Pro Bowl Voting Is Open
November 13th, 2018
Yes! Joe loves the Pro Bowl. Why? It’s football.
What fun it was last year with Kwon Alexander putting on a show with crushing hits in the rain that you’re sort of not supposed to deliver in the exhibition.
Fan voting is weighed with coaches and players votes to determine what players get in.
Others get the honor as alternates, as Kwon did last year when LB Bobby Wagner skipped the game for the NFC.
So have any Buccaneers earned your vote this year? You can vote as often as you like at NFL.com, and today Joe voted for Jason Pierre-Paul, who is tied for fourth in the NFC in sacks with eight.
Mike Evans got Joe’s vote, too. It hasn’t been Evans’ best season, but it still could be. He’s done a lot of great things and ranks eighth in the NFL in total receiving yards.
Will Gerald McCoy make his seventh consecutive Pro Bowl? His NFC teammates named him Pro Bowl captain last year.
The Pro Bowl is Sunday, January 27, in Orlando.

Invisible player with 6 straight Pro Bowls? Unreal! Now, that’s a voting conspiracy right there!
November 13th, 2018 at 11:54 am
How Gerald McCoy made 6 Pro Bowls will be covered in some 30-for-30 sports history episode 20 years from now.
Classic example of why the Pro Bowl is a joke

@JOE
Well played my friend. Well played. LOL … That weak MF! LOL! You mean to tell me you didn’t vote for Geraldine McBooty. I mean he has to get in. He gets quadruple teamed every play. Only if he had some help on the edge. Everyone would see what I’m talking about. LOL

It may be time for GMC to go. But at least 5 of his pro-bowls were well deserved for a fact. I know this is a..What have you done for me lately business, But GMC played well for us for quite a few years. Especailly during those losing seasons. I wish the guy well. Injuries have sort of taken over his playing days. He still can play. And he’s gonna give some team a boost. Just not us.
November 13th, 2018 at 11:57 am
Evans and JPP. That’s about it. No defender outside of JPP deserves this honor AND you could make the case that NO defender on the last ranked defense 3 years and counting (!) deserves the honor.

Horse teeth looking MF’R
November 13th, 2018 at 12:10 pm
JPP yes. M Evans not so sure. Maybe OJ Howard
November 13th, 2018 at 12:15 pm
I’d say JPP for sure. Evans should be perennially picked and OJ most def needs to get some love.
November 13th, 2018 at 12:32 pm
Man please……
November 13th, 2018 at 12:38 pm
M Evans, JPP, and maybe, O.J. Howard.
November 13th, 2018 at 12:54 pm
mccoy is the sidd finch of the nfl

Only Bucs deserving of the pro bowls are OJ and JPP.
November 13th, 2018 at 1:26 pm
Well, color me surprised. How could the so-called “Pro Bowler Jameis Winston” have missed getting Joe’s vote if he indeed believes that’s what he is? Was it a hanging chad?
Or is it because he is neither now, nor ever was a true Pro Bowler? After all, it only took 5 QBs turning down the honor for him for him to wind up there back in 2016.
SIXTH Alternate, high praise indeed. Yes, that was the same contest that also gave us Pro Bowler Tyrod Taylor. You can’t say he doesn’t deserve that moniker every bit as much as Tampa’s own, Der Wunderkind.
But actually he didn’t even deserve 6th alternate. Kirk Cousins totally outclassed him that year, but went under appreciated. Still, he was much better in every category that mattered: more passing yards than Winston (4,166 to 4,042), a higher completion percentage (69.8 percent compared to 58.3), more passing touchdowns (29 to 22), fewer interceptions (11 to 15) and a higher quarterback rating (101.6 to 84.2). Most importantly he led his team to 9 wins and a Division Championship, whereas Winston ended up with a double-digit loss season.
The ONLY reason he was able to snag that “coveted” 6th Alternate spot over a much better performing player… was because he was the #1 Draft Pick the previous Spring, coming into the NFL with much more fanfare than did Cousins, the fact that Winston (at that time) was the bigger name. In other words, pretty much the same reason that there remains a small, local (NOT national) faction of followers still enthralled with him, some even willing to confer upon him his nom de guerre.
Yes, Pro Bowler Tyrod Taylor and Pro Bowler Jameis Winston. Between them you’ve got a couple of backup-quality quarterbacks.

