The New England Patriots are 11-3 on the season and seem to be on their way to earning yet another first-round bye in the playoffs, but only three of their players notched Pro Bowl selections this season.

Those three players were cornerback Stephon Gilmore, linebacker Dont'a Hightower, and special teamer Matthew Slater.

Numerous other Patriots players had a legitimate argument to make the cut, including linebacker Kyle Van Noy, who seemed to express his displeasure for the lack of Pats representation on Twitter:

Through 14 games this season, Van Noy has logged 47 tackles, 6.5 sacks, three forced fumbles, a couple of fumble recoveries and a defensive touchdown.

Van Noy, who played his collegiate football at BYU, was originally selected by the Detroit Lions in the second round (40th pick overall) of the 2014 NFL Draft.

He received only limited playing time over his first couple of seasons, accumulating just 13 tackles in 2014 and 2015 combined. The Lions then traded Van Noy to New England midway through the 2016 campaign, and since arriving in Foxborough, he has flourished.

In his first full season with the Patriots in 2017, Van Noy registered 73 tackles and 5.5 sacks, and last year, the 28-year-old finished with 93 tackles, 3.5 sacks, a forced fumble, a pair of fumble recoveries and a defensive score.

New England's defense has been thoroughly dominant this season, so Van Noy may have a legitimate beef in wondering why more Pats players (particularly on the defensive end) were not selected to the Pro Bowl.

However, the Patriots certainly have bigger fish to fry as they aim for their second straight Super Bowl title.
