Collinsworth was almost impossible to listen to.

[Inigo Montoya]

Collinsworth was horrific last night.  He doesn't even attempt to be balanced in his commentary.  It got so bad Collinsworth was actually trending on Twitter for a while about how one sided his commentary was.  These weren't Bills fans, they were neutral football fans bombing Collinsworth.  

 

He raked Josh over the coals for his intentional grounding and made it sound like Josh does that all the time.  I'll take ONE play like that, a play that fails when Josh starts to improvise if I also get to take the other FIVE amazing plays he makes running around back there like Houdini.  Case in point, the long Knox TD.  Should Allen have just thrown the ball away on that play?  That ability to extend a play is a huge part of Allen's game and is much more of a benefit than a liability for this offense.  Just another ignorant take on Collinsworth's part.  

 

Every time the Bills failed to make a play in the second half Collinsworth had to chime in that if the Bills lose this game "this could be the moment" where it all started to slip away. It's like he was just trying to will a miraculous Mahomes comeback into existence.... just because he wanted to see it so badly.

 

But the Gold Medal for Collinsworth ignorance goes to his commentary on Frank Clark's roughing penalty on Allen.  Collinsworth said that in the morning everyone will be talking about that call and how it changed the game.  If you want to start arguing bad penalties in this game I'm down for that.  That roughing penalty against Clark was a hell of a lot more roughing than Oliver's roughing penalty against Mahomes.  It also was a bigger penalty than the BS holding penalty called on Morse on the play right before Clark's roughing call.  That phantom hold brought back a Josh Allen scramble for a 1st down.

 

Collinsworth made it sound like that roughing penalty was somehow the turning point in the entire game.  Never mind the Bills defense and special teams coming up with a +4 turnover differential, or a Mahomes Pick Six, or the Bills winning by THREE scores in Arrowhead.  It was all that bogus roughing the passer penalty in the fourth quarter of the game.  That's why the Bills won.  What a bunch of crap.

 

Collinsworth has no business doing national broadcasts.  He needs to take a job with the Bucs or the Chiefs so he can just call their games and b*ll wash Brady and Mahomes full time.

We’ll thought out argument and I agree. Kudos.
 

Pretty sure you spelled his name wrong in the title tho.

Collinsworth awful

Collingsworth is just mad that Josh Allen keeps defeating math itself and making PFF look stupid.

[Bad Things]

Don't forget the constant ball-washing he was giving Steve Spagnuolo about being a defensive genius. 

He talked and talked about "Spags" a lot, but didn't mention that his defense is in last place.

 

But of course, he kept on yammering about KC's defense instead of saying a word about Daboll and his offense.

 

If was shockingly one-sided.

When Josh threw that touchdown dagger at the end of the game he did call Josh the MVP

The way he went on and on and on about how Spagger McSpagface loves to blitz on 3rd and long… change the sodding record.  It was like being trapped in conversation with an old lady who just repeats the same sentence over and over with the words in a slightly different order each time. 

[Your Brown Eye]

Down 38-20, Chiefs make a 1 yard run on first down, Chris Collinsworth: "The Chiefs are roaring back into the game"

 

 

 

I usually don't b**** and moan about the commentary, but good Lord was that painful to listen to. I had to question myself a few times if I am watching the same game as Chris Collinsworth. 

[PaoloBillsFanFromItaly]

In my opinion the worst was when it called "blatant" the DPI of White on Kelce.

It seemed to me that Travis dragged Tre into the ground, moreover the ball was not receivable.

One reason to mute however had to use the Sirius internet radio feed so was about a minute behind folks who were texting me.

Just imagine if a player twisted Tom Brady's Kotex like this?? Ejection and suspension I'm sure! Josh needs to start getting some star treatment now too.

I just honestly don't get why guys like this just despise Allen and the Bills.

Agree - he didn't say another word about Oliver's very questionable roughing call - complete double standard.

[Steptide]

Ive never liked Collinsworth calling games. Doesn't matter what game it is, it's always brutal. I do enjoy al Michaels though. Wish they'd find him a new partner

We muted and just watched .  Didn’t miss a thing without him.

 

What an absolutely terrible crew calling a marquee game.  I wish the NFL would step in and get them off the air, but it is NBCs embarrassment.

I muted and watched it on the Telemundo Deportes app. It was awesome. Even if you didn't understand Spanish, you could follow what they were saying. And not just no Cris Collingsworth, no Michelle Tafoya either!

The Mahomes nut-hugging is out of control. They even had a PIP of his face when he wasn’t in the game. Romo is just as bad.

I made a comment about this during broadcast. It’s ridiculous

Collinsworth did not appreciate the fact his golden boy was shut down last night, but hey, who cares we still got the win.

Well, they are paid to hate on the Bills. Come on... Did you exist in the 90's? X-files even hated on us... You don't need to believe me; here is proof:

 

 

I know... I'm old... But it's part of our "cultural heritage" to hate on the Bills.

 

Also, that kinda BS makes me love us, even more!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[All_Pro_Bills]

In the sequence the roughing call on Clark was bad.  The holding call on Morse was worse.  The Penalty Gods evened it out.  Collingsworth's commentary.  Not so even..  The Bills were the better team last night.  The Better team won..

They even doubled down and hired douche junior for pre-game stuff.  Only 45 more years of this.

[Sharky7337]

Just think he got his son to carry his torch cause daddy called in a favor too

[Perry Turtle]

Collinsworth came up with a narrative before the game started, and then tried to fit his call of the game to that narrative.

 

He obviously saw the Chiefs as some kind of sleeping giant who was going to flip some switch to take down the overmatched Bills.

 

Mahomes and Reid weren't a couple of guys who can't figure out the Tampa 2 defense, they were unstoppable geniuses who only needed a couple of plays to figure out this pesky defense.  He even chided the Bills for not blitzing.

 

Defensively you would have thought that the Chiefs were thr 85 Bears instead of one of the worst units in the League this year.

 

Collinsworth pulled his script from last year, completely missing the fact that the Bills were playing better football than KC this year.  They even played that stupid graphic claiming the Bills haven't beaten any good QBs this year, missing the fact that the Bills didn't just beat those QBs, they annihilated them.

 

Collinsworth approach was bad because it was formulaic, tired, and lazy.  You wonder if he actually has followed what has been going on in the league this season.

[Golden*Wheels]

Yeah he seemed to think he was a narrator trying to put some foreshadowing on ***** every other second rather than just....announcing the game.

 

And I almost lost it when he talked about the "little extra" on Josh's leg or whatever. Wow. At least Josh doesn't cry like Pat did last night.

[SCBills]

Collinsworth loves him some of the league mandated wonderboy.  
 

That’s just a typical SNF when Mahomes plays. 
 

Seemed like he couldn’t come to terms with the idea that……

 

…..Josh might be better. 

[mead107]

He has sucked on every game

Every time this duo calls our games I just want to hear Van Miller or Murph
