Why did Bledsoe get 90.000 Pro Bowl votes?

[OpIv37]

I'm definitely not amongst the Bledsoe- haters on this board, but I can't argue with the fact that he's had a pathetic season. We can argue about the reasons for it (and usually do)- he's old, he was never that good, it was the O-line's fault, it was Gilbride's fault.... But the point is that his play was horrific this year. Why would anyone vote for him to go to the Pro Bowl?

Bledsoe received over 90,000 votes- more than Henry, Winfield, Gash, and numerous other Bills who contributed far more to the team's limited victories.

How do you think Reuben got in 8 straight years?

people need to learn to think for themselves- anyone who watches Sportscenter more than once a week should know that these two guys didn't put up this year.

There very well could be no Bills in the Pro Bowl this year.

Wouldn't bother me any- the only offensive player who was consistent was Henry, and unfortunately for him Portis and Holmes had incredible seasons.

The D was good but the players kind of rotated- none of them were consistently dominant.

The only one who should be automatic is Moorman.

Because 90,000 of those votes came from the NFC fans.. They want to win the ProBowl this year..

Can you vote more than once?

If so, it was probably like 3 losers voting for Bledsoe 30,000 times each.
