Greg S Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Mark J. Rebilas-USA TODAY Sports The AFC runner-up Buffalo Bills and the AFC North Champion Pittsburgh Steelers have drawn the number 2 announcing crew from CBS on opening weekend. Ian Eagle, Charles Davis, and Evan Washburn will be on the call from Orchard Park as a raucous crowd returns to Highmark Stadium in full voice for the first time in almost two years. The AFC Champion Kansas City Chiefs hosting the Wild Card Cleveland Browns have drawn the top commentating trio of Jim Nantz, Tony Romo, and Tracy Wolfson. The Bills vs Dolphins tilt in Week 2 is on FOX, so the announcing pairings have yet to be released. Here are the CBS announcer pairings for the year: Jim Nantz, Tony Romo, Tracy Wolfson Ian Eagle, Charles Davis, Evan Washburn Kevin Harlan, Trent Green, and Melanie Collins Greg Gumbel, Adam Archuleta, AJ Ross Andrew Catalon, James Lofton Spero Dedes, Jay Feely Tom McCarthy, Tiki Barber 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg S Posted August 25, 2021 Author Share Posted August 25, 2021 (edited) I am surprised CBS would give up the Bills-Dolphins game to FOX. That is a pretty good AFC matchup. Edited August 25, 2021 by Greg S 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Feels about right to me. KC v Cleveland is the clear marquee game but I think Bills v Steelers is a legit #2. Anyone miss the days of Spero Dedes and Solomon Wilcots every single week? At one point I thought they were the official Bills announcers they did us so much... thinking late Gailey / Marrone era. 5 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His little tick of saying who is at left tackle every play grates on me. "Dawkins is at the left tackle". I know a lot of other announcers tell you who is in the backfield and I am not sure why it should be different but it just is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brand J Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Greg Gumble has fallen off. Used to be with the #1 team once upon a time. 59 minutes ago, BuffaninSarasota said: Kevin Harlan is the GOAT Gus Johnson might have something to say about that. Always enjoyed his enthusiasm. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freddie's Dead Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 How f'd up is CBS if Kevin Harlan is 3rd on the depth chart behind Ian Eagle? Eagle must have pictures. Kevin Harlan is the best play-by-play caller on TV today. Nance is only #1 because he's a corporate pretty boy. I hope Harlan gets a lot of Bills games this year. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
