Congrats to Troy P. Seriously. I like the guy.

The thing is, CM3 will have about 15 more chances to win one. And yes, he'll get one.

I like Troy too, and am happy for him.

And I'm almost glad Clay didn't get this. Now he can come out angry in the Superbowl and prove with every sack and hit that maybe, just maybe, people should have voted differently.

---

My EXACT sentiments. 😃

as others said, it's hard to argue against Troy.

However, I like the timing of this. The Steelers had some bulletin board material, or at least "extra motivation" when the Packers were listed as the favorites by 2.5 points, so maybe this is the "slight" to give the Packers' defense a chip on their shoulder.

The fact that Polamalu had 17/50 and Matthews had 15/50, that shows how even this DPOY was across the board, and that it was not by any means a runaway.

IMO.. this wasn't Clay's year to win.

That is not saying he isn't in the discussion, but with as many nicks he has played with and the effect that it had on his play.. he didn't do enough game in and out to win the award.

Personally, I didn't see a better players that had more of an impact on their defenses and how the opposition dealt with him than Cameron Wake. But being on a losing team that offense failed them.. he wasn't going to get the nod that he should have.

Congrats to The Hair.. heck of a player and should be in the conversation as well.

Polamalu had an excellent season and he's a top-flight player, no doubt. That said, IMO he isn't even the best safety in the AFC North.

---

If you're insinuating Ed Reed is, maybe he should get out of the hot tub and get back on the field then.

I hope this hamstring issue doesn't continue plague Matthews. I really hope he shuts down after the super bowl and rests.

I'm Okay with Troy getting it.
I really didn't expect a Packers player to win it two years in a row.
