hmsmystic Posted February 5, 2018 Posted February 5, 2018 Glad I wasn't the only one who noticed this tonight! I think this broadcast team has run it's course

Fadingpain Posted February 5, 2018 Posted February 5, 2018 He's a totally PC square who is overly cautious about everything he has ever said, which results in his style of heaping praise on everything. He's technically very competent at his job, but I can't take his style anymore.
BuffaloRebound Posted February 5, 2018 Posted February 5, 2018 Ertz took 3 steps after the catch and then jumped for the goal line. Wasn't even close. Collinsworth sounded like a fool. You can't over-turn Clementine's TD in the super bowl. It was not obvious. If it was incomplete on field, then that call should've stood as well. NFL for both calls right. In general I like Collinsworth but he lost a lot of credibility tonight. 3
SouthNYfan Posted February 5, 2018 Posted February 5, 2018 (edited) 21 minutes ago, Johnny Hammersticks said: Yeah, him going on and on about that obvious Ertz catch and TD was ridiculous. It was so annoying. Then on the replay of the 2pt convo where the pats defender clearly doesn't even try to look at the ball, just blatantly shoves the receiver right in front of the referee... And collinsWORST casually says "oh yeah, looks like contact before the ball... Oh well... LET'S LOOK AT THE ERTZ CATCH SO I CAN COMPLAIN ABOUT IT MORE" My wife was like "Jesus, could this guy suck Brady's c**k any more? It's absurd how much he loves the pats" Edited February 5, 2018 by SouthNYfan 2

I didn't used to hate him nearly as much as a lot of people did. The last few years he has been horrible. Today he was way, way worse. He actually said that Brady was trying to one-hop a ball to a WR at the goalline.
SinceThe70s Posted February 5, 2018 Posted February 5, 2018 My kids were asking me before the game why I couldn't stand him. Now they get it. The way we watch games and the way they are announced is suffering from instant replay IMO. Collinsworths commentary during the Ertz review was a prime example. Stoking controversy where there is none.
Kelly the Dog Posted February 5, 2018 Posted February 5, 2018 I liked when it was less than a minute to go in the game, and Collinsworthless told a 30 second story about Brady once looking off DBs at the end of a game and then throwing a bomb to Randy Moss and then ended the story by saying it was incomplete, but "it was close." WTF? 3
Just Joshin' Posted February 5, 2018 Posted February 5, 2018 It was an embarrassing performance for a professional. My wife, who knows next to nothing about football, corrected him at least twice. Romo makes him look like a hack.
Formerly Allan in MD Posted February 5, 2018 Posted February 5, 2018 Loved when he praised Brady's bounced pass. How can someone who's played and been around as long as he has continue to say the last Eagles touchdown shouldn't have been called one on the field and after the review? It was a no brainer, especially after the initial replay. 1

They both looked like fools. Impressive Vocab word of the night. 1

Ennjay Posted February 5, 2018 Posted February 5, 2018 I don't watch Sunday night games so I haven't seen a lot of Collinsworth. I was surprised how bad he was tonight. Constantly telling you what you already know and what you've already seen. After a guy makes a great catch he tells you he has great hands. After a runner makes a good cut he tells you he has great cutting ability. After a WR outjumps a DB he tells you what a good jumper he is. After a rugged play he tells you a guy is tough. Really?? Y'think??
Rob's House Posted February 5, 2018 Posted February 5, 2018 (edited) I've always wondered how people can rag on the guy because he's one of, if not the best commentators out there. That said, I found him very disappointing tonight, particularly on the Zach Ertz TD. I usually feel like I've got a guy who knows a lot more than I do pointing out things I didn't pick up on, but a few times I was scratching my head wondering where he was coming from. He's still a great commentator, but tonight wasn't his greatest outing. Edited February 5, 2018 by Rob's House
1st Ammendment NoMas Posted February 5, 2018 Posted February 5, 2018 I usually like him, but his lips were so far up Patsie asses tonight, it was sickening.

He's like a great or very good player who just hits a wall and just lost it. I used to really like him. The last few years he has been hard to like. Tonight he was just unlistenable.

Livinginthepast Posted February 5, 2018 Posted February 5, 2018 (edited) 1 hour ago, Process said: Despite always sounding like he's suffering from the worst constipation of his life, I always liked him as an announcer. Not anymore, he was an embarrassment tonight. Lost all respect for the guy. I'm sure him and riveron are in the Patriots locker room double teaming Brady trying to console him. I agree I used to like him a lot because he used to be unafraid to criticize the refs and stupid calls, but tonight he was abysmal. Stupid whining about the first controversial Eagles TD was bad enough but his idiocy on the winning TD where he actually seems to want it overturned based on the NFL's idiotic nebulous catch rule was too much. That was a catch and a run and a TD. All day and up until recently for decades. yet he picks that play to play devils advocate or act stupid. I really hope they are all fired at NBC, Al Michaels should retire and Collinsworth should be out the door as well. I thought they did a really crap job in the game coverage overall.

frostbitmic Posted February 5, 2018 Posted February 5, 2018 Collinsworth's nose is so far past Brady's sphincter his head has disappeared.
