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...

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...

When your D allows a TD on every possession, the announcers don't believe your team has developments. I'm just as glad they missed it personally. It would only have provided them more fuel for mockery of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not at the table Karlos Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Steve beuerlein was terrible. Anything bad that happened to the bills was Josh Allen's fault. Center doesn't snap ball but the 10 other players all move at the same time, stupid Josh Allen. Dawkins blocks the wrong guy even though the rest of the line blocked the right people, stupid Josh Allen. O lineman gets beat by a good move, stupid Josh Allen. Receiver falls down and has corner on top of him, Josh allen looks elsewhere, stupid Josh Allen. They would both take both sides of an argument then flip a few seconds later then switch back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what did happen.... because Taiwan fumbled as well so if it wasn't whistled dead before he lost control of the ball, which it could have been because of the loss of helmet, then surely that was a live ball in the endzone?

It didnt sound like they blew it though but it could also be a situation where after the play they would call an 'intent to blow the whistle' and just call it dead at that point. Because Jones never got out of the endzone with it, it could only be ruled as a touchback for the Bill's, but if he had fumbled before losing his helmet then a LA recovery could be called a TD I believe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
