The 1st Annual Toilet Bowlers

This weekend is Pro Bowl week in the NFL. Well, we here at the Ultimate Football Blog are sick and tired of only the "good" football players getting all the recognition at the end of the season. What about the guys who completely sucked this year? Where is the love for them? Where is their award show?

It's right here people. The Ultimate Football Blog is proud to announce the very first "TOILET BOWLERS" awards! While these guys were probably about as far away from making the Pro Bowl as possible, they still have a place in my heart for the utter garbage they showcased on the football field this year. We don't discriminate here at TUFB. We believe the shitty guys should get just as much as attention (if not more) than the good football players. They are likely the reason their respective teams suck (you will see that there are NO members of either team playing in the Super Bowl on this list), and they should either be cut or given a fair warning this off-season.

Anyways, to give you guys an idea of just how bad some of these guys were this season, I'm using ProFootballFocus.com's grades (by far THE best website for getting specific grades on each football player's individual performances on the field) to make things easier. If you aren't familiar with how PFF's grades work, it's actually really simple. It's basically just a simple +/- system. If a player is really good, they will have a high + number (for example, J.J. Watt finished the season with a PFF grade of +107.5 which is completely freaking ridiculous), and if a player is really bad, they will have a - grade (most of the guys on this list will have a negative grade of course.....). Got it? Understand it all or did I lose you somewhere? Oh well, there's pictures coming up and I'm sure I'll get your attention back then.

So without any further adieu......

Ladies and gents...........

Here is..............

(PS: I didn't do any kickers or punters because no one cares about kickers or punters....)

OK, sorry about that.............

For reals now.............
