Seahawks fans at least can watch the Pro Bowl this year

Sure, there are Seahawks who make the Pro Bowl every year. Most years, though, they only show up after a playoff loss. This season, 12s can relax and not see the Pro Bowl as sadness.

The Seahawks currently have five players who play in the Pro Bowl the week before the Super Bowl. I really don’t mean this article to sound sarcastic or sad, either, by the way. Would I love to not care at all about the Pro Bowl? Sure! But this year has simply been different. And I still want to see some Seattle football.

Normally every postseason, I am holding my breath that no Seattle people are playing an exhibition game prior to the Big Game. Twice recently, the Seahawks have gotten to avoid the Pro Bowl. This year, there is no drama. Seattle’s season is done. Due to injury or the offensive line or Darrell Bevell…whatever. But I can still watch some Seahawks play football.

OK, this does make me a bit sad. I have never really been one to watch the Pro Bowl. Playoff games are more important. But this year, screw it! I am watching.

And I am watching because Bobby Wagner and Russell Wilson and Jimmy Graham (probably representing Seattle for the last time) and Doug Baldwin and Mr. Earl Thomas will be playing. And maybe by the time the game comes around there will be a few others. Like Tyler Lockett.

Wagner has been a Pro Bowler for four consecutive years.

Wilson has made it four times too.

Baldwin is making it for his second straight year. (How the heck did he miss in 2015?!)

ET III has made is six times (read: future Hall of Famer).

This is Graham’s second Pro Bowl with Seattle and fifth overall.

The game is played on January 28th in sunny Orlando, Florida.
