Game starts very soon on GamePass.

its also on ESPN, but i dont think anyone cares about it anymore, the Pro Bowl has sucked since they moved it from the week after the SB

Maybe this year it's worth watching, due to all the flak they got for the joke game last year, and hearing the players talking about this game, that they want to put in and go hard. I'll give it another chance.

You're right tho, it should be week after super bowl. I personally hate all the replacement selections due to super bowl commitment.

Another story for the day is how the Patriots had seven pro-bowl selections and they've all boycotted it with the excuse of "injury" tho all 53 man roster reported healthy week before AFC game.

Peyton wants the players to play hard, but then Foster had a cry and said they play 16+ games a year, i dont expect a hard hitting game but the last 3-4 Pro Bowls have been a joke, at least look like you try, the Scrimmage nights in pre season look better then the pro Bowl does.

Heard many of the defensive players from both teams talk about playing hard.
There are some offensive skill players (aka divas) who are obviously scared of getting injured.

If the D-line acts like Jaryod Aaron last year i will turn it off.

Will give the game a chance given the talk among a large number of players.
Agree there's bound to be a few skill players more worried about losing money thru injury.
Not too long before start of game, and determining how sooner/later it gets turned off.

Bottom line tho....no matter what, you can't manufacture passion/rivalry/desire to win. There needs to be something 'on the line'.

Why i reckon the best motivation in future games -- losing team has to all go shovel manure for 2 days while the winners get to vacation or attend some celebrity function in Hollywood.

Yeah i agree and am giving it a go this year and another chance but if it turns into a tickling competition like the last few it is straight off!!

Players have been talking it up and vowing to play harder and maybe Goodell threatening to pull the pin on this game is just what the doctor ordered. Plenty of eye candy though in the pre game entertainment and skimpy outfits!!

 

[aussiedude]

Adrian Peterson is gonna try, let's hope they try and stop him or he'll get 1000 yards

He wont get more than 150, they pull the RB after about 1Q same with the QBs

 

[gwono]

LOL Peterson fumble and AFC can't even convert?

 

[Chism]

JJ Watt a WR now???

meh i am about to turn it off.

 

[gwono]

Actually going for 4th down and TD to AJ Green. LOL at the Watt 3rd down pass

 

[exe ex machina]

Looks like Giants vs Chiefs out there with those uniforms.

 

[exe ex machina]

Kyle Rudolph got jacked up there, as did Peterson play after.

Looking good so far.

Don't mind the Watt at WR thing.

 

[exe ex machina]

"nine texans selected, nine here. seven patriots selected, two here"

Don't tell me this stat surprises you??

 

[gwono]

This game looks slightly better than most Pro Bowls thus far...

 

[exe ex machina]

Doesn't surprise, to be expected of the Patriots. But then others will tell me there's no such thing as a bad reputation/perception of the Patriots and I'm an idiot

So far game is looking like a 'real game'. Watt with a busted up hand, blood spattered all over his jersey. It's a good start

 

[gwono]

That was really nice, Manning and Saturday. AWESOME.

The Patriots played last week, what were Houston doing?

 

[exe ex machina]

What are you saying? That players playing every week is something unusual? They need a week off to play pro bowl?

 

[juice t]

Was that a sack or a hug?

 

[gwono]

Wow Johnson showed a bit of leg there...

 

[Chism]

Eli picks up from where he left off during the season.
