No Byrd on Pro Bowl Ballot

by fearloathing13 on Nov 16, 2009 11:16 AM EST Comment 9 comments

In my joy of reading about the Pats losing last night I see the Pro Bowl Ballots are now up. I began filling out the ballot giving my votes to any one who doesn't play for the Giants, Pats or any other team I do not like and I get to the Free Safety section with the joy of actually picking a Bill. I scroll through it and Byrd's name isn't on the list and there is no write in section. As the main and some times only bright spot this season Byrd deserves the recognition.

So I come here to look for help. I am wondering if any one has suggestions as to how to get his name on the list. Thanks for the time and remember vote for Manning and keep Brady off your ballot.

Pro Bowl QBs for AFC…Manning, Palmer…unfortunately buddy, probably Brady

As for Byrd… someone has to know how to help… should we just start writing his name on an index card and every Bills fand send it by mail just to get the message out?

Good Luck With Your Firings Mr. Wilson….Go Bills!

Unfortunately I have to agree with you about Brady. I just don’t want him to get any of my votes or votes from any other Bills fans. Hopefully posts like this will get the league’s attention and they will add him on or at least add a write in section.

Thats because the ProwBowl is a joke

Byrd should def make it if he has the most picks in the league but they will give it to some other dude that has more recognition. They do it every year. Seriously, jason peters? someone saw that he had a good year and he will probably make it for the next 10 years cuz his name is jason peters. That happened with Ruebin Brown. He was def deserving when he was younger, but as he got older, he jumped offsides all the time and was not very solid but still made it every year until he left the Bills. Same with Philip Rivers last year, he got shafted. Byrd should be in, but he won’t, even if he has 14 picks this year. Anyone know the record for picks in a season?

I’m still laughing at Brett “INT” Favre getting in last season.

Bills fan? In Colorado? It's more likely than you think.

14 by Dick "Night Train" Lane.

It was in his rookie season of ‘52. They only played 12 games back then. However, interceptions were more common back then. If he gets 14, I don’t think it’s any less of a feat. That’s the only thing we have left to root for this year.

It is not going to happen. Tim Graham wrote last week in his AFC East chat that the Pro Bowl ballots were based on guys who were starting at the beginning of the year. The only way he makes it is through write-ins. That means the coaches and players because there are no write-ins on the fan ballot. They make up the majority of the voting anyways.

Well that sucks. Does explain why Jackson was on and I didn’t see Lynch. Byrd has been playing well enough so that the coaches and players won’t overlook him.
