BuffaninSarasota Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Disagree...he has a weirdly effeminate voice with almost a breathless whisper. He also has a bad habit of talking almost into the upcoming play. Alan Pergament would agree with me 😄 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TC in St. Louis Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 I thought he was rooting for the Patriots. He let his feelings show when they were called for illegal motion inside the 10. He said this: "Oh my God, no! Ugh!" Maybe he was trying to keep the viewers tuned in when the game looked one-sided. But at times I thought I had the Pats audio. 3 hours ago, HOUSE said: I was very impressed but I had my volume off I already know everything there is to know about Mac Jones, even his birthday ..

Slippery Rubber Mats Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 I'll admit there was less slobbering on Jones than I anticipated. So I'll give Greg some credit for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westside Madness Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 He lost me right from the jump with his comments about BB only running against the Bills because he trusted his defense as opposed to the wind and the fact that the Bills can't stop my mother from a 5 yard rush down the middle. I mean, yes, they won, it was impressive, but BB doesn't needs some additional made up pats on the back (see what I did there?). Someone during the broadcast said 'person X is having a whale of a day!' That made me laugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reks Ryan Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 I thought J. Vilma did a decent job as analyst on Bills Carolina game today. He and Olsen are better than some of ex-QBs in the booth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mountain Man Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 I think he's one of the weakest about, and a product of the obsession with trying to find the next Romo amongst recent players. He's done a lot better as a studio analyst when I've seen him than as a commentator and in a couple of years that'll be his future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
