NFL Week 15 (December 18, 2022) TV announcers (Bills get Kugler/Sanchez/Okmin/Schrager)

[T&C]

The thread title is correct, that's when most of the week 15 games will be played.

The NFL really needs to do a reset of how it handles its 4:25 game of the week next year. Way too much Rams and Bucs this year. They should implement some sort of flex system.

I really liked Romo at first. But now I hope he never does another Bills game. Anyone else is sweet relief.

 

Murph and Wood don't sync up to TV here so that's not an option. Although I find them both mindlessly boring.

Kugler is pretty good. Mostly a hoops guy I think but not bad.

I thought the Bills game is on Saturday…was it moved back to Sunday?

 

As @T&C stated above, the NFL week goes by the date most games are played. For this week, it is Sunday, 12/18. I included announcers for all the Sunday FOX and CBS games in the initial post, as well as the three Saturday NFL Network games.

Agreed, way too may Rams and Buccaneers. However, the NFL can flex those games:

"The NFL may also announce games moving to 4:05 p.m. ET and 4:25 p.m. ET."

 

They chose to not flex them this year since Tampa Bay is still a big draw nationally. I am not so sure about the Rams though, lol.

But this is a thread announcing all the NFL announcers and games on FOX and CBS (and NFL Network this week). I can't be biased toward the Bills in a thread like this, even though I am a Bills fan.

So if you have a DVR and video is ahead pause till audio catches up. Been doing this for years with SiriusXM OTA n directv dvr.

Thank you for this. Was looking all over.

 

Would have rather had Rich Eisen but I guess this is their top team?

I agree. I've heard Eisen too. You would think he would be good, but he is very bland when calling a game. Sounds like he is calling a golf tourney.

Well FOX is producing all three of NFL Network's games on Saturday, but NFL Network wanted to use their own guys when they had them, hence Eisen and Warner for the Baltimore-Clevland game and Burleson for the Colts-Vikings earlier. Noah Eagle (son of Ian Eagle), who is also doing Baltimore-Cleveland, is kind of new and works for FOX, so they are testing him out. Miami-Buffalo got two experienced FOX announcers (Kugler and Sanchez), who NFL Network has also used this season for two out of their three London games, but they are later down FOX's pecking order in announcing crews. FOX saved their best for their own Sunday games, which is to be expected. But you can say Kugler and Sanchez are the best FOX announcers they lend out to NFL Network, so in a way, we got the best FOX lends out. Eisen and Warner are the (pretty much only) NFL Network announcers, but that network does not do a lot of games.

Way to spell it out

 

So in comparing the 3 announcing crews that were scheduled to do the Saturday games, in my mind Eisen and Warner have a bigger game aura around them than Sanchez and the other guy (the Bills Miami game is clearly the top Saturday game). I do like Laura Okmin and Schrags on the sideline though.

I can’t stand Warner. Thinks he’s smarter than everyone.
