Dan Darragh Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 How clueless were the TV announcers for the Chargers' game? At least as far as I can recall, they completely missed 2 huge halftime developments: Davis quitting and McDermott "benching" the DC. I'm abroad so I watch the games on gamepass, but I usually opt for the audio from the Bills radio network when I'm watching since these guys are good and know the team well. For this game, though, the radio audio was out of whack (3 or 4 minutes behind the action) so I had to listen to the CBS audio. What a shame. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gamepass provides the option to sync the audio feed from Bills broadcast with video from CBS? This is a reason I have Sirius and NFKST I pause the ST broadcast for about 10seconds and mute the TV guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually it's off by a few seconds which is a bit irritating but not terrible if the audio is ahead of the video. Yesterday was the worst sync problem I've experienced on Gamepass by far.

Ok I like my solution better I can get the sync perfect so when ref is announcing a penalty the sync is perfect you hear it on radio and lips moving exact Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweats Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Between the dismal play of the team, the atrocious play calling and the referees absolute giving the game away with bad calls, the announcers were the last thing I was worried about. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The safety that was ruled a touchback, was one of them. The first fumble was clearly our ball so I guess they cancel each other out. The one punt that pinned us inside our 5 should've been a touchback though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiotAct Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 they also called McDermott “McDonagh” towards the beginning of the broadcast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rochesterfan Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 And called them San Diego at least 5 or 6 times - they are definitely a low end crew that barely knew the players on either team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The safety that was ruled a touchback, was one of them. That was the correct call as explained by the former referee- it was a muffed punt - he never had possession and therefore did not establish control outside of the goal line. The first control was in the end zone and therefore touchback was the correct call. Every close play outside of the muffed punt went to LA. The first fumble should have been Buffalo ball and that would have had the potential to change the game. The punt where the ball was touched by LA on the goal line should have been a touchback- JA then throws an Int because he is backed up in the end zone. A correct call there could have also changed things as that lead to LA’s last points. In the end the Refs did not cost the Bills the game - they did not help them either - it was just another fast moving game with a lot of very close plays that for the most part the Refs get right in live action - which amazes me over and over.

GunnerBill Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 I'll be honest I have no idea what should have happened on the muffed punt. And listening to the TV announcers and rules analyst try and explain it I still have no idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billsatlastin2018 Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 I'm glad we've got it settled now and found the prime culprit of that catastrophic ineptitude, I witnessed in person- the CBS crew! ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob in STL Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 (edited) How would the TV crew know that McD took over the defensive play calls? Them having access to halftime changes is the last thing the game needs. Edited September 17, 2018 by Bob in STL 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krf139 Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 I think it may have been the first football game Tom McCarthy watched in his life (although it sure sounded like he wasn't even watching what was in front of him). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
