    Quick summary of post titles if we miss the playoffs: 
     

    Fire everyone! 

    I’m done with this team. For real this time. (Yet it’ll be a 40 paragraph diatribe). 


    The refs robbed us. 


    Allen isn’t the answer. 


    Beane can’t spot talent. 


    What’s really wrong at OBD? 

     

    What did I miss? 

    Everything is hunky dory and no changes needed.

    This is true.

     

    Sherfield is what he is - a good blocker and ST guy who can play #3 WR.  That works only if you have a good  #1 and a #2

     

    I just watched the guys Lamar Jackson was throwing to and I don’t see either separation or focus/ability to complete the catch from our guys

    Sherfield is nowhere near a #3 reciever.  He's a 5 or 6 at best.

    I thought Joe Buck and Troy Aikman are the most subdued announcers, both boring. Michaels at least has interesting things to say from time to time and has some voice inflection for certain calls, unlike the aforementioned boring duo. If NBC wants excitement, bring back Gus Johnson.

    Joe Buck is a nepo baby.    He lost me with his faux outrage on the Randy Moss pretend mooning, you would have thought Moss whipped out his junk or something.

    I have said for years, and still maintain, that other than maybe friends & family, absolutely no one tunes in to ANY sports contest because who is announcing the contest. People watch a sports event because: it’s their team (or for golf/tennis, they follow a certain player), it’s a great matchup between 2 good teams (or two good singular athletes), it's the playoffs and great games are expected, or they're betting on the event or player.

     

    The amount of money paid to these announcers is just absolutely mind boggling. There's no need for it. Fans will watch their team, or their favorite player, or a great matchup no matter who is calling it. Conversely, if it's bad teams, or a crap matchup, no one is tuning in because Nance & Romo are calling it.

    Great point, never understood the money thrown at these announcers.    If its my team or SNF, MNF, or TNF im watching unless its a blowout, announcers have no impact on my decision.   Just as what musician does the lead in has no impact on if im watching or not.  When I read NBC pays Carrie Underwood a million a game for SNF, I was thinking, you don't have better uses for 17 million?   One more point on Al Michaels, I was in high school when he called the miracle on ice, next year Im retiring, again time to give a younger person a shot.

    It seems to me that many people these days are having real trouble calling it quits before they’ve past their prime. When you get to a certain stage or age it’s time to move on and let the next generation take these limited spots.  I’m all for tradition but you have to look in a mirror. 

    Could not agree more.   The guy is almost 80, has a boat load of money.  Give a younger person a chance.
