Chris Collinsworth: Bills haven't been to the playoffs in a long long time

Colinsworth and Michaels have gotten substantially worse. If I had to guess at why, I’d posit that Michaels is slowing down with age and not retaining information as well as he used. The result is CC failing at holding up the broadcast like Michaels used to. The leading questions and commentary that kept CC on point and interesting is mostly gone now.

What a bozo. 

They really pay this guy to be a football "analyst "?

 

I laughed my ass off at that one 3 out of 4 years jackazz ;)

 

My other favorite hot take was  Al commenting on Josh's  completion percentage going up this year ...that he dink and dunked his way to 69%.

 

Did he even watch any Bills games this year?

 

Give me Tirico with Drew Brees all day long and let Al and Chris retire.

Same as me.  I can remember seating arrangements in high school homeroom, yet I forget now why I walked out to the kitchen.  Oh well, might as well make a sandwich while I am here. 😁

See. I just keep forgetting that I already drank a beer. My lagging memory hasn’t been kind to my waistline.

He realizes we have been in the playoffs recently.


He was trying to say that teams that have been down for a while are suddenly alive in the playoffs and it's fun to watch.  Tampa, Cleveland, Bills.   


He didn't do a great job of saying it.  

 

 

That's the problem. He gets paid to talk and he's not particularly good at it.

All I’ve got to say about CC is,  “now here’s a guy”

 Opinions of color analysts never bother me. What bothers me is that most of them just offer up a narration of exactly what we just saw with our own eyes. Few of them seem capable of actually adding any insight, let alone any keen insight into the game. There’s Romo and everybody else as far as I’m concerned. Collinsworth may be as affable as they come, but he’s not very good at his job.

The way he spoke last night sure made him sound like he rrrrrreally wanted the Ravens to win. Lamar Jackson could've sneeze-farted himself off the bench and Collinsworth would've been like, "Oh my, he is just so incredibly, unbelievably, extraordinarily amazing, Al. I mean, when we call his games, I know to pack at least 7 or 8 extra pairs of slacks because I know I'm gonna ruin quite a few! Heck, I had to change twice before the game even started!" He's a goon.

You guys don’t realize how hard that job is to not have dead air and keep it moving.   I really think he was talking about really being a factor in the playoffs.  Based on what he said I agree it was not accurate for the bills but I’m not butt hurt at all 

Yeah, the color guy does have to fill empty air time. 

But he's paid millions to do so. 

Dont tell me things that aren't true, like the Bills and playoffs, Allen missing Diggs because he threw a line drive (he didn't, watch the throw, looked like Allen was pulling a string to get air under it), or Bills had no called running plays in the first half. 

 

Do some homework. Read this message board. Get some interns to do some research. 

Tell me about Bills salary cap quandary for next year. 

Tell me that PFF rating Milano as 41 out of 80 LB is simply wrong. 

Tell me about Dion Dawkins writing style (it's got a serious TomWolfe influence) and what he wrote about in his latest post. Just rehashing the info in Dawkins post could fill 10 minutes of air time. 

Tell me about games in windy OP where a punt actually went backwards. 

Tell me stats about which NFL QB throw with highest velocity based on radar guns. 

 

Really it's not hard.

Collinsworth waxed poetic on Allen the entire pittsburgh game. and he was not unfair tonight. people hear what they wanna hear. He says a few dumb things, but he has a fun personality and he does have good insight. 

 

It is funny how different fans interpret these things. I noticed the Baltimore fans were complaining about the amount of love Collinsworth was giving Allen. To be fair to him he does seem to really like Allen and did complement him a lot.

A huge component of our fan base seems to *need* to feel like we are totally disrespected by everyone, all the time.

 

Oh, and the refs are all out to screw us (and only us) in every game we play.

 

I'm sure the fans around the league feel the same way about their team too.

I caught that and thought huh?

 

Didn't he also say Lamar is a pure pocket passer or something?

i think it was something along of the lines of "what people don't know about lamar jackson is that he is a pocket passer. if you go back and watch his tape from Louisville..."

I do think the NBC production was bad last night. Missed a lot of replays that should've been shown. And I also think some of the insight and/or talking points we expect from the guys is supposed to come from the guys in production.

Well the Buffalo Bills themselves are posting things today from a National pundit moron with his bad take on the Bills/Ravens game. So I guess it’s not just Bills fans who seem to *need* to complain about being disrespected. Kind of ruins that narrative you’ve got going huh?
