If the Vikings make the SB and Thielen is voted MVP, they have to make a movie about his life.DK Sweets wrote: Nonononono the fines.....

Re: Four Vikings named to the Pro Bowl
Seeing who initially gets voted into the Pro Bowl is interesting, but honestly, the PB is a joke. Come the time when the game is actually played, Teddy will probably be on the roster again...THIS season!

Re: Four Vikings named to the Pro Bowl
I'm not so sure. The game is a joke, but the voting? If you think about the way the players get voted in, there's no reason Smith should've been snubbed. 1/3 fans, 1/3 players, 1/3 coaches. If I read correctly, Smith was leading the fans vote which means he's not getting the votes from the players and coaches.PacificNorseWest wrote:Seeing who initially gets voted into the Pro Bowl is interesting, but honestly, the PB is a joke.

Re: Four Vikings named to the Pro Bowl
That's really the crux of it ... the voting. Who care about the game?808vikingsfan wrote: I'm not so sure. The game is a joke, but the voting?

The fact that Harrison Smith got snubbed, and that snub came from the players and coaches -- well, it doesn't say much for the intelligence of those players and coaches. Specifically, how could anyone on any Vikings opponent not vote for Smith? The guy makes about 10 incredibly impressive plays per game. The way Zimmer lines him up anywhere is uncanny. How many times have we seen him lining up near the LOS, as if to blitz, and getting back into coverage 15 yards downfield? Or starting out deep in the defensive backfield and bursting through to make a TFL?
He's the best safety in the game, period. They got this one very, very wrong.
Go ahead. I dare you.
Underestimate this man.

Re: Four Vikings named to the Pro Bowl
I'm not sure were arguing anything different...That's why I'm saying, I initially like to see who gets voted in because that's all that really matters and I posted earlier about the Vikings snubs. I just feel the entire process is a joke now because in the end, you'll have guys that have no business being on a pro bowl roster actually being the ones to play the game.808vikingsfan wrote: I'm not so sure.

I've always thought more highly of All-Pro teams...Pro Bowl gets the most mentions though cause of the game that's played...but when you hear announcers say, so and so "was a pro bowler last year," it has certainly lost its prestige with some of these guys that get in now. Completely watered down and to the point where it doesn't really matter either way.

Blake Martinez is a stud. Not sure all who made it in over him at that position, but from that list it is he or Keemun, in my opinion.

The Devil whispered in the Viking's ear, "There's a storm coming." The Viking replied, "I am the storm." #SKOL2018

Xavier and Harrison 1st team All-Pro's. That's all that matters.

Thielen and Griffin named to 2nd team.

Re: Four Vikings named to the Pro Bowl
Thielen!After being snubbed by Pro Bowl voters, Vikings' Harrison Smith was selected as a first-team All-Pro safety. Harrison was joined by teammate Xavier Rhodes. Receiver Adam Thielen and pass rusher Everson Griffen made the second-team from Mike Zimmer's squad
