Pro Bowl Nominations

Who will be named to the roster tonight?

1. Wilson
2. Lynch
3. Sherman
4. Thomas III
5. Chancellor
6. Wagner

Not going out on a limb with these guys. Wagner should get the nod but I can see him getting snubbed due to the games that he missed. It would be more of a shock that any of the others were not named to the roster. I think Lockette deserves consideration for special teams.

Hopefully, we don't see any of these guys playing in this game.

Wilson should, but might not now that its top 6 regardless of conference instead of 3 and 3. Rodgers and Romo are almost guaranteed and then I can easily see 4 AFC QB's. Manning, Brady and Luck for sure. Then you have Ben, Rivers and few others who have scratched there way into the voting.

I think he should, but wont be shocked if he doesnt. If the players and coaches waited to vote till after sundays game, then Its more of a sure thing.

I agree, although Wilson has the rushing yards to maybe bump him over the edge. This was a damn good game to remind everyone of why he's so good.

Am i the only one with a lot more interest in the pro bowl with this new format?

Obviously that interest is relative, i'm still not on the edge of my seat or anything but having a couple hall of famers pick teams and play is a lot more interesting then the mystery vote/play some meaningless game for some randomly assigned coach.

It's still a meaningless game but it is interesting to see guys go up against teammates and stuff.

Not that it matters much, the Seahawks will be busy with other things.

Wilson, Thomas, Chancellor, Sherman, Lynch. I think that's all we get.

All said and done. Kam, Earl, Sherm, Wags!, and Lynch. No Russ.

Congrats to the guys who were selected. Russ got robbed though.

Who should he have made it over?

Do people still actually care about the pro bowl?

Great that Wagner was recognized. Surprising with the games that he missed he made it this year. Sherman's campaign no doubt helped his cause

Congrats to Pro Bowler Bobby Wagner - the heart and soul of our front seven, especially without Mebane in the lineup.

Lions fans are up in arms over Tate not making it. I think its funny that the reason he didn't, is because THEY didn't vote for him enough.

Bennett should have been selected.

Barnwell made a good point on his podcast that he is really possibly the best element of our defense based on his ability to pass rush and stop the run, and that there are only 2-3 other d-lineman in the league who have that same ability to affect the pass & run as well as he can. Especially given Mebane gone for the year, Bennett has had to play a larger role.

Doesn't matter, Hawks will be preparing for the Tawmy Brady in SB 49.

Luck. Even Part Time Seahawks Detractor Chris Carter said as much on NFL Network tonight and even though I get hives whenever I find myself agreeing with the man, he's right. Luck had his moments but overall Wilson has been MUCH more the dynamic quarterback with FAR less turnovers, a bona-fide MVP-type player.

He said the new format (vs the traditional 3 NFC, 3 AFC model) is why he thinks it happened. Twitterverse agrees. The biggest snub by a landslide is Wilson.

Arguably Russell Wilson should have made it over Andrew Luck, Tony Romo, or Jamal Charles. He has stats close to or better than them in several aspects.

...That's not how the Pro Bowl works.

Luck and Charles are both AFC players, and Charles is a RB not a QB....

I'll agree on Romo.

I'm pretty miffed too. Thought he was more worthy than Julio (who's been injured for a fair few games and unproductive at the start of the season), would have done our chances of a third round comp better too.

Great for Bobby, I hope we lock him up for a long long time.

Side note: There's not a special teamer in the league I'd take over #83, I don't even think he was on the shortlist for voting. He definitely deserved to get in.

Actually it is no longer divisional, the top 6 QBs by votes regardless of division got in. All QBs can be from the AFC if they were voted that way. Right now 4 are from AFC 2 form NFC
