Hapless Bills Fan Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 2 hours ago, Dan Darragh said: 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. 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...

We, as Bills fans, had nothing to do with that clown show. We are simply victims of ´Śtockholm Syndrome´. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they would have noticed that the guy with the play sheet speaking into the microphone was Sean and not Leslie. They aren't exactly identical twins. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And listening to the TV announcers and rules analyst try and explain it I still have no idea. Murphy did not have the ball long enough to establish change of possession. Therefore when Taiwan recovered the ball in the end zone, touchback. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bing Bong Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 These guys are bored out of their mind, wishing they were commentating a fun game. I was laughing so hard when they were musing how fun it would be to see Lamar Jackson play the ENTIRE SECOND HALF cause they had nothing to talk about. By that point every neutral observer just wanted to see Allen and Jackson duke it out in garbage time 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...

Matt_In_NH Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 (edited) They were not very good but I have heard way worse. Is that woman still doing games?

GunnerBill Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Just now, Freddie's Dead said: It should have been, followed by an ejection for the deliberate helmet shot to Taiwan's dome. 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?

His funky pronunciations aside I didn't think Beuerlein was that bad. The lead announcer was awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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...
