MJS Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 I didn't notice anything too bad. I hate him and his annoying voice, but that's every game he does. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary with this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First time I have ever seen a post achieve such varying responses. Not sure you meant this as a compliment, but thank you anyway.

MiltonWaddams Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 I always get the sense that Collinsworth is a bit of an optimist , picking players who have the great storyline and constantly pumping them up. Duck and Washington were those guys on the Steelers and Edmunds and Brown were the Bills he chose. I hardly thought he was overly biased and his points on JA reflected my own. He was not good for the second straight game. His footwork and ball placement were poor at best and there was an entire quarter of football (3rd) where he looked completely horrid. It’s tough to get the biggest game of the week and not take issue with a prevailing media bias against our Bills, but Collinsworth was definitely not inaccurate or terrible in calling a Bills win.

Bookie Man Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 I remember really disliking his commentary when I was a kid. I can't remember who the Bills were playing, but he wouldn't shut up about the other team and he just kept glossing and glossing over them. I didn't know who he was, but I just remember thinking he was terribly annoying. Him and Joe Buck... the 2 worst to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does need to be more accurate. All QB's depend on receivers making a few excellent catches a game. Allen is no different. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Do The Reich Thing Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 I actually really like Collinsworth. Sure he says a lot of things that make you roll your eyes, but he does that to all fans for all teams, and all commentators do that. You can’t please everyone at every moment. He actually has really good analysis most of the time. Chris is like a folk legend. I can’t help, but love his horribly great slide into the camera at the beginning of every Sunday night game.

PaoloBillsFanFromItaly Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 I like his technical comments, but yesterday he and Al were broadcasting as Steelers fans. On the final interception Al HAD TO announce with some emotion, it's his damn job, instead he seemed he was very depressed for the Pitsburgh comeback that fell short. In the same moment I was about to scream with joy, but it was 5 AM in Italy, and I live in an apartment... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njbuff Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Why do you people get so butt hurt by announcers? Well, I always go into a game with the predetermined notion that the announcers won't know anything about the Bills. In this manner I am never too disappointed with broadcast. ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The steelers are on national TV like 5 times a year. Everyone knows their story. They are the six time Super Bowl Champs. The Rooney Family ownership. The terrible towel. Their coach Mike Tomlin was on the TV screen more times than I could count. How about talking about the Bills Owners. The Bills coach and Josh Allen. I heard the Duck ? word so many times I wanted to vomit. Bills get one Sunday night game in like 15 years. But no NBC is just going to talk about everything Pittsburgh. Why not let other football fans find out about who the Bills are and what their all about. Just a disgusting decision to broadcast it that way. For me, one of the worst broadcasts ever was the Teddy Bruschi comeback game on ESPN. Let me start out by saying I do recognize that it was amazing for him to come back and play after a stroke. However, that broadcast was way over the top. They must’ve shown him a thousand times. Bills make a big play on offense, they show Bruschi. Bills score a TD, they showed Bruschi. Bills make a big defensive play, they showed Bruschi. I thought for sure he was going to be the first person to be canonized as a saint while still alive and there would be a news break during a Bills broadcast just as they were in position to score a winning TD. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing seemed out of the ordinary with this one. During the game at one point he said "The Steelers have won Championships with teams just like this something something 2006". He made some points during the game about similarities between the teams. After the game he called the Bills 2-3 years away. It's not really out of the ordinary because he sucks most weeks. Years ago when he started, I thought he was very good. Once he got some hype he went douche and never came back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 14 year old asked, " How did he get this job?" Same. I said exactly the same , ok , well, 20 times. Media bias. Why the h didn't he just say it; " Duck Hodges is not an NFL quarterback". Man, I was literally turning the sound down between plays. the next guy that says "second playoff appearance this century", the set goes out the window. I miss Ian Eagle and the C team.

Bob in STL Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 I thought his constant harping on Steelers injuries was over the top and he could have talked more about the Bills. He threw out a few accolades to the Bills rebuild but mostly questioned Allen’s play and our receiver corps. Not that he was wrong, but it got old. Michaels had nothing good to say about us and is clearly disappointed to see us move into higher echelons of the NFL. He was the more disappointing of the two. The country picked Bills, none of the panel of experts did though. Typical for our team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
