2018 Pro Bowl snubs: 4 Detroit Lions players who should have made it.
These Lions players should have made the 2018 Pro Bowl roster.

Should be starting over Rhodes but whatever. Glad he's not an alternate this year, well deserved.

I'm not a Stafford slappy but he should've got in too, though I didn't expect it to happen. Statistically, he hit the mark in pretty much every category...doing it all with no run game and a shit offensive line.

Without knowing stats! I would think the injured Philly QB, and the LA QB. And Drew Brees. Don't know if Matt was better or worse than any of those and I haven't seen the list of players named but off the top of my head those would have been the 3 I would think.
 
Just saw Wilson was named. Tough list to Crack.

Brees has been carried by a fantastic run game this year. He?s fallen off a bit, struggling on some throws, not the Brees old.

NFL has 3 forms of voting so 3 forms of a way to screw up I guess. I wonder if the ones who vote take that into account, run game and such.
 
Slay leads the league in picks


Agnew, Prater, Stafford and Glover Quin all should have made it

they got it right. None of those guys deserve it over the guys selected. But don't worry....a lot of the real pro-bowlers won't go, so that will open things up for the Lions players.

Lions should be Super Bowl bound so won't play in the pro bowl
 
Don't care much for the Pro Bowl

Let's see if Slay makes All Pro 1st or 2nd team, would be a great accomplishment.
 
Stafford replaces Russell Wilson easily

No. Wilson is basically Stafford + Abdullah combined (Wilson is Seattle's leading rusher with more yards than AA)

Quin over Earl Thomas or Malcolm Jenkins or Landon Collins

no on Thomas...he is the best safety in the game. Maybe on the other two

Prater over Zuerlein

No chance in hell. Zuerlein has been the best kicker by far. This one isn't even close.
