Not a single Jets player will be going to Hawaii for the 2014 Pro Bowl

I'm glad we spared Mo the humiliation and embarrassment of participating in a total farce. Hell, the QBs are off limits the entire game.

How much fun would that be for big Mo?

 

mo and folk should have been locks.

what a joke

 

It has always been tougher for 3-4 DEs to make it. He def should have tho

 

Sucks that Wilkerson missed the cut. If he duplicates this again next year he'll get in.

 

Folk would have been deserving, but it's not a surprise, to me, that he didn't make it. Tucker is just as deserving, and the MNF game against Detroit, which was a national showcase for him, is fresh in everyone's minds. You could argue Folk deserved it more than Prater, but him breaking the kick record likely guaranteed him the votes.

Wilk not getting in is a shame, though.

 

Folk didn't get it because there was about a five game span down the stretch where he had about 1-3 points per game. Not his fault at all, our offense sucked and couldnt even get in field goal range. Really great breakthrough season from him and I hope he can continue to kick at this high level for the Jets for many years.

 

LOL the fact that Cromartie is an alternate just shows how much bullshit the Pro Bowl really is.

 

Wilkerson and Mangold are first alternates. Wilkerson will end up going. He shouldn't accept.

 

Where are you seeing first and second alternates?

 

Exactly.
Cro getting anywhere near there without a ticket is an even bigger joke.

 

Its a pretend football game they should just do away with the whole thing

 

Ha! This comment can be taken two ways - and will be. What's so obvious to one is so ridiculous to the other.

 

Its a popularity contest. People know the name Cromartie. Thats why he got any votes at all.

When you think about it though, he has what, 50 children? He must have had them voting all day, every day.

 

Like others have said, Pro Bowl is a joke. Should be scrapped, I'd be pissed if a Jet tore an acl at this stupid fuckin game.

 

I'd rather Mo Wilk didn't go. It's an opportunity to get hurt in a meaningless game.

@Jake - exactly.

 

I mean Folk has been great this year, but Prater set the field goal record this year and Tucker just had that game where he scored all the Ravens points and they beat the Lions. He's 35/38 when Folk is 31/33.

It sucks but I get it.

Wilkerson I don't get, I think he definitely deserves it. 3-4 DEs almost never have 10+ sacks

 

Big Deal

This format is stupid

only might work in basketball

 

(1) As noted, the Pro Bowl is a joke, so taking it seriously is silly.
(2) There's a good chance Wilkerson will get a chance to go if he wants to.
(3) People need to understand that while Folk has been great, that is not that special any more. There are 13 kickers with FG percentages over 90% this year, so the difference between any of them is pretty much one FG made or missed. Prater has the highest percentage and set an NFL record for longest kick, so I can't see any objection to him making it, and the other kicker could have been any 1 of 10 different guys.
