vs. 
2012 NFL Pro Bowl
American Football Conference vs. National Football Conference
Sunday, January 29th, 2012 | 7:00 PM EM | TV: NBC
Well, I can't imagine a more meaningless Pro Bowl from a Patriots perspective in recent history. The last time the Patriots made the Super Bowl, in 2007-08, the Pro Bowl was still played the week after the championship. Now, with the game being played the week between the Conference Championships and the Super Bowl, and with the Patriots set to take on the Giants a week from today in Super Bowl XLVI, there aren't many storylines to cover from a Patriots perspective.
Of course, the Patriots did have eight players initially named to the Pro Bowl: Tom Brady, Rob Gronkowski, Vince Wilfork, Logan Mankins, Brian Waters, Wes Welker, Matt Slater, and Andre Carter. Those players have all been replaced.
Hey, but at least we are finally getting some more football. Sort of. If you can call it "football."

Incredible deffense on both sides
these guys would give the pats secondary a run for their money
GFY
This game is sad.
I wish Jared Allen or Jason Babin would just go all out and get like 9 sacks in the second half.
It matters not how strait the gate, nor charged with punishments the scroll:
I am the Master of my fate. I am the Captain of my soul.
Anyone think the rules flashed at the beginning of the game were similar to the Patriots' defensive philosophy early on?
No press coverage except inside five yard line
No blitzing
Only 4-3 base defense
I kid, of course.
