Random talking head says something about the Bills

With all the stuff happening with technology, all I want is an option to silence commentators and just hear the sounds of the field and stadium that they get from the small parabola dishes you sometimes see pointed at the field. They already to it for SAP Spanish; make an audio channel without voices. I hate having to listen to jabbering fools to tell me what I just saw and the information that is right there on the graphics.

They do it purposely so they can run their own agenda.

Hey now, hold your tongue, sir. That's the majority owner of PFF you're talking about there. Next you'll be telling us that his analytics ain't worth sh... ... dogspit... either. 

Well, just to be fair, PFF's ratings of Rousseau this year:

 

Overall: 8th out of 199 rated "edge defenders" 

Vs. Pass: 9th

Vs. Run: 30th

 

Overall grade of 88. That's right on the verge of "elite" by their method.

 

So it's not like PFF doesn't appreciate exactly how good Rousseau has been ...

One of the greatest plays ever and he totally flubbed it.  I think his ending comment was something to the effect of “that will make surgery go easier for you” in referencing Mike T’s upcoming surgery. 

 

He’s terrible. 

Yeah, what in the ever living ***** was that?

Tony Romo is great.  I really don't think there is anyone close to his level.  

I enjoy the content and context from him, but he needs to talk less.  He is nonstop all game

I don’t like CC either.

he really turned me off a few years ago when covering a Bills game.

his disdain for the Bills is obvious.

F- him

 

that being said, 

 

aren’t you being a little over generous about Rousseau?

 

he’s good, far from great, hopefully he becomes great.

 

 

 

Maybe he's not a Bills fan, but he is a fan of Josh Allen... While he's not always at the top of his game, he's far better than most.

As long as Beth Mowins isn't on the broadcast, I can listen. She has a very irritating voice, makes a lot of mistakes, and just is easily the worst overall.

If I don’t like an announcer I just mute my tv.  If I want to listen to any audio, I’ll just put on the Bills feed on Sirius, but it is delayed by one minute or so.

Listen to WGR live during games. Watch the game on antenna, still off by a up to 20 seconds.

Problem is when rewatching, gotta listen the the announcing team.

Romo was great his first year, but has morphed into a nonstop talker like all color commentators. Stop talking and let me watch the games!!!

Excited? Listen to it again, it sounds like he was annoyed he was going to have to praise a QB that doesn’t wear #15 for doing something good. If he had any enthusiasm in his commentary i might think differently. Didn’t realize my comment was going to upset someone so much. My bad Mr. Collinsworth, I didn’t mean to hurt your fragile ego. 

 

 

Maybe you should listen again and then listen to him after the “no, no , noooo”. You would hear the excitement in his voice. Hard to hear that when you already don’t like him.

I was obviously being slightly facetious. Just as you are referring to Collinsworth as a Creep. I do think there are still more people who like Romo than don't but honestly I really struggle with why. What does he do well? 

 

Collinsworth is still the best at seeing in real time what has made a play work or not work without needing a slow mow. Often Romo will start watching a slow mo saying something like "watch here Jim the guard misses his block and that leads to pressure...." and then as the replay develops ends up correcting himself to "oh no it was actually a delayed blitzer... great call by the coordinator." And that irritates the hell out of me. Once we are into the slow mo I can see for myself what has happened. His screeching is adding no value at all. Collinsworth is rarely wrong when he calls the Xs and Os even before the replay. He just has a better eye.

 

I'd love to debate this with you but I just can't do it honestly.

I've reached the point where I don't even hear 90% of what these guys are saying; it just goes in one side and out the other like white noise.

As far as them catching stuff live, I'd guess that has as much to do with their spotters as anything else.

Can we just shout out @Simon for merging his own thread with his talking heads thread? Talk about leading from the front.

Is it too late to rescind the draft pick used on him?

 

I mean, he was so bad at what the Bills drafted him to do, they switched him to the other side of the ball.

I thought he switched to CB after he left the Bills. Hmmm.

Since we don't need a new thread every time some random media personality says something about the Bills, I'm just creating this thread to have a place to drop them.

Sometimes I think it's a bit too "merge" happy around here. It really just is a way to bury something that may be interesting.

I will continue my proselytizing but I paid $100 for 365 days of NFL premium. That means that along with getting Redzone I can stream the team radio broadcast. I've run that for the few games this year that haven't been national broadcasts and I'll be perfectly honest: the game analysis is muuuuch better than a lot of the B and C tier announcers. And Collingworth.

 

Plus game rewind to scratch that itch during March to training camp

Interesting going back and taking a look at preseason predictions.

 

4 guys where one (Gruden) was actually a HC and the doom and gloom predictions of 3 of the guys vs his take on the Bills in hindsight is hilarious.

 

A small wager on the side where it looks like Gruden does not need to break out the massage oil.
