Horrible Fox Coverage

[BillsSbSoon]

I didnt like that green zone thing nbc did last night either. I really hope they dont keep using that. I know where the friggin first down marker is

[row_33]

musta been the announcers....  ?

[Mike in Horseheads]

I know it was a preseason game but why show us the guys in the booth yapping with someone while the game is being played, at least split screen that crap

[LabattBlue]

Does the broadcast(good or bad) really matter...or is it just something for people to get angry about when the Bills lose?

[Logic]

It was so bad. 

The guy who opened the broadcast said the Bills went to the playoffs for the first time since 1990. Then the OTHER guy said "When in Buffalo, you've GOTTA get some BBQ!"

It only got worse from there.

Hey, it's preseason for broadcasters, too!

the NFL works with national broadcast crews for TV regular season games, and sometimes even less experienced crews for the playoffs (dig up Joe Theismann for Wild Card weekend...)

 

and all they do for research is have staff ask self-serving questions to the teams GMs on a Thursday, and memorize player numbers and a few key facts that any 7-year old fan knows alreday

 

for preseason games, which are pointless, they aren't into worrying about the 2nd half scrubs on the field, so it's a total joke, and they didn't disappoint...

I have a theory as to why a majority of us feel the national broadcasts of Bills games are not up to par:

 

Back in the days when there was no internet, no access to WGR 550 on any device, thousands of Bills blogs, message boards, the information that these games provided was good to us because there wasn't anything else. Now a lot of us are more advanced and knowing of the in and outs of this team, so the national coverage isn't up to what we want.

every sport has gotten more complex, especially the last decade, with strategy and player changes and formations, and the TV announcers tell us NOTHING more than we can see with our eyeballs, even on replay they add NOTHING at all

 

 

 

 

 

radio is usually a local team who knows the roster and the inside stuff and can tell us when something unusual has set up in subs or formation

The problem is that they hire ex players. They may be great players, but they are usually dumber than a box of rocks.

you can't fly in a team of announcers two days before and have them knowledgeable about the nuances of either team

As an amateur geologist, I want to say my box of rocks is highly insulted at that remark.

..on a brighter note, they only mentioned "the drought" and "fan donations to Dalton Foundation" 38 times.......over & under was actually 47.....
