying, "No more Pro Bowls, just Super Bowls" doesn't help his voting either. I agree though. While it is nice to see our guys given the honor of playing in the Pro Bowl, we need to be more focused on a Lombardi.

Fan votes only account for 1/3 (thank God for that) of the Pro Bowl voting, with the other 2/3 being players and coaches. That's why Oher and even Cary never made it in.
Congrats to all 6 Ravens that were voted in. Despite the Pro Bowl being a complete and utter joke, it still must feel special to be voted among the best in your position by your peers.
As always, there's a lot of players making it in mostly by their overall reputation through the years and not their play on said year, and then there's the AFC safeties which, to me, are all wrong. Oh and Jeff Saturday?? Come on now.
I know a lot of people around here have PFF subscriptions and I was wondering; could someone put together a list of the most notable snubs based on their PFF grade and then some who made it in despite their poor rating? Thanks.

Which season did Ray not put up "Pro Bowl/great numbers" and made the Pro Bowl?
