Call the game and stop interviewing a guy who retired 15 years ago. I don't care if you are goomba's..... Presumably that's not Nantz/Romo's decision. Smith was embarrassing, they were trying to get him out of there as quickly as possible.
sherpa Posted November 29, 2019 Posted November 29, 2019 My favorite Ro-ment was when Dak threw the pick to Lotulelei. Under his breath, almost whispering, he says, "Oh no. Say it isn't so."
Matt_In_NH Posted November 29, 2019 Posted November 29, 2019 This was the worst I have ever heard Romo......I get it he is an ex Cowboy but he did not seem to want to give the Bills their due. Usually I like him but he was a definite Cowgirls fan today. 1
BaaadThingsMan Posted November 29, 2019 Posted November 29, 2019 Romo was complimentary to Josh and the Bills and is a fair color analyst but you could hear the pain in his voice and hesitance to give them too much credit beyond playing an efficient game in all facets of the game. He was honestly pretty quiet in the second half. 3 hours ago, KD in CA said: Presumably that's not Nantz/Romo's decision.

Rico Posted November 29, 2019 Posted November 29, 2019 I had no problem with Romo during the game. Emmett Smith should've been slapped though. 2

Romo was fine, he had some really nice things to say about Josh and I respect his opinion. He was broadcasting with hurt feelings today tho. Ha, oohhh yeahhh!! Because..Bills!!
Buffalo716 Posted November 29, 2019 Posted November 29, 2019 Romo is usually always good but not yesterday He actually got happy when Hausch missed his kick ... He is there to be an analyst not a fan Sure he said Josh was good but he had the cowboys ding a ling in his mouth the whole time
D. L. Hot-Flamethrower Posted November 29, 2019 Posted November 29, 2019 (edited) I felt like Nantz, Romo, CBS and the rest of the football media people were playing catch up yesterday. The Bills threw their usually narrative a curve. Romo was the best at recovering, some of these other dudes were trying to recover from not knowing, watching, and creating the trash narrative of the Bills. He at least knew something real about Josh. It wasn't the usual lazy BS. Edited November 29, 2019 by D. L. Hot-Flamethrower

As stated the narrative regardless in JJ & Garrett..... Oh & let's also not forget that Dallas marched the ball up & down the field much of the game & continually imploded too. ....kind of awkward for him being the color guy for the 'Girls, a staple on Thanksgiving, with him being a former 'Girl himself.....think he acquitted himself well.....Chuckie was getting $6.5 mil/yr for MNF and Tony is up for contract renewal, looking for $10 mil/yr.......somebody will pay it...the guy knows his stuff and comes prepared.....
clayboy54 Posted November 29, 2019 Posted November 29, 2019 (edited) I think Nance had his worst day yesterday. He was woefully unprepared and didn’t even know the Bills players names. That’s announcing 101. He was just horrible. Romo on the other hand, was very good as usual. He may have been a little shell-shocked at times, because after all, who expected the Bills to dominate? That said, he had his usual excellent analysis. The Emmitt segment spoiled the broadcast during that whole time. It was Emmitt who spoke the “say it isn’t so” comment after the Star interception and he also cheered the field goal miss. Again announcing 101 says never let the guest contribute to the play-by-play. They are only there for the human interest part of the broadcast. The producer should have made that abundantly clear afterward, if they failed to do so before the game. So, the broadcast indeed was not good overall. However, the least experienced member of the team, Romo, was the only one who did a good job. At the end of the day, I’d say shame on CBS for the quality of the broadcast and kudos to Romo for his singularly professional behavior. Edited November 29, 2019 by clayboy54

They were completely unprepared for this game at least from the Bills side. I agree w/this. The national perception of the Bills was on full display throughout the pregame, broadcast, postgame, and actually still extending into today's analysis. People just weren't prepared for a superior Buffalo taking care of business against the favorite Cowboys and they were playing catch up the whole game. That was one of the surreal aspects for me...as the Bills kept proving themselves throughout those 60 mins it was like Romo/Nantz were the league in microcosm having to deal w/the Bills putting a beatdown on national TV against a heavy favorite. To be fair I had a few by halftime and was barely coherent.

Under his breath, almost whispering, he says, "Oh no. Say it isn't so." That's kind of what I like about him. I remember him screaming "he's open" when Tyrod threw the ball away and was the only network color commentator who clearly showed Tyrod's shortcomings. I rewatched the game with the commentary and he gave the Bills their fair share of praise. He also made a good point in the last ten minutes or so that these regular season national TV wins feel better than they actually are and losses feel worse than they actually are. He's played in a lot of Thanksgiving games so he's well aware of the emotions that follow.

A LOT. Yet you pick out one thing to characterize the entire broadcast by? I know some fans are homers, but give me a break. Ok Mrs. Romo.
