yall Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Was anyone else annoyed by the constant barrage of the apparent 2016 season motto during last night's broadcast? "BILLS RUN DEEP!" and "RUN DEEP" splash screens were shown after every 2nd or 3rd play. I don't feel like I'm exaggerating when I say it popped up every minute. If we'd have done shots for every occurrence, there would be 3 bodies on ice at ECMC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This connection lives within each one of us at our very core—it is indescribable. Only we understand it. Developed by Brent Rossi, Executive Vice President of Marketing and Brand Strategy, ‘Bills Run Deep’ extends far beyond the football field.

If we'd have done shots for every occurrence, there would be 3 bodies on ice at ECMC. I thought it was a bit annoying. I know "only we understand", but I really don't. The entire telecast was annoying, and amateurish. Tasker is an embarrassment as a broadcaster. How can he be wrong so often? Maybe if he took a moment, to figure out what was actually going on before talking, he wouldn't sound so totally clueless. I know it is the first preseason game for the announcers, too. But this isn't an isolated occurrence---it's his typical subpar performance. It seems like a lack of preparation, to me. I can't believe he approached football with the same level of preparation and focus. If I'm wrong, and he works like hell at it, then he simply doesn't have enough talent to call NFL games. Hall of Fame caliber football player. Hall of Shame announcer. That other mook, Rob Stone, as nearly as bad. I think I heard the following statements from him (although they could have come from Tasker, in which case I apologize to Stone, in advance): "You can't coach speed" "You can't coach tall" "You can't coach DNA" For Christ's sake it reminded me of Andy Samberg's "That'll move the chains!" skit on SNL. The blame lies on management (of the Bills Network and CBS during the season), though. Do they review the telecast, as a group, and point out the mistakes and problems, as they do in football, where they watch the game film together? When you accept this level of performance, it isn't likely to get much better. Edited August 14, 2016 by The Dean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubba Gump Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 (edited) Almost as annoying as that stupid horn theyll be blowing at home games again. Not sure if I was just ignoring it, but last night the blowing of the train horn didn't sound nearly as loud as it used to. Maybe it's set on preseason volume. Does it goes up to 11 when the games count? But, like I said in another thread, they need to replace it and go back to the video of the stampeding herd of Buffalo. Much more appropriate.
