Jake Long got screwed. How does Joe Thomas and Jason Peters both get in ahead of him? Neither have played well this season.

Joe Thomas had an excellent year apart from yesterday's game. He deserves to be in there together with Michael Roos. How Peters made it in there is indeed a good question. And Favre is a joke.

We can forgive a man for making a useful thing as long as he does not admire it. The only reason for making a useless thing is that one admires it intensely. All art is quite useless.

Sorry, I posted a thread too!

Jason Peters making it as a starter is a joke. Not only did Porter own him, but he was owned last week against the Jets--and was the person who gave up the sack that caused the fumble.

He's been awful. Jake Long has had a much better year than he has.

I'm pissed. How Peters and even Thomas got in ahead of Long makes zero sense to me.

Congrats to Ronnie and Porter.

Pennington and Long were deserving, but what can you do?

Tanking is like taking a Greyhound bus cross-country. Sure, it may eventually get you where you want to go, but it’s messy and unpleasant and uncomfortable, it stinks, the entire time you’ll be wishing you weren’t there, and not everybody along for the ride is going to make it to the end. - Quote stolen from Deadspin

Anyone who's looked at pro bowl rosters for any period of time knows that these things always have people who are included based upon their past reputation rather than their current level of play. It's been that way for as long as I can remember.

The rest of the NFL hates the Dolphins, and is jealous over the resurgence. I'm surprised we got any one in.

Hope this is taken as a "snub" and the team plays with a chip on its shoulder.

Cant believe Jake didnt get in. I expected him to get in and not Ronnie. And too bad Carpenter didnt make it, but that's not really that big of a surprise.

The amount of undeserving Jets is just unbelievable

6 Giants are on the list.

"A man's suffering is similar to the behavior of gas. If a certain quantity of gas is pumped into an empty chamber, it will fill the chamber completely and evenly, no matter how big the chamber. Thus, suffering completely fills the human soul and conscious mind, no matter whether the suffering great or little. Therefore, the "size" of human suffering is absolutely relative." - Viktor Frankl

They missed badly on the AFC QBs. This isn't MVP voting, so the fact that you're on a bad team shouldn't disqualify you. Where is Phillip Rivers? Or Pennington for that matter? Those two should have been tops in the AFC.

Jake Long not getting in and Brett Favre making it are my biggest issues. Now, besides those i think the teams were picked VERY well this year. But those two issues are big ones. Favre in no way shape or form deserves to be in and niether does Jason Peters over Jake Long.

Peters, Favre making it over Jake Long, Pennington and Rivers is a joke. Also no Matt Ryan???

Brett Favre has been average at the very best this year. What a joke.

Phillip Rivers receiving the snub of the century.

John Madden probably voted for him over 5 million times, that's how he wins every year.

Exactly, I am disappointed Chad Pennington didn't make it, is he not the 3rd rated QB?

It comes down to a popularity contest.

I am not so sure Ronnie Brown should have gotten it, but I' take it.
