Mark Vader Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 12 hours ago, The Frankish Reich said: Wow, that shows you just how bad Rex was. I live in Colorado so I hear Brian Griese a lot (mostly radio color), and he's ... kind of o.k. Just like he was as a QB. But not exactly Mr. Excitement. I don't really get why Rex is this awful unless - just like he was as a Bills coach - he wasn't really trying. 12 hours ago, YoloinOhio said: I think Griese was really bad on the Big 10 games. Brutal. I think Brian Griese is good enough for the job, although I thought his father was a very good announcer. Just glad they got rid of Rex, but how could they not get rid of Mowins?

dpberr Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Beth Mowins is not a play by play announcer. I have no idea why she's coming back. That was a terrible performance by Ryan and her last year. Rex interviews well but once he's on the job, his laziness betrays him. His problem is he never took a break after NYJ to reflect and recharge. His ego prevents this from happening. He has that "Fire me? I'll show you" attitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CowgirlsFan Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Outstanding! Every time I looked at Rex it upset me. His time with the Bills set the team back those two years.

msw2112 Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Rex was a blowhard as a coach and is also a blowhard as a commentator. He won't be missed. I agree with all of the above negative comments about Beth Mowins. I just can't stand the sound of her voice. I say this without gender bias (at least I like to think that). There are other women in the booth who are just fine and some are quite good. For example, I think that Jessica Mendoza on ESPN, who did Sunday Night Baseball (not sure if she still does) is very knowledgeable and has a pleasant voice and good delivery. As for Mowins, I agree with the earlier post that her voice is like nails on a chalkboard. It just makes me cringe every time I hear it. It is almost unbearable. I am not speaking to her knowledge of the game or her delivery style, I truly just cannot stand the sound of her voice. To balance out the gender thing, I also can't stand Spiro Dedes on CBS, who, unfortunately, calls a number of Bills games. His voice and delivery style are irritating and he makes numerous incorrect statements during every broadcast. I am usually really excited when the telecast starts every Sunday, then I see/hear Dedes and some of the air comes out of my balloon. As to Brian Greise - he's OK. Solid, but not spectacular - just like his play as a QB, as another poster noted earlier in the thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fadingpain Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Do we have info. on whether or not ESPN is retaining Rex and going to fit him into other plans? Or is he done, on the street? The funny thing is that we all criticize him for being a buffoon. Yet he is an expert and taking large amounts of other people's money, legally, in exchange for nothing. He's not as dumb as you think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoyBatty is alive Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Rex actually for about the first 15 mintues of the broadcast was pretty entertaining, had some great anecdotes by by the early middle part of the game all his set pieces were exhausted and was totally lost for what to say.

buffalobloodfloridahome Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 At least Beth added something to the conversation. Loud mouth Rex tripping over his words and long awkward silence because his brain doesn't work fast enough to have complete and not scripted thought. Someone who rode their daddy's coat tails and defensive scheme until it died and was unable to adapt it to the modern game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
