The Pro Bowl is here, and fans who tuned in to watch the game weren’t happy with the product on the field.
Early in the game, fans noticed that there was a serious lack of tackling from players who participated in this year’s game.
#ProBowl proving once again it’s really a defecto flag football game on this #pick6 return by Darius Leonard. Tackling is very limited #8NN #NFL pic.twitter.com/aCQnvYVxX1

Fans blasted the current version of the Pro Bowl that lacks tackling.
R they not tackling anymore in the Pro Bowl? I’m sorry but this isn’t football. I’ve played in this gm numerous times and I LOVE the NFL, but this is embarrassing

The level of tackling is embarrassing on that first drive.
Holy Crap I can’t believe it.
It’s 2 hand touch. #ProBowl— JT The Brick (@JTTheBrick) February 6, 2022
I want this Pro Bowl back. They aren’t even tackling now. pic.twitter.com/N6cHrXVqCA

#ProBowl is a mockery of the game. It's embarrassing! If you're going to play with no tackling just call it flag football!

No tackling in the NFL Pro Bowl. What freaking joke it’s become.

The #NFL #ProBowl is absolutely horrible to watch. No tackling, no effort, just awful. The NFL will never be able to make this enjoyable unless it means something. pic.twitter.com/ReV7Sge6z4

The Pro Bowl looks the least like the sport it is representing.
Both the NBA and MLB still look like basketball and baseball games.
They aren't even tackling in the Pro Bowl. Just name your team and don't play the game.