November 13th, 2018 at 1:37 pm
Humphries is our only pro bowler and maybe JPP, Evans.
November 13th, 2018 at 1:38 pm
Pro Bowl is a joke…Any player that mentions Pro Bowls without declaring a wish to win a Suoer Bowl is a downright fraudulent pro player. The next regime here needs to sift out the “money players” vs. “dedicated to the game players”, if such players exist anymore. Bednarik is rolling over in his grave….
November 13th, 2018 at 2:02 pm
JPP is the only one even in the conversation
November 13th, 2018 at 2:10 pm
Y’all better vote for JPP, if there is anyone on this team who deserves a Pro Bowl nod it’s him.
November 13th, 2018 at 2:11 pm
I’m sure I read that Gerald would be in the running for Defensive Player of the Year honors.
According to our super fabulous dline coach.
November 13th, 2018 at 2:12 pm
WHO CARES…..
November 13th, 2018 at 2:15 pm
^^ what he said.
November 13th, 2018 at 2:19 pm
I wonder how many votes Brenda Snipes will get?
November 13th, 2018 at 2:20 pm
I chuffed when I saw this pic and probowl together and under my breath said: ” GTFOH.”
November 13th, 2018 at 2:24 pm
when you are as dysfunctional as the bucs and are about to set the all time records for the worst defense of all time, no one deserves to be an usher at pro bowl much less participant.
November 13th, 2018 at 2:26 pm
LOL
@ DaPostman
dataintrightman!
prolly bout 2k
November 13th, 2018 at 2:30 pm
I’m sick of seeing McCoys picture. Just want him out of my face.
Last week was a game the I would love to expect great things from(game changing……game shattering) but he is already 2-5 years past those expectations.
Such a shame that as long as he’s been here he has never once met those expectations.
But he’s a Buc I’ll vote for him cause I know it makes him happy.
November 13th, 2018 at 2:32 pm
No one on this team deserves it at this point.
Maybe ME. OJ would if they used him as they should instead of limiting him to 3-4 targets too often. F*ck.
November 13th, 2018 at 2:35 pm
Only mike Evans and jpp deserve it
November 13th, 2018 at 2:36 pm
JPP…..
but i wouldnt vote for anyone…..
#NOEXCUSESIN2018!!!!…#PRESSURESONTHECOACHES!!!!!….GO BUCS!!!!
November 13th, 2018 at 2:42 pm
JPP and OJ, thats it. Evans has some of the worst hands I’ve seen.
November 13th, 2018 at 2:51 pm
I absolutely cannot get excited about an exhibition game…it’s not real football…they try NOT to hit. LOL
But I especially do not care about player honors when we have a team of chokers….er have a lack of concentration.
Our team does have some talent…alas none of it’s above the ears or in the chest cavity. When you have a group of heartless folks who don’t even take the time to pay attention when they’re out on the field….well just say there should be special awards for them.
November 13th, 2018 at 3:17 pm
I predict Santos will be pro-bowl kicker this time next year
November 13th, 2018 at 3:19 pm
“Evans has some of the worst hands I’ve seen.”
You sir are blind
November 13th, 2018 at 3:21 pm
^^ haha, no doubt. He hasn’t had the best couple of games, but Evans still kicks total ass and yes normally has a very reliable and great set of hands.
November 13th, 2018 at 3:26 pm
Evans, JPP and OJ are the only players that should get any votes this year.
November 13th, 2018 at 4:26 pm
Wait a second!!!!! I thought the sheep said that Jason licht “did his job”!!!!!!! The sheep said that the defense had all this talent!!!!!!! LoL!!!!!! Exposed again!!!!!!!!!! I tried to tell the sheep once again!!!!!!!!!!!
Its the ole “Realist Repost”!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Buc Realist Says:
September 14th, 2018 at 4:24 pm
Joe says:
“This D-line was built for immediate high-performance.”
Was it?????? 2 salary cut casualties and 3rd round draft pick trade and some expect “immediate high-performance”???????? We “real” fans think while it was upgraded, this is not a finish product!!!!! Its a work in progress!!!!!! And to think other wise is foolish!!!!!!!!!! or has an agenda against a certain coach??????
November 13th, 2018 at 5:10 pm
Look at that big fat softie, he look so happy. Just finished eating a bowl of ice cream
November 13th, 2018 at 5:31 pm
I voted for #14, he makes everyone play better!!! According to this Bucs fan base! & the players play harder for him….. SMH.
November 13th, 2018 at 5:53 pm
All Buc defensive players should be ineligible for the Pro Bowl in the year they set a record for defensive futility. As if it is a possibility…..come on Joe.
November 13th, 2018 at 6:13 pm
GMC hasn’t really done anything so far this year to warrant Pro Bowl selection. In the 7 games he’s played in this year, McCoy has 3 sacks, 12 QB hits, 3 TFL, 5 solo tackles, 8 tackle assists. VERY unimpressive for a guy making what, $13 mil this year? Carl Nassib (making $900K) has 4 sacks, 7 QB hits, 7 TFL, 9 solo tackles & 4 tackle assists in his 9 games. I’ll be very surprised if GMC doesn’t end up being a CAP casualty at the end of this year. His CAP hit alone is enough to ‘fund’ 2 quality FAs to replace him.
November 13th, 2018 at 6:48 pm
Batman is like having the zit that will never go away… pop it and pick it all you want but it’s still there. My God I can’t wait till this career loser just goes away.
November 13th, 2018 at 6:49 pm
The pro bowl is like politics. You vote for the players you want and the rest is only about name recognition. Since McCoy is best at finding the camera his name comes up a lot and it isn’t for his play on the field. More likely the outrageous outfits he wears before games.
November 13th, 2018 at 6:54 pm
He will have a great career in acting right after he appears on Dancing with the stars. New MTV series Money for nothing checks for free!
November 13th, 2018 at 7:59 pm
will vote for jpp maybe OJ even Hump but NOT Evans NOT GMC the effort, breakout etc is gone/missing
November 13th, 2018 at 8:36 pm
If you don’t vote for Jameis then you must be racist.
Right?
November 13th, 2018 at 9:49 pm
Jason Pierre-Paul, O.J. Howard, and Mike Evans get my vote.
November 14th, 2018 at 11:26 am
JPP and OJ Howard are the only ones who deserve it from this team.
November 14th, 2018 at 11:26 am
Maybe Hump too.
Not GMC or Evans though.
November 15th, 2018 at 2:14 pm
I gave the first three years . after that im going to hold you accountable Geraldini. There is no way you deserve the money your getting we had the two worst defense with him in there. He is the reason we have the worst defense the league again. People say he gets double teamed. it because the O-line put all of them to same spot. There should be no way he makes the pro-bowl after this year. If he does its a conspiracy.
