You, sir, are an asshole.

That was good. You are still an asshole though!

Check out all those votes that neither Revis nor Woodson got. Give me a break.

Was thinking about this, as well

At least most of those votes are justifiable, but how on earth does Jared Allen get 6 votes? 7.5 off his sacks came again the Packers, leaving just 8 for the rest of the season.

I know he's been facing a lot of double teams, which allowed Ray Edwards to get open quite a bit more, but he really hasn't had his greatest season this year.

Dumervil cooled of a little towards the end of the year, as well, but if you want to go for a DE/OLB, he's the only choice this year, if you ask me.

Maybe Dwight Freeney.

I don't know why so many people consider it to be a negative that Allen got so many of his sacks against the Packers. That should go in the plus column for him, not the minus column. It's bad enough to take away a player's two best games, as most guys with big sack numbers have a couple of monster games during the course of the year. But when those two games happen to be the two most important games of the season, it really doesn't make any sense at all.

Having said that, I will say that I don't see him as a good candidate for DPOY. He had a very good season, but others did better.

I'm not saying that you should just take those two games away, but I do think that it should be noted that this was against the Packers O-line in the first half of the season.

I mean, we made Ogunleye look like one of the best DEs in the league, we pretty much made Odom the AFC Defensive player of the month, we gave up 5 sacks to the Lions' 2nd string team, while their first string guys couldn't even get pressure on the most teams.

If he doesn't get to play the Packers offensive line of the first half of the season TWICE, he'd probably be at 10 sacks, the same total as Matthews who wasn't a starter at the beginning of the year and wasn't even the best rookie this year. Not that that's a bad year (it's a very good year), but it's not defensive player of the year material.
