Pro Bowl is BS anyhow.  Fact that Smith and Joseph didn't make it is proof it's a joke.

Fuck the individual popularity award, EARN the big TEAM award at the end of the season.

Nobody remembers probowlers, but they all remember Champions....

They didn't make it because they were 8-8 last year and "supposed" to be nothing more than runner-ups for the darling of the league in our division. Could have twice as many on the roster next year, even if their record is not as good.

Vikings safety Harrison Smith left off Pro Bowl rosterNot that anyone should get too worked up over Pro Bowl selections, but leaving off Harrison Smith is beyond comprehension.

On Tuesday night, the NFL announced Pro Bowl rosters, which included Vikings Xavier Rhodes, Everson Griffen, Adam Thielen and Anthony Barr.

Clearly the four selected are deserving. Rhodes has matched up with – and shut down – the likes of Antonio Brown, Julio Jones and AJ Green this year. Griffen is one of the league’s fourth leading sacker with 13.0 on the season. Thielen is fifth in receiving yards. And Barr has had a bounce-back year, playing a role in the Vikings slowing down opponents’ running and short passing games.
But Smith is the centerpiece to Mike Zimmer’s defense. He ranks No. 1 by Pro Football Focus ratings among all safeties. His 64 tackles and three interceptions don’t begin to define his value to the No. 2 ranked defense in the NFL. Smith is one of the most versatile defenders in the league, lining up at linebacker, deep safety and slot corner throughout a given game.
Smith’s interception against the Chicago Bears set up the Vikings’ game-winning field goal. Against the Packers he picked up 1.5 sacks and an interception.
The Vikings’ 2012 first-round pick did appear in the Pro Bowl in both 2015 and 2016.
Nose tackle Linval Joseph was also left off the list. He ranks 13th among all NFL defensive tackles, but third by PFF ratings among NFC nose tackles.
Joseph has 3.5 sacks and 36 tackles this season while heading up one of the league’s elite run defenses.

The fact that Case, Harry, and Linval aren't on there is a joke. Case outplayed Wilson all year.

Oh no, they might have an extra chip on their shoulders now...

I like how Thielen said he had to take everything one day at a time. We have so many players on this team who had to work to be where they are. I think it is a big part of our success. Easy to not look to far ahead. Just get the next job done and not take it for granted. Love the personality of this team.

No Reiff is also complete BS...

No Reiff, Harry or Linval?  Seriously?  

McCoy over Linval?  WTF?!
Collins is the best defensive player on one of the worst defenses in the league vs the MVP of the leagues best defense
