bills_fan_in_raleigh Posted October 17, 2016 Posted October 17, 2016 This is why I listen to murph and Kelso. Murph makes mistakes but rather listen to the, than any announcers on TV
26CornerBlitz Posted October 18, 2016 Posted October 18, 2016 @TBNSports .@NFLonFox announcers won't be sending #Bills-#49ers tape to the Hall of Fame. @StillTalkinTV: http://bit.ly/2dWU6gr
snafu Posted October 18, 2016 Posted October 18, 2016 Maybe they should brink back Sam Rutigliano to work with Stockton.

dulles Posted October 18, 2016 Posted October 18, 2016 His Stock has dropped a ton. What's the big Diehl?
Overseas Bills Fan Posted October 18, 2016 Posted October 18, 2016 I think its time for Fox Play by Play man Dick Stockton to retire. He made some pretty egregious announcement errors today in the Bills game...among them: 1) Called 49ers coach Chip Kelly Jim Kelly. 2) Called Bills backup QB EJ Manuel Eli Manuel 3) Said the Bills had the biggest lead of the game with a 12 point margin when they were up 22. 4) Said the Bills lost 5 yards on a play when they actually gained a yard but started at 1st and 15 instead of 1st and 10 because of a 12 men in the huddle penalty to start the 3rd quarter. And he had about 6 or 7 other terrible spot calls throughout the game... I realize they have spotters who tell them the down and distance after the play, and that guy deserves to be fired too because he is terrible as well, but Stockton screwed up plenty all on his own, lmao... He needs to ride off into the sunset... Anything is better than Joe Buck, Cris Collingsworth and Troy Aikman.
What a Tuel Posted October 18, 2016 Posted October 18, 2016 I think its time for Fox Play by Play man Dick Stockton to retire. He made some pretty egregious announcement errors today in the Bills game...among them: 1) Called 49ers coach Chip Kelly Jim Kelly. Damn him, I've always thought this was in my head!!!
plenzmd1 Posted October 18, 2016 Posted October 18, 2016 Damn, was going to say Stockton may be past his prime but at least he gets to go home to Lesley Visier..but looked it up and they divorced a few years back. Always thought he way outkicked his coverage on her...
Chuck Wagon Posted October 18, 2016 Posted October 18, 2016 Stockton is getting old and makes plenty of mistakes, but there are much worse than him drawing much better assignments. I think Phil Simms and Aikman are both terrible, they add very little in the way of insight and are their respective network's top guys. Phil's struggles with pronunciation are ridiculous (thank god the Bingals can only play Dinver once per year.) Aikman appears borderline punch drunk often and doesn't appear to know much about the NFL outside of the NFC East & the Packers. Gruden's overwhelming praise got tired a decade ago. I really enjoyed Bob Papa and Mayock in the early days of Thursday night football. I think Mayock is one of the best.
dib Posted October 18, 2016 Posted October 18, 2016 Diehl could have been worse, if that is possible. I grew tired of Diehl "mentioning" that he played in the NFL. OK I get it you played football.
Utah John Posted October 18, 2016 Posted October 18, 2016 Imagine a concert by a great pianist, who hits a few wrong notes over the course of 3 or 4 hours. Do you remember the beautiful music, or the wrong notes? Probably both. Stockton is still a very good announcer, with a great voice and a sense of what to say and not to say. Much better in this regard than a lot of the CBS announcers the Bills games often get. Some mistakes, sure, and they stood out to me too. I don't hear his games that often to know if this is a trend or an aberration.
papazoid Posted October 18, 2016 Posted October 18, 2016 something is not right....too many mistakes....probably old age issues catching up with him.
26CornerBlitz Posted October 18, 2016 Posted October 18, 2016 Damn, was going to say Stockton may be past his prime but at least he gets to go home to Lesley Visier..but looked it up and they divorced a few years back. Always thought he way outkicked his coverage on her... I always thought she was meh. To each his own.
CardinalScotts Posted October 18, 2016 Posted October 18, 2016 ya Stockton is bad but it seems like most of the Fox side of things try to push the NFC team. I watched the game again yesterday and the excitement of the Bucs TD's much different than Buffalo even early on when it was competitive and McCoy had some tremendous runs. The announcers don't watch the Bills games, pretend to know the players than are exposed the more they talk. Phil Simms on CBS is brutal virtually no homework doing two games a week play inside the NFL little time for researching the team tries to free wheel it and sucks because of it. Nantz on the other hand how can you broadcast this game for 20+ years and still no nothing about it - it's shocking.
Fadingpain Posted October 18, 2016 Posted October 18, 2016 The overall quality of NFL announcing is atrocious. I find this interesting, as I would think that is deemed a sexy job highly sought after by zillions of Bob Costas wannabes graduating from Syracuse and elsewhere each year... Limited supply of jobs, tons of demand. The announcers should be fantastic. But they are mostly horrible.
KD in CA Posted October 18, 2016 Posted October 18, 2016 Maybe they should brink back Sam Rutigliano to work with Stockton. I was gonna say Bill Walsh, but Sam is even better. But nothing beats Don Criqui and Bob Trumpy covering a big AFC game on a muddy field.
plenzmd1 Posted October 18, 2016 Posted October 18, 2016 I was gonna say Bill Walsh, but Sam is even better. But nothing beats Don Criqui and Bob Trumpy covering a big AFC game on a muddy field. . Although Enberg and Olson were pretty damn good as well.
KD in CA Posted October 18, 2016 Posted October 18, 2016 . Although Enberg and Olson were pretty damn good as well. Yeah, they were an excellent team. Olson was terrific; had the game knowledge and an actor's sense of timing and delivery.
