mitchmurraydowntown Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 I thought they called a good game, I could actually listen to them & they almost immediately repeated things I was saying within seconds. Game this week being on Fox is a blessing, I don't like CBS' TV crew.
infernus Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 They seemed to miss a few names of our players (notably the rbs/fb) but other than that did a good job... called out the refs on some of those egregious calls/picked up flags
26CornerBlitz Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 I thought they called a good game, I could actually listen to them & they almost immediately repeated things I was saying within seconds. Game this week being on Fox is a blessing, I don't like CBS' TV crew. Sam Rosen is primarily a hockey guy as the New York Rangers play-by-play man. He's not a very good football announcer IMO. Barber was okay as the color guy and Jennifer Hale.....meh like most sideline reporters.
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 scrub to scrub, or A list vs A list? I thought they called a good game, I could actually listen to them & they almost immediately repeated things I was saying within seconds. Game this week being on Fox is a blessing, I don't like CBS' TV crew. I actually think they did a meh job. but with that boring 2nd and 3rd quarters ..... well ,,,, maybe you are right
mitchmurraydowntown Posted October 6, 2014 Author Posted October 6, 2014 They called the game without any Collinsworth type stories about how smart they are & we as fans are not. Barber also mentioned that he knew Mike Williams & talked about him briefly, without coming across as a know it all. I liked these guys, just MO.
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 I find the FOX guys homers. All they seem to know is NFC teams and could know or care less about the AFC, (I suppose that may be true if you are an NFC diehard).
nucci Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 The only thing I noticed was Barber called out the refs on the bad calls. No one else usually does.
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 The only thing I noticed was Barber called out the refs on the bad calls. No one else usually does. when it's that obvious, I believe I've heard CBS call them out. most mundane plays they won't. give them a game changer and they will.
sodbuster Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 I like the Fox announcers but their graphics and their colors suck. It always looks like they're shooting the game through a tinted lens.

Game this week being on Fox is a blessing, I don't like CBS' TV crew. Hell of lot better than Steve Tasker or Rich Gannon
mitchmurraydowntown Posted October 6, 2014 Author Posted October 6, 2014 Way way better than Tasker / Gannon.
SageAgainstTheMachine Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 I like the Fox announcers but their graphics and their colors suck. It always looks like they're shooting the game through a tinted lens. I'm glad somebody else noticed this. Over the years, I think my eyes have picked up on subtleties that make NFC football seem like a different entity than AFC football.

All they seem to know is NFC teams and could know or care less about the AFC, (I suppose that may be true if you are an NFC diehard). It certainly seemed like a Suh and Golden Tate love fest to me as well. But besides that I thought they were much better. Edited October 6, 2014 by Mark80

Barber was okay as the color guy and Jennifer Hale.....meh like most sideline reporters. He's the Rangers announcer and IMO one of the very best....at hockey that is.
26CornerBlitz Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 He's the Rangers announcer and IMO one of the very best....at hockey that is. I agree.
Jauronimo Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 I prefer CBS' coverage. Picture is brighter and their personalities are less grating. Can't stand Joe Buck, Siragusa and their pre-game, post-game act with Terry and Co. is irritating. Fox's gimmicks are unbearable. But there's robots so thats just embarrassing.
SageAgainstTheMachine Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 (edited) It certainly seemed like a Suh and Golden Tate love fest to me as well. But besides that I thought they were much better. Well, they were arguably the two best players on the field Sunday. It was Tate, Watkins, Dareus and Suh in some order. Edited October 6, 2014 by SageAgainstTheMachine
Mark80 Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 Well, they were arguably the two best players on the field Sunday. It was Tate, Watkins, Dareus and Suh in some order. Barber was proclaiming Golden Tate to be just like Hines Ward before the game even started. Hines Ward is a H.O.F. caliber player, Golden Tate has never had more than 900 yards in a season up to this point.
CardinalScotts Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 fox pushes the NFC team usually obvious but honestly yesterday was a somewhat broadcast
