AFC Championship Game: With Patriots Win Andy Dalton, Geno Atkins, Jermaine Gresham Head To Pro Bowl

Congratulations to the Patriots and to Cincinnati Bengals rookie quarterback Andy Dalton, second-year defensive lineman Geno Atkins and tight end Jermaine Gresham on their upcoming trip to the 2012 NFL Pro Bowl. Both Dalton and Atkins were alternates for the Pro Bowl and since the Patriots beat the Ravens in the AFC Championship game, quarterback Tom Brady and defensive tackle Vince Wilfork will be too busy preparing to play in Super Bowl XLVI so Dalton and Atkins will take their spots. Tight end Jermaine Gresham is going to the Pro Bowl due to the fact that both Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez are playing in the Super Bowl and Owen Daniels is injured.
This is the first time that the Bengals will have at least three players (the other is rookie wide receiver A.J. Green) in the Pro Bowl since the 2006 season when Chad Johnson, Willie Anderson and Deltha O'Neal represented Cincinnati. Andy Dalton will play alongside Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers, Geno Atkins will play with Haloti Ngata and Richard Seymour, Jermaine Gresham will be playing with Antonio Gates, and A.J. Green will be playing with Mike Wallace and Brandon Marshall.
Congratulations to Andy, Geno, Jermaine and A.J. and I hope you represent Cincinnati well.

I love seeing Raven fans cry
On other sites about the refs and the fact that they thought Evans catch was a td. That was a td and Greshams wasnt? What a whiney fan base.

Good for those two, well deserved...........
and what was up with that explanation of Davis’ TD? Can’t the ref just say, “The ruling on the field stands.”

I love it
The ref should have to tell why he made a decision on the replays

WHO DEY
Occupy Hawaii. Geno deserved to be there in the first place. Karma knows what’s up ;-)

I thought they moved it
to the warmer weather states, too much money to get everyone to Hawaii if I remember correctly
personally
I don’t want to see Marvin fired, I want him to be promoted to G.M. while handing the reigns over to Zimmer as head coach and hiring Jack Del Rio as Defensive Coordinator. Who Dey!!!

It works when the SB is in Miami/NO.
Players will go there. Indy and other places? Players won’t. Having the Pro Bowl the week before is something they should have done years ago.
Notice no defensive players?
4guys from offense what do you think the Bengals will do in the first round? RB and WR?
Then the offense would be loaded like at S&W model 19 with a .357 load.
Not what I think they should do, but it’s very possible.
Geno Atkins moved to OL?
Or fullback?

Apparently I posted this on the wrong post...
but per Hobson, Dalton is the oldest of our 4 Pro-Bowlers. Future is bright indeed.
that is amazing
If these guys continue to get better, dalton progresses, green keeps doing what he does, and gresh gets involved more, this team can be a top 10 offense.

Ok my mistake mixing a response with a bottle of wine.
But……point remains they have an offense nearly set with weapons.
Congrats to Dalton, Atkins and Gresham!
Well done boys!!!!!
wow gronk and hernandez were ahead of Gresham..
good year for TE’s
Karma, a.k.a. Gresham, Justice
By how the declining NFL refs performance states you just might have to have the ball for three seconds in the end zone to be a touchdown. Unless, of course you are the Gronk (previous week TD), who can fall out of bounds and the ball wiggle for playoff TD’s. A teams market value must have a direct corelation to how firmly refs see calls.
The NFL wanted to see the NY and Boston markets in this thing. (not an accusing statement)

that Gronk play was close
but he did have his hand underneath the ball…which is allowed by rule..Gresh did not have it under the ball completely…The call is correct….the rule is terrible…I am with you on the “superstar calls”…sort of like the NBA…Kobe is going to get calls that other guys wont get…same with Brady/Rogers….
