I need to watch this game again because I was at a watch party and too much going on. I hope it is replayed because i forgot to dvr it

 

NFL Network should replay it this week, they don't have it on the schedule yet, just a lot of "Teams To Be Announced".  

 

There's also NFL+, the game is up there now.

They are both good.  Romo was a bit of a KC homer yesterday, kinda pulled back later in the game.

 

What I want from Romo is more insider football knowledge.  When he started, he would call what he thought the next play was.  Understand how that probably doesn’t sit well with coaches.  Would like more explanation of what the QB saw on a play, or why a play worked.

I couldn't really hear Romo over the crowd noise

The production director can make this go anyway he/she wants. He's on a directional mic. I guess I can go either way with it but I do like to hear Romo's take. 

 

How many here saw pre-snap Davis 1:1 (TD) and screamed at their TV for Josh to target him?

AGREED!

Loved Romo in the beginning. Who the flip cares what coaches hear!?  He is there for US not THEM.

If other coaches are learning from a Romo Broadcast, they suck at their jobs.

It's too bad John Madden never got to call a game with Josh Allen. I think Allen would have been a favorite player of Madden's. 


Apparently he was, even if he didn't say so publicly. From Tim Graham's article last month:

 

“John Madden was fixated by Josh Allen,” said Los Angeles Times reporter Sam Farmer, who communicated regularly with Madden until the football icon’s December death. In texts, Madden referred to Allen as “an animal,” “a beast” and “worth the price of admission.”

Thought Nantz was biased against us but that could be my bias thinking everyone else is biased against us. Romo was great as always.

Nantz is biased FOR the Bills. He has a good relationship with Josh Allen.

Dick Ebersol's been on record saying that Romo's mailing it in

Romo is the best I've ever heard as a color guy in any sport and it's not close. He has a way of talking about the action that brings tremendous insight to people that already know the game as well as casual fans who might not always know what they're seeing. John Madden had the latter, but being able to combine the two seamlessly while being entertaining is a an extremely rare gift.

I agree with that assessment of Romo.  He is good for big fans and casual fans alike.  I think that is the difference.  Tim McCarver was always seen as a great baseball analyst but he’d just explain overly simplistic things as if someone was watching their first game.  That’s fine but not enough.  Romo does both.
