They're trying to make Willis look like a normal human being. That's alright, we all know he's abnormal.

Let the bigger numbers be a reminder of the awesome suckage of Hostler's offense. If it weren't for him, Patrick would be on the sidelines resting.

The NFL is the official stat. The 226 respresent what the 49ers counted off of watching the game (whether that number is correct or not is debatable). Some of his tackles may not be credited to him, only the team can ask the league to correct this which is not going to happen. Nonetheless the stat is more meaningful to fans and FF players than it is to anyone else. The stat we want to be looking at is W's. I don't care if Willis leads the league in tackles or not so long as we are getting W's.

Protest over.

Actually, neither is the official stat. Tackles is an officially kept stat so the "unofficial" stat is 174 and the Niners have 226. There will be no correction because its not an officially tracked stat.

Counting tackles was one of them.

So willis got to the probowl on his int for td, lol since tackles don't count

No he got to the probowl based on popularity. The probowl is a popularity contest not a performance reward
