Billsfan1972 Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 After all the crap about PFF, he was very complimentary about Allen throughout (even as he was not very good early on). The second half he was effusive in his praise. But geez has he ever looked at a map (or was taught geography). Not knowing that Toronto is 100 miles from Buffalo???🙄😡 2 12 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLFan Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 I will eat some crow here. I felt certain we were going to get stilted praise at best for Allen, and that If he did have a poor start we would get some real Allen is trash talk from Chris, but that was not the case. Good job last night. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmur66 Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 C'mon. He has seriously lost a step. Did anyone else catch when he was comparing the current Bills to when they had Brady? He thought he was covering the Patriots! Easy mistake for an old guy I guess because the red uniforms do kind of look like the old Pats uniforms. He is also taking over for Joe Thiesmann. I used to tell him to shut up constantly too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BisonMan Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Re: Canada Americans’ knowledge of geography is generally pretty bad. When I tell people I’m from Buffalo, I’m frequently asked, “So, did you drive into NYC often when you were growing up?”. I had another person tell me that the Niagara River flowed from Lake Ontario to Lake Erie because that was “down” on the map! We’re lucky people know Canada is a separate country. 3 minutes ago, Billsfan1972 said: Well to split hairs from Niagara Falls it is only 80 miles to Toronto.....😉 Depending on how many bars you stop at along the way. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eball Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 I was pleasantly surprised by Collinsworth in the 2nd half. Perhaps it is simply that in general I'm not a fan of announcers who effusively praise players and I'm not used to the Bills being the subject of such praise.

I'm not sure you actually understood his comparison. When he was making that reference, he was comparing JA and Beasley with how Brady always had his over the top receiver (Diggs or Brown for JA) but always had an underneath receiver that was always open for him like Beasley is for Josh. while I am not a Chris Collinsworth fan... he is annoying to listen to because 9 times out of 10 he's always talking about a supposed "special" player like he gets to suck him off after the game if he talks him up enough; he wasn't half bad last night.
