SilentHill Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Thanks for not showing up at the pro-bowl Tom! Andrew Luck got to hang out with all of these pro-bowl caliber players and I'm sure he learned a thing or two from them in the process. To me, for Luck to go to the pro-bowl and be around so many good players and learn from the best in the league (Ok, maybe he didn't learn anything from Schaub lol) is just a priceless experience. So I'd like to issue Tom Brady a huge thank you for helping to accelerate Andrew Luck's experience in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esquire59 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Did y'all see how accurate his bombs were in the second half? He was the best of the three AFC QB's easily. INT was really stupid and a turrrrble throw but it was a gimmick play that he was put up to by the sideline. Who didn't know that Swatt was gettin' the pass thrown to him? Looked great when he had time to throw, didn't he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoKeR Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 I don't understand why they kept forcing passes to Watt for TDs, all he did was show everyone why he was converted from a TE to a DE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smonroe Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 He mostly had time to throw since the D line wasn't really putting on much pressure, although he did get sacked once, right?But the DBs were playing tight, they didn't want to get shown up. His throws were really nice, except for that INT, and he knew that was a bad one as soon as he let it go.Let's get this silly Superbowl out of the way and get to the important stuff. FAs, Combine, the draft, mini camps, preseason...Can't Wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldunclemark Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 It was a fun game..It got sloppy near the end and they stopped tackling... ..but this was never meant to be a serious game..just an enthusiastic one.. They just have to be wiling to work to entertain...and they did for awhile. I enjoyed the throws to JJ Watt and the backward onside kick..I wish they'd run more reverses and halfback passes... the symbolic gesture with Jeff Saturday may not have meant much to many watching but it did to me... I';d like to see some of the rookie experimentation done during the pro Bowl..like the no kickoffs scenario... maybe 3 downs///like canadian football.. eliminate extra points ..and have the players interview each other... Sideline reporters do not need to be there at all.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tark The Shark Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 I don't think I can ever thank Tom Brady. I like that Luck showed what he could do with excellent weapons around him. The Pro Bowl is a sham and hopefully the NFL does something with it, whether it be thrown away or actually made to matter. I remember hearing a story of Jack Youngblood playing in the pro bowl with a broken leg. Guys now a days have a hangnail and they are too hurt to play.

Do they believe that their vote was neglected, taken for granted, or wasted? Personally, I want Vince Lombardi trophies not MVP Awards. Recognition by the media & your peers is nice, but diamond studded Tiffany rings last forever. Yes, not every team or athlete can win one that's true, but if you settle for trips to Hawaii on an annual basis & get complacent you will never reach the top of the mountain in the NFL Promiseland of Immortality. If you win one why not relentlessly pursue two? 3 rings puts you in a stratosphere that most athletes will rarely if ever attain...Isn't that why you play in this league, to break records & set yourself apart from your warrior counterparts?

These NFL events: Both the ProBowl & the SB feel like a 9 hour pregame intermission from Hades. Can we skip the foreplay & slide right into the main event please? Thanks. I do like critiquing SB TV commercials though. The only time I ever watch advertisements.Usually, they are not funny or clever though. My friends The Peytonator, Braveheartcolt, Brent, QuizBoy, GoPats, Jules, Jay kirk, & ruksak should write & approve all commercials 1st. That would be spectacular! At least, I would laugh hysterically for once. Oh why not let all my friends pitch in here...I'd hate to alienate anybody...Besides, you never know where the most creative idea comes from right?
