If the Pro-Bowl was today -- which Colts deserve to go?

[ColtsFanMikeC]

In my opinion, Luck, TY, Vontae and Pat McAffee would all be locks.

 

I also think the way our line and offense have been playing, someone from there deserves to represent Indy -- my vote would be Costanzo.

 

I think Reggie Wayne and Dwayne Allen have very strong cases for themselves on offense (and I think Reggie is making a strong case for come-back player of the year and Dwayne is a tremendous all around TE -- unfortunately, his receiving numbers don't tell the whole picture, so I can see voters going for a lesser talented TE who has more receiving yards but may not be as good a blocker or as valuable to their team as Allen).  Vinatieri is also one of 3 kickers in the league that is still perfect with more than 10 FG attempts (one of 2 in the AFC), so I think he's got a very strong case as well.

 

On D, I'm not sure we've got any guys that stick out other than Vontae.  As a unit, we're really coming together, and I think Redding's leadership and play the past few weeks would render him worthy of a spot, but since pure statistics are very heavily factored into voting, I don't see that happening.

TY Hilton

 

Bradshaw is around 10th in total rush yards in the AFC.  He is, however, behind only Julius Thomas as far as most points scored by a non-kicker.  I imagine the lack of yards will eliminate Bradshaw from many voters ballots.

 

TY, on the other hand, is now 1st in the AFC in receptions and receiving yards (though he might get passed by Antonio Brown tomorrow night in both categories).  Obviously, a lot can change in the next 9 weeks, but if he stays up in the top 2-3 in these categories, I think it'll make him a lock.

[GoColts8818]

Luck, Bradshaw, mcafee, davis, Hilton and Adam.

It's the Pro Bowl. It's based on popularity not achievement, sadly enough.

I vote Jack Doyle

Truth be told, fan voting is a small percentage on who gets chosen. Majority of the voting goes to the players, coaches, and the front office of each NFL team.

Stats do not say much for him he really deserves a lot of credit for our success he has flat out been a great team player

[Nobody]

Automatic:

Andrew Luck

Vontae Davis

Deserving:

Pat McAfee

Ahmad Bradshaw

TY Hilton

Pat is the most popular kicker or punter in the league, plus the best punter, so I think he is definitely going.

[ChrisMoy96]

Luck, Vontae, Hilton, McAffe, Allen

[shakedownstreet]

first two in are andrew & pat. they are our two best weapons 

[New Zealands #1 Colts Fan]

Unfortunately none of the selected players will be at the pro bowl  due to a prior engagement in Arizona

I agree. But I'm not sure how that is unfortunate...

So the team did all receive invitations to Bruce Arians wedding?

Whew, thank the apple juice God's

Thought I was gonna have to sit next to Jon Gruden & Phil Simms for the whole ceremony

[GoColts8818]

I am pushing for Adam.  He's become the forgotten kicker on our team (and with good reason) and all he has done this season is be perfect. 

[Defjamz26]

Yeah Mcafee is without a doubt, the best punter/specialist in the NFL. His punts are ridiculous, and his ability to kick perfect onside kicks is rare. He doesn't get enough credit. He is actually a difference maker on the team. I think he makes the Pro-Bowl and is an All Pro this season.

[ukcolt12]

Luck, Mcafee, TY, Vontae will go I reckon

 

Allen should go but probably wont be selected

[Caleb3502]

Greg Toler should get a little consideration. He's been a great corner this year.

[ThE JoKeR]

Luck, Hilton, Davis, Mcaffe should be locks

[Buck Showalter]

Sitting next to Gruden at a wedding would make the wedding awesome!!!

because absolutely everything would be awesome!!!

 

"Wow did you hear those vows??? I like to call the Pastor officiating this wedding the Milkman, because the milkman ALWAYS delivers..."

"This wedding feels like it is in Ultra high-speed slow-mo”

"The Groom has eyes in the back of his head!!!"

“You better hold onto the groceries in traffic or a bride's maids going to take a bite out of it.”

“Look at the size of that menu.”

[rock8591]

Luck, TY, and Davis all locks.

 

McAfee and Veniteri deserve to both go.

[BOTT]

Truth be told, fan voting is a small percentage on who gets chosen. Majority of the voting goes to the players, coaches, and the front office of each NFL team.

It's an even split between fans, coaches and players. Front office guys don't vote.

Did you guys see that Doyle block on Bradshaws td run? He just blew 59 completely out of the picture. Love that dude!

[Superfly Jay]

Luck

Hilton

Davis

Adams

Pat

Castonzo

Allen

[Slick_Rick]

Pat is the most popular kicker or punter in the league, plus the best punter, so I think he is definitely going.

NFL AM is to credit for his popularity. Everytime he is on, he cracks me up

[Smonroe]

None. Because they'd be playing in the SuperBowl next week.

[Andrew Luck's Beard]

The coaching staff.

[New Zealands #1 Colts Fan]

I agree. But I'm not sure how that is unfortunate...

 

The word unfortunate was obviously tongue in cheek

[mattceinicram]

No one has mentioned Matt Overton.  He is just as automatic this year as last.  Huge part in Adam and Pat's success

[Sting]

Luck

Hilton

Davis

Adams

Pat

Castonzo

Allen

Love Castonzo.  I remember arguing with another Colt fan who wanted Carimi over him in the draft.  Glad to see that Castonzo is even being considered for the Pro Bowl by Colt fans.

[GoColts8818]

thats because the pro-bowl coach picks the long snapper and almost always takes his own guy.

[Valpo2004]

Luck, Hilton, Davis, McAfee

[Holden89]

Luck, Davis, and McAfee are basically already in

 

I think Hilton is as close to a lock as you can be without ACTUALLY being a lock, and I also think Castonzo deserves an appearance.  Allen is another dark horse for some recognition, I think.  However, I think Julius Thomas and Gronk will make it over him because of the name (and being really really good)

[ColtStronger]

Hands Down

Luck

TY

AV

Patty Mac

Vontae

Castonzo

Overton

 

Other players deserving but don't get enough credit because great depth/overshadowed by other great players

Bradshaw

Wayne

Toler

Redding

Freeman

Allen

[OffensivelyPC]

Apparently a lot of people here don't know that Vontae would just be a slot corner on any other team. 

[Superfly Jay]

Love Castonzo.  I remember arguing with another Colt fan who wanted Carimi over him in the draft.  Glad to see that Castonzo is even being considered for the Pro Bowl by Colt fans.

Yup he's been doing his this season.
