GunnerBill Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 I am generally a fan of Collinsworth but then I am generally watching him do SNF games featuring the same dozen teams over and over. Teams he actually knows about and has taken time to get to know. He was not great last night. Sounded like his research involved watching one Bills game and then he thought "that'll do" and cracked open the red wine. He did not sound prepared at all. Was disappointing to be honest because I like the guy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarleyNY Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 7 hours ago, H2o said: I must have said "***** you Collinsworth" or "Shut the ***** up Collinsworth" at least 400 times combined. My 14 year old asked, " How did he get this job?" A few years ago the phrase “Shut up, Chris!” became a saying in my house. It was said so many times during SNF that it became the go to phrase used when someone said something inane or ridiculously obvious. My kids, now 14 & 16, started that. (No, no one in the house is named Chris.). Sadly, it’s use has waned. It was hilarious. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JESSEFEFFER Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 4 hours ago, White Linen said: All QB's depend on receivers making a few excellent catches a game. Allen is no different. Allen's throws are tough to adjust to based on shear time. Soft tosses with lots of air are easy to adjust to and make the throw seem accurate. Derrick Burroughs. That's where it started.

sherpa Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 I have no problem with the legitimate and deserved criticism of Allen's technical errors, and frankly, I getting a little tire of them. But....The third quarter was nothing more than a Steeler's documentary narrated by this crew. I was expecting them to break out an Ancestry.com report on the Rooney family, or maybe stop the game for a Rooney grandchild parade. It was overwhelming.

4merper4mer Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 14 minutes ago, Bob in STL said: 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. A couple picked the Bills to win. I think it was 4-3 Pitt counting the country vote which was clearly miscalculated because someone said people in Tennessee forgot the Bills exist.

Billsfan1972 Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Collinsworth was looking to continue the Allen narrative & was giddy when Allen threw a terrible swing pass to Beasley & then a high though catchable pass that was intercepted. Rounded it out with the low throw to Dimarco. Was he right? Probabaly, however didn't say that they were catchable (& Brown Alligator armed a great pass). Did he critique Duck at all? Yes he said the second White Int was terrible, however did not seem as negative when talking about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebandit27 Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 I enjoy Collinsworth as much as anyone, and he was insufferable last night. He must've said "Josh Allen's biggest problem is" at least 3 times in the first quarter alone. Chris, he can't possibly be that bad. The Bills were up 7-3 in the 2nd, and he and Al talked about the Steelers for 7 straight minutes. Um, guys, the Bills are 9-4 (at the time) and winning in prime time on the road. They exist. Do your job and talk about them. Then the total lack of any recognition when he leads a go-ahead scoring drive in the 4th. Gross. I really do like the SNF team. CC is brilliant with his breakdowns and Al is affable as can be. Michelle Tafoya is as sharp and poignant as any sideline reporter in the business...but they had a really bad night from a quality standpoint. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed the same thing. I like John Brown and all, but when are people going to realize that his increased production is due to Allen? Brown has not really been making spectacular grabs, Allen puts the ball right on the numbers more often than not. A lot of Brown’s production is on throws Allen makes that many other QBs can’t. 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. I'm pretty convinced that if his name was just Jeff & he had no nickname we wouldn't have heard nearly as much praise...but I guess it's good TV to say duck? ?♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finn Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 What bothered me more was the drivel about the Steelers coaching legacy, the glory of the Rooney family, and meandering reminisces about days gone by--during the action! Forget analysis of the play that just happened and the one coming up, let's just have a cozy chat about the old days. Why is he considered a top analyst? Give me Romo any day.

Years ago when he started, I thought he was very good. Once he got some hype he went douche and never came back. The Steelers were on a pretty nice run and playing excellent defense.

BBills83 Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 I didn't mind the slight Pitt bias because Collinsworth did give props to plenty of Buffalo talent plus coaching, ownership and the fans. I just got tired of the yammering on about things other than specific play by play analysis. Too much gab while football is being played as if he and Al had more important things to say vs the importance of the play on the field. I just don't need to here him ramble on. Ear plugs please and Go Bills. Take down the cheaters in Foxboro then rest against the Jets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
