silvermike Posted December 5, 2004 Share Posted December 5, 2004 I'm listening to the Bills coverage online, and they so far have managed to bungle it horribly, once again. Almost every week they come back too late, missing kickoff returns, early plays, and more. This time, no Lee Evans TD, no reversal on the INT.. :I starred in Brokeback Mountain: NFL.com I'll take some damn commericals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cugalabanza Posted December 5, 2004 Share Posted December 5, 2004 Yup, pretty poor, especially considering it's a PAY service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SF_BIlls_Fan Posted December 5, 2004 Share Posted December 5, 2004 I agree....listening in Amsterdam and feel like I missed huge parts of the game...at leats I have it TIVOed for when I get home. Great win ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Britbillsfan Posted December 5, 2004 Share Posted December 5, 2004 Why do they do that with the adverts. I mean I have already paid the damn money, I am quite happy to live with totally inappropriate ads for me. If you are paying for FieldPass then chances are you are not local in any case, so the ads mean sod all. Stupid NFL.... Today was certainly one of their worse outings. Grrrrrrrrrrr.

Although he doesn't really have a "radio voice" he breaks down each play and explains why it was called and what the offense sees. I love it. Best 12 bucks I spend every month.

BillnutinHouston Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 I have Field Pass, but I only use it for the pre-game & post-game shows. I can't watch it while the game is on because FP is about 1.5 plays behind what I'm getting from TV (Sunday Ticket). I though it was OK until they put Jimmy B in for the post-game show.

PromoTheRobot Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 I bought Field Pass at the start of the pre-season, and cancelled it for the exact reason you gave. They keep coming back to the game late after commercials. I wrote several e-mails to complain about it. I see they did no good at all. The reason they dump the commercials is because if a voice on a commercial is a union (AFTRA/SAG) voice, then the advertiser has to pony up BIG bonus money. Obviously, advertisers have strict orders to their media outlets NOT to stream their ads. I know some folks at 97 Rock and have told them about the problem. Apparently the feed comes out of 97 Rock clean, so whoever turns the volume up and down on the stream is somewhere else. PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Last Guy on the Bench Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 I like Fieldpass for the pre and postgame (in between, I'm at the sports bar). But I listened to the preseason games and it's enough to give you a stroke when they don't come back on time and miss a big play. I, too, sent an email in complaining. How freaking hard would it be to get some sports broadcasting intern, who would be delighted to learn the ways of the booth, etc., whose only job would be to hit the button before and after commercials. I assume that someone is doing it who is also doing a million other things, because there is no other explanation for how often it's missed unless there is rampant alcoholism in NFL radio station engineering rooms.

CajunBillsBacker Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 Yeah, they totally blew it bigtime yesterday. I heard the INT, the they went off, and when they came back, Miami had the ball. Would have been very confusing if I wasn't in the chatroom reading PBP from YOOOOO and Fezmid. Gamecenter wasn't much better, the farthest they fell behind was a whole 5 minutes of gameplay. To catch up, they skipped a whole two series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
