    Smith could have made it, but looking at the other guys' numbers he wasn't robbed. He's having a better season than last year but the other guys selected are just as deserving.

    I'd like to have seen Nicks make it too.

    Vilma is just a difference maker. Without him anchoring the defense, we would be scratching to maybe get a wildcard spot right now. He's always where the ball is or is going to be. Glad to see him recognized.

    I think that you're confusing Jahri Evans with Jermon Bushrod. I don't recall ever seeing Evans manhandled by anyone.

    I know he got beat once by Jay Ratliff and had to hold to keep Brees alive. Wiped out a good gain and chance for momentum. Costly error on footwork at the line of scrimmage to get beat. That's one of the few breakdowns I've seen him have all year.

    You are right. I got mixed up. Bushrod was being manhandled, my bad.

    Yeah, Bushrod is who I am concerned about, not JEvans. My mistake.

    There were many years when the Saints had no players in the Pro Bowl. This year we'll have none playing and it's a good thing!

    Congrats for making the Pro Bowl but skipping out for a bigger prize! Saintslogo

    At least all those Viking fans who voted pretty much their whole team to the Pro Bowl will get their wish! Have fun boys, we'll be resting up!

    Thank goodness the Saints won. Otherwise the NFC would have had to play the Pro Bowl ironman-syle...
