Dillenger4 Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Just now, Alphadawg7 said: You realize Romo calls the game for people across the country right, not just Bills fans? Not everyone knows Josh is banged up, to what degree, that it could be impacting his play, etc. And everyone is getting the perspective from a former QB who has actually also had the same injury. Very true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imo, when Romo calls Bills games, he should basically be talking about the Bills with the nuance we see on TBD. Talking about how Reggie Gilliam has gone from seeing 21 snaps a game to 22. This is a normal expectation. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FilthyBeast Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 It almost seemed like Romo was intentionally trolling at times especially with the ridiculous comment about Dane Jackson being a budding superstar. The sad thing is Frazier and McD might actually believe that because there's no reason he should still be on the field at this point and is the worst player on this defense.

SirAndrew Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 His broadcasting career has similarities to the trajectory of his football career. He starts out as the next big thing showing phenomenal talent, lets it go to his head, then stops growing in his career. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Romo and that he loves Allen but at this point everyone knows Josh is playing with a bad elbow no need to keep bringing it up every other minute.

blacklabel Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 I thought he was alright when he first started out. It was neat to see him basically predict what offenses were gonna run in certain situations. Beyond that tho, his tendency to overexaggerate mundane things gets pretty irritating. I dunno if his ADHD kicks in or what but he gets a little hyperactive and emphasizes on everything. But most of the talking heads are like that. They're all directed to emphasize and create drama, excitement, spectacle, blah blah blah. It just gets so friggin' old after hearing it for so many years. Mute!

Chicken Boo Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 I knew fans would turn on him like they do everyone. I dgaf who calls the games. They do little to nothing for me. I'm only concerned with what's happening on the field. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikie2times Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 So I really paid attention this game. WTF happened? He sounds like a teenager calling a game. Random sounds. Awkward pauses. Was it so simple that when you told the guy he can't call the play out he turned straight CTE? I wonder if CBS is getting complaints. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estro Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 I thought he was awful today & I thought he was great in his first year as an announcer. He started a little quirky, but he brought so much insight it was refreshing. Now he's jist a dumbed down, awkward version of what he once was. Not really a fan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALLEN1QB Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 Dude I have had enough of him long ago. Loves hearing himself talk keep rambling on about nonsense so sick of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really a fan It feels like they molded him into every other analyst so what made him interesting early on has disappeared and he's just kind of annoying like most announcers now. You'd think the success of the manningcast would get these networks to start trying something new. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikie2times Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 I didn't unearth the thread to pile on the guy. I remembered seeing this thread and was like ok, lets really tune in on him. It was awkward listening to him. Weird Madden like sounds, tailing dialogue, long pauses. Very little value added. I'm really curious if CBS is seeing it this way or if they're getting negative feedback. I have no horse in the announcer race. This has just been a pretty drastic decline.

John from Riverside Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 The only problem I have with Romo is that the guy is a complete chatterbox. He never shut the ***** up like you’re supposed to be a color commentator but you’re just talking all the way through all the plays all the time while people are trying to enjoy the game.

Dr.Sack Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 I appreciate Romo’s candor, but he’s got to stop hitting the bottle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manningcast is a novelty for me. I'll tune in if I don't care about the game, it can be amusing but I have no doubt I'll grow tired of it. The celebrities can be entertaining - as long as they don't comment on the game action. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobills404 Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 I watch football to be entertained and (to me at least) Romo is very entertaining while still providing better analysis than most other commentators. That Mortal Kombat reference he made today was hilarious. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romo will announce multiple Superbowls. This is not a Trevor Noah situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a Tuel Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 (edited) I've noticed he raves about QBs wayyy too much. Between Mike White, and Kenny Pickett it is unbearable. Not every QB is the 2nd coming of Tom Brady. And that's just our games I recall offhand. Other non bills games he has done the same, I just can't recall which ones.
