Cris Collinsworth man

He sort of stated the reason for his anti-Bills bias when they were talking about the Super Bowl era Bills, and he said we had to beat the Bills to get to the Super Bowl when I played in Cincy, and we never could do it. That's got a lot to do with it IMO.

 

Early-onset CTE is a terrible thing.

 

He and the Bengals went 2-0 against the Bills in the playoffs: 1981 and 1988. He even scored the game-winning TD in 1981! Then Collinsworth retired the year before the Super Bowl Bills era began. And his Bengals were basement dwellers throughout the 90's.

 

I hope he gets the medical help he needs.

Sure. But can Beasley make a “tough but expected” catch???????? 

He hasn't very often.

He talked about how John Brown has developed into a great receiver, how Edmunds has stepped up to the next level the last few weeks, how Tre White is maybe 2nd best CB in the league, how great our d is playing, what a well coached team this is.... I don't know what you where listening to.

The superlatives were heavily in favor of the Steelers, heavily.  I was keeping score at home.

That's pathetic if true.

He was awful tonight.

Tough crowd. Michaels and Collinsworth are one of only a few good announcing crews. It was fun listening to them gush about Edmunds and White.

When Al Michaels said the Bills were going to the playoffs, I think he may have been simultaneously scraping a dog turd off his shoe,

because he sounded disgusted by the moment.

It was very clear he did zero homework on the Bills and generally went with the same propaganda most have gone with. Josh isn’t accurate that’s his issue. Wrs are too small. Buffalo has a very good defense blah blah blah. 

This. ZERO homework

So, I'm either pathetic or a liar? I don't like your tone.

Not pathetic and absolutely true of all these idiotic national broadcasts.

Nope and Collinsworth only harped on Allen. Everything he said was “true”, but Beasley could’ve made the tough catch, yet Collinsworth never mentioned anything towards Beasley.....He only spoke in reference to Allen on the interception. That’s where the OP is coming from. 

[JROC INTEL]

I think my brain just tuned him out. Every time I tuned in it was some irrelevant back story or useless stat. Half of what they said tonight was planned/scripted. Awful.

if during a game of this importance, you are keeping track of the commentators remarks to see a bias, yeah, it's pretty sad.

[thronethinker]

The Collingsworth Hate goes back to the 90s when he first started announcing. On one of his first Bills games he made some obvious anti Bills comments and the fans lashed out against him. It got back to him the next time he called a Bills game he even mentioned it. I cannot remember the exact games, but that is the foundation of the whole thing.

So by not criticizing Allen and Beasley,  just Allen, he's biased against us? I don't get it. Sorry

I was just about to post this:

 

He harped on JA's perceived inaccuracy all night but said nothing about Hodges'.  Hodges doesn't throw long (that was a pretty good graphic about, what, 61 of his 80 throws were less than ten yards) because he's inaccurate and he throws looping softballs.  Washington does well with his throws because Washington gets open, not because Hodges zips lasers to him.  Where was the analysis on that?

Such homers on this board. Collinsworth was excellent as he almost always is.

Chris...I am shocked that you have an account here.

[jlgarsh]

Was watching the game with my mom and she said "what channel are the Bill's usually on? CBS? their announcers are much better
