Congrats to Geno on Pro Bowl Selection

[Forever Spinning Vinyl]

He's been almost completely useless against the run and only has 4.5 sacks. He had a rare stop for a loss two or three weeks ago and the Bengal fan at the Sports bar where I watch was all wide eyed exclaiming "WOOOOOOW!!! You don't see that from Geno very often!"

He has no one pushing him.

[Bilbo Saggins]

Long live Geno Atkin!

He was voted in by the players not the fans.

Anyway, here's aquestion: how many Pro Bowls do you need to be a HoF lock?

Am I right in thinking there are a couple of guys who got to nine but not Canton?

Geno hasn't had his best year, but he deserves to make it on rep just like all the other players on other teams who make it on rep.

[THE PISTONS]

The fans appear smarter than coaches and players:

Geno Atkins was not in the top 10 of fan voting for defensive tackles, but had enough support from players and coaches to be selected to his 8th Pro Bowl in his 10th season.

That’s the most ever by a #Bengals defensive player, and second most behind OT Anthony Muñoz (11)

Good for Geno. He's set the bar high in the past & still solid most days now.

Weather getting by on past rep or not, congrats Geno!

Agreed, he still was very disruptive this season even if he didn't stack up the sacks.

Congrats to Geno. Dunlap deserves it more though this season IMO.

Brandon Wilson should make it as a Returner...

Wilson was I think 2nd alternate. Agreed he should have made it.

Mixon was I think 5th alternate.

Last I heard Wilson was the best Kick Returner in the NFL, should be the #1 in the Pro Bowl.

Mixon is on a roll right now, will be interesting how the last couple games go if he can go over 1000 yards again.

Think he will.

He's at 925 yards now.

Easy Peezy.

[masonbengals fan]

I'd be surprised if he doesn't go past 1000

Could by halftime against the Phins.

Cause most of us just follow the ball.

Honestly...1000 yards isn't some great achievement in 16 games. Don't get me wrong...it's nice...but it's 62.5 yards a game over 16 games.

True, especially when you are the main back that gets all the carries but...

Behind this Line it is an accomplishment.

You’re something else lol

It isn't. It's 62.5 yards a game.

In Mixon's case, it's impressive because he did it all in basically 8 games and behind a bad line. Had he ran at this pace all year, he might have had 1600 yards.

I'd love to see him go to an actual good team with a good offensive line and see what he was capable of. But, he'll waste his prime years here...like so many others.

But, 1000 yards in a season for a back isn't some great barometer. This year, there are already 10 guys over 1000 yards. Chubb has 1408 yards.

Mixon is averaging 66.1 ypg and 4.0 yards per carry. 31st in yards per carry.

1000 yds is a good season for a RB in the modern pass happy NFL. No one is saying it’s “great.”

I agree with that.
