I hope they never put the Pro Bowl before the Super Bowl ever again. It was terrible. Barely any of the good players played, and dont even get me started on David Garrard as a pro bowler? Jesus.
Thoughts?

I don't think the time of the game was the problem. I actually liked the move by the NFL to move the game to before the Super Bowl. The NFL recognized under status quo the game had become meaningless.
The problem with the Pro Bowl isn't what time the game is, it's the game itself. Players just aren't going to be willing to put their already beaten up bodies on the line for an exhibition game. Hence you essentially get a glorified preseason game.
I'm really not sure what else the NFL could do at this point to remedy the problem other then just getting rid of the game altogether. Clearly the players aren't going to take the game seriously for reasons that cannot be worked around, and as long as that happens you won't actually get a good game, so I don't know what else the NFL can do.
Yeah, I agree with that too. I feel the only all-star game worthwhile to watch is MLB since players are actually playing like a regular game to get home-field advantage for the world series.

I watched a little bit of it. It's really hard to get into a football game where on the PAT try, maybe half the defense will actually come forward. The rest just stand there, and hold up their arms.
I like the move of putting it before the Super bowla nd i think it will help but it was a joke. I think they should just get rid of it cause by the end of a 16 game season all the guys bodies are already beaten up enough they don't want to play a game and risk getting hurt even though they add in the bull **** rules which i hate. If your going to have the game let them play it
