I'm not as certain about Luke this year.

If he goes, it's probably on reputation.

(and Lord knows that happens a lot with the Pro Bowl)

He may be less of a lock this year than before, and his reputation will definitely get him plenty of extra votes, but I still think he's deserving despite a relative down year. We've been spoiled by how unbelievable he has been his entire career. Even in a down year, he's 6th in the NFL in tackles, with the only players ahead of him having played 1 extra game. He's also tied for the most interceptions by a linebacker in the NFC. And when you factor some of the intantibles like his leadership and ability to diagnose plays before the snap, that's got to be worth at least a backup middle linebacker spot in the NFC. I think McCaffrey and Bradberry are more deserving this year but would be very surprised if Luke didn't make it as well.

      All I can say is... I have some happiness off the rags choking and losing to the Panthers. Hopefully the Western conference team wins the Stanley cup, but now I can be 100% uninvested in the playoffs

      Yep. It was an obvious red flag that a lot of people ignored. The results/scores in preseason don’t matter, but individual performance very much does and individually, we looked like the least talented team in the league and it carried over.

      Sorry, but in 2015, we didn’t look like poo to the extent of 2023. People who said it’s just preseason were completely wrong. Simple as that. 2015 was a veteran lead team. It was Cam’s 5th year and Luke’s 4th. Even our OL was 80% the same (added Oher) as the great run to finish 2014 with a playoff win. That year can be labeled as preseason doesn’t matter because I’m sure we rested vets and well, Ron/Mike weren’t putting in special plays, etc. I absolutely don’t recall a bunch of us saying that Turner was getting killed on one on ones or that Luke was completely out of position or that Norman was hurt again but probably fine. The only thing that was right about the 2023 preseason is that the minority of us who saw it, were correct that we A) should have been making Young and others play 100% of the reps as there was nothing to hide and B) the preseason means nothing was a bunch of BS trying to stay optimistic when it was obvious that we had way less good talent than the rest of the NFL.
