offsides#76FredSmerlas Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I haven't heard this many blunders by a set of announcers in a long time. How many times did they say Jackson was running and it was Spiller or vice versa? I also know of at least 4 times when they said the wrong down. When Charles made a sack he gave credit to Kyle Williams. The funny part is after he caught his mistake he tried to make up for it and say Kyle didn't make the sack but he contributed to helping put pressure on the QB. Kyle Williams wasn't even on the field on that play. Then when we kicked a field goal late in the game the head announcer said Buffalo is about to attempt the go ahead field goal. Really dude, what drugs are you on? I don't remember the Bills ever trailing in this game. They were a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ricojes Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 There should be a good crew for this coming weeks game. Denver/Seattle is the highlight of the week, but I think the Bills/SD will be very entertaining... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Campy Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 From my perspective, I guess it worked out that we had so many loud fans at our Bills Backers bar that we couldn't even hear the TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really dude, what drugs are you on? I don't remember the Bills ever trailing in this game. They were a joke. Â Don't forget several times when the play by play guy said a Miami player's name when describing a play that a Bill's player had just made. I remember that happening on at least one Bills run (I'm pretty sure I know the name of all of our running backs) and on one Bills pass defense play (I'm also pretty sure I know the name of all of our DBs - in fact, I'm pretty sure I know the name of everyone on the roster except the punter whose name hasn't found a neural resting spot in my brain yet - love him nonetheless).

zow2 Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I did hear the name blunders. Just as bad were how many times the announcer said after a play "3rd down coming up" and it was 4th down, or 2nd down, etc... The guy screwed up which down it was several times. Kinda' sloppy to say the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodeMonkey Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Well one thing TV did right was after the Spiller TD return they put a camera on Mrs. Wilson and showed her take a hit of her mixed drink (looked like a gin and tonic ) and high fived everyone around her. Looked like she was getting into the game day experience along with the other 70,000+ in attendance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah John Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 At one point the announcers confused Marcel Dareus and Kyle Williams. Granted they're both large men but their uniform numbers are completely different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SageAgainstTheMachine Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 They referred to Duke Williams as Jimmy Wilson a couple times. They both wear #27, but that's pretty indicative of the announcers being unfamiliar with the teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amarillo Bills Fan Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Tasker should have been part of the crew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SageAgainstTheMachine Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 They also referred to Fred Jackson as Freddie Mitchell on a couple of occasions. Â Yeah, that was weird. The Dolphins have a DT Earl Mitchell who made a few tackles on running plays. Maybe that was the confusion? Either way, pretty sloppy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeHateMe Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 This was a noticeably horrid broadcast. They should be ashamed. Â Honestly the worst ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 From my perspective, I guess it worked out that we had so many loud fans at our Bills Backers bar that we couldn't even hear the TV. Â it was pretty loud at my bar too but even then i kept noticing them constantly getting the downs wrong, and reported lee smith in when he was inactive. i would be surprised if they had a few mixed drinks of their own in hand.

Peter Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 When in doubt, announcers should just say that "Williams" made the play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevewin Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 My favorite comment was made in the shout box near the end of the game (don't remember who), something to the effect of '4th and game here for the Dolphins, or as the announcers would say "a makeable 3rd down"' lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiberius Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 When in doubt, announcers should just say that "Williams" made the play. I'm pretty sure they once called Knewshawn Moreno "Neshawan Williams" of Jamestown aides fame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
