He lost 11-6 to the Rams, which was a scorigami!

If the Bert Emanuel catch is correctly ruled there's a good chance the Bucs have a mini dynasty giving way to the Patriots' reign. I'm still mad about that game.

I was so glad when Dilfer went down around week 10 and King got his chance. Pretty dire I know.

I wouldn't mind if they changed the pro bowl game to be only played once every five years instead of every year. And the players picked for it based on five full years instead of just one. To me that could add some prestige to the game. I know that they're not having it anymore as of right now. And also still lots of guys probably wouldn't want to do it. But there could be some spectacle in seeing the best players of a 5-year era as opposed to guys who might have just randomly had a good year.

But the big problem with the game is that the players don't really care about winning or losing it. So maybe instead of AFC vs NFC you might have it where the teams are over 30 years old vs under 30 years old. Or maybe 29 or 28 or wherever you need to put that so you have sort of evenly matched teams. Then the younger players will want to show they are better than the older guys that they might have idolized and maybe the older players want to show they still are the best. Or maybe even under 25 vs over 25. But that'd be harder to do the 5 year thing

They've nixed the game entirely this year it's basically field day now which sounds fun.

No it isnt. And even if it didnt work out at least they tried something different. I like the idea of a youth vs experience game. The icons of current football vs the up-and-comers. I think its a way better hook than afc vs nfc which nobodh cares about.

I know. I was just thinking about the game and how little interest it ever drew and wondered if there could be a way to maybe jazz it up and give it more intrigue. So dont have it every single year and have a better hook than afc vs nfc is what I thought of.

the thing you're missing is that nobody will ever give a poo poo about the pro bowl game because the results don't matter and everyone just wants to not get hurt, regardless of whatever "brilliant" scheme you think you've come up with

It could still be competitive while being less physical. And I think bringing back the field day stuff is a real cool idea too but it will also lose its luster after a year or two of doing it and nobody will care. Thats just how these things go.

People can get hurt doing anything even field days. Look at Robert Edwards. He was doing a flag football game and got hurt. Guys can get hurt doing anything even field day stuff like dodgeball. So why not every 5 years do an actual game.

Why is that? The world cup is every 4 years. I just think theres more intrigue in a game with the best players over a 5 year period instead of the best players from one year. Not everything has to be every year.

Because everything about it is meaningless. Just because you do it every 5 years doesn't bring some prestige to it.

Comparing the Pro Bowl to the World Cup is certainly a stretch.

The field day stuff is meaningless too. The point isnt to have "meaning" like an actual game but make it an attraction. And then other years could have other ideas like also have the field days every five years. And come up with other ideas for other years.

You want a youth vs experience game while also doing it once every 5 years in a sport where the average career is like 2 years.

The average career is 2 years because of low round draft picks and UDFAs who just barely make it into the league and don't get signed after their 3 year rookie deals or cut outright and not resigned. It wouldn't have any affect on this game because none of those guys would be in it.

That's one single position with a notoriously short lifespan and even then there are exceptions.

For most positions you can be one of the best at your position until around 35.

But it's about the performances over a 5-year period. Not just the top WRs from the year the game is played. But if it were 5 years ago and those guys had been the best over the last five years then maybe!
