Did Suh make it to the Pro Bowl? I was trying to read the names across the bottom on ESPN last night, but I didn't see Suh's name.

Good for him.. Well deserved

What about Raiola ?

What about Raiola ?

 

Megatron was the only Detroit player to make it, I find that disappointing considering the year they have had.

Read something from a reporter covering Green Bay that it's possible - and this seemed like pure speculation on his part - that an entire team could have not voted for Suh, thus ending any chances he had of making the team. He's a First Alternate, so if someone gets hurt or opts out he'll go, but as of now he's not going, and neither is Stafford, despite the year he had. The Stafford snub is probably a bigger snub than Suh - Suh didn't have the same eye-popping numbers as last year, although he was very good, and occupied a lot of linemen in each game.

Just checking out some QB stats - I don't know if Big Ben will play this week, but he could easily finish with over 4,000 yards. Tony Romo will most likely finish with over 4,000 yards and Cam Newton will most likely finish with over 4,000 yards. That would be 10 QBs over that mark. Brees has already thrown for more than 5,000 and Brady will likely finish with over 5,000. The game sure has changed.

I know that the pro bowl counts for absolutely nothing, but if the NFC doesn't win this going away, I'd be surprised.
