HawkeyeJet Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 So what does everyone think of the change now that a good chunk of the experience has been viewed? I will say that I have never cared about the pro bowl. Even as a kid I didn’t really watch it. I haven’t even attempted watching it in probably 15 years if not more. I’ll also add that I watch the MLB All Star game and HR Derby, NBA skills stuff, and enjoy those to certain degrees. I didn’t watch everything on Thursday and might tune in for some this afternoon, which I guess is a win for the NFL as I wouldn’t have given a seconds thought to watching the old game format. What say you? Overall I’m still indifferent at best, not interested at worst. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drums Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 I've probably watched like 2-3 Pro Bowls in my entire life. This new format has piqued my interest more, especially the skills contest (not sure if that's always been a thing or not). They'll have to get more creative than dodgeball every year though. They basically already played flag football so this will be an upgrade in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
56mehl56 Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Nope, don't care . All star games in all sports are a farce. If you want to award the players , simply send them on a full paid vacation rather than having them compete in some bogus half hearted events, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt39 Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 I’d be interested if they were having real competitions. There seems to be some sort of water balloon toss going on right now. Fragile egos won’t allow guys to compete in events we’d care about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Harris Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 I’ll casually tune in this year, wouldn’t do that with the farce of a game previous years. It’s an improvement for me and glad nobody’s gonna get hurt. The events remind me of the wide world of sports back in the day except no Heather locklear running in slo mo.

Nixhead Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 At least the skill players can go all out in a game of flag football as long as the format of the game doesn’t ruin that aspect of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heymangold Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 i'm tired of all the "all star" games. they're not fun to watch and boring. zero effort given at all. makes no sense to have them anymore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawkeyeJet Posted February 5, 2023 Author Share Posted February 5, 2023 I will say this, I am watching with my son right now and it’s the dodgeball games. He seems to like it, and the main thing I have seen is that the players seem to be taking this way more seriously than I would have anticipated and their competitive nature takes over way more in this setting than I ever saw in an actual pro bowl game. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdoublee Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 It's kinda dumb but for some reason I still have it on. I like seeing Sauce in the mix.... He's gonna end up being the most marketable star player we've had since Broadway Joe. Sent from my Pixel 7 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My kids loved the dodgeball and the precision passing contest. They both play flag, so are actually excited about watching the game later today. It is funny seeing how competitive these guys get playing dodgeball - Sauce was totally into it, and lobbying the refs for calls. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darnold's Forehead Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 At the rate we are going, players selected to the pro bowl will be competing against each other in video games in 3 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleedin Green Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 I'm indifferent to it regardless. Don't blame the players at all for not wanting to play another real game, and it was always unbelievably half-assed anyway. Not sure if anyone really cares at all about the new stuff, but honestly this is one thing the NFL should just be willing to concede to the players on, and let them decide how they'd actually like to enjoy the Pro Bowl. Of course I'm sure their only reason for not doing that is they keep trying to come up with ways to still make money during their "week off" which is the only real reason for it. At bare minimum they're still pulling in more ad revenue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bla bla bla Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 I like the banter with the players the most. As a golfer, it would be pretty fun to watch each team make a 4some or 2some and play a scramble. I think guys would get rowdy since it's not as serious as an actual round of golf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy 2 Times Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 I used to watch it religiously, but haven't since they moved it to before the Super Bowl. Probably because we never have any skills players in it anymore. Hard to get hyped for an exhibition when your only players are a center or corner. It was always one last chance to watch Toon, Walker, Shuler, McNeil, Key, or Curtis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trotter Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Went to the last one in hawaii. gotta tell you had a great time and while you simply do t care so much for the game,the players generally seemed to be having a great time in hawaii. michael Bennett in full uniform doing the hula with 20 dancers during a break had you about to wet your pants. it’s a shame the nfl followed the money as usual and took the game out of there. not a great watch on tv but if you live in cold weather and watch the scenes from hawaii - you could dream Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
