Giuseppe Tognarelli Posted December 7, 2020 Posted December 7, 2020 Buffalo too long of a flight for Al Michaels? Al just announced that Mike Tirico will be calling Steelers-Bills, which is annoying. It was previously announced that Michaels would be skipping some games this year, but I hoped it wouldn't be ours. I kind of figured it might be though. The last game Al called in Buffalo must have been 56-10. Could be wrong, but I don't think we've ever won a Tirico-called game. Dallas MNF comes to mind.

QB Bills Posted December 7, 2020 Posted December 7, 2020 That sucks. Tirico is also excellent, but Al Michaels is the best in the business and doesn't have many years left. He even stated he wanted to come to buffalo when schopp had him on last year. 1
bills6969 Posted December 7, 2020 Posted December 7, 2020 Can we replace Collinsworth too? Give us Flutie. 3 1 1 1
Royale with Cheese Posted December 7, 2020 Posted December 7, 2020 Well he called the Bills/Steelers game last year....in Pittsburgh. 5

Well, clearly he doesn't want to come to Buffalo and was just pandering on the radio. What a jerk.
QB Bills Posted December 7, 2020 Posted December 7, 2020 Just now, Giuseppe Tognarelli said: Well, clearly he doesn't want to come to Buffalo and was just pandering on the radio. What a jerk. Yup. Hope he gets diarrhea next Sunday. Still a chance he has to come to Buffalo week 17. Dolphins game can still be flexed to Sunday night.
bills6969 Posted December 7, 2020 Posted December 7, 2020 It’s probably because ND doesn’t have a game next weekend. Maybe Tirico is covering for him during ND off weeks. 1

Collinsworth needles Michaels about "golfing in Buffalo" I mean, I understand the urge to golf but I also understand the urge to cash million$ dollar paychecks.
Ethan in Cleveland Posted December 7, 2020 Posted December 7, 2020 Don't care for Al that much anymore so that doesn't bother me. But Tirico is terrible. Unlike many on this board, I like Collinsworth. 1 1 2 1
BillnutinHouston Posted December 7, 2020 Posted December 7, 2020 Al Michaels sounded to me like he phoned it in tonight. Maybe he's getting lazy 1

I think the problem is that he goes overboard praising the superstars. Tonight was a great example: Mahomes flat-out missed Kelce and even pointed at himself after the play, yet Collinsworth said Kelce ran the wrong route as if it was a fact. That crap gets old. 1 1

Yeah but he makes up for it with good situational analysis and he talks about line play more than most. 1
Man with No Name Posted December 7, 2020 Posted December 7, 2020 i love collinsworth. very polarizing guy. i have this conversation with friends any time he is on. I also like Michaels, but Tirico has a very good rep himself. i have not seen him call many games, personally. 1

Call_Of_Ktulu Posted December 7, 2020 Posted December 7, 2020 So its Mike Tricio and Collinsworth, I'd rather go to the dentist and have a root canal then listen to these two jabronis. I will definitely need to watch this game with the sound off, I can't stand either of these guys.
Do The Reich Thing Posted December 7, 2020 Posted December 7, 2020 Am I the only fan of Tirico? Geez lol 2 1
QLBillsFan Posted December 7, 2020 Posted December 7, 2020 He’s 76. Might be concerned with his health in cold weather and the travel associated with the game. Or he’s just anti-Buffalo. Turico is insufferable, says all the right things. Knows all the right generalizations of each team. But doesn’t really know the Bills. He will harp on the expected game narrative and never vary. Used to like him. He’s just become too generic covering too many sports. Bills need to win prime time games to change perceptions. 2
