Tony Romo

I really enjoyed Romo's commentary today. Early he spotted a Bill's defensive coverage stop, really gave Allen his flowers, talked about how Pitt was getting momentum and it was nervous time for Buffalo. His enthusiasm was really good.

 

The only thing I disagreed with was the Hyde and Poyer comments. 

 

Overall, he did an outstanding job. I kind of get the feeling he's secretly cheering for the Bills.

I'm sure everyone at CBS would rather broadcast a game with Mahomes vs Allen than Mahomes vs Rudolph.  

 

Edit: The CBS game would be on Sunday night no matter what. Since the winner of Bills/Pittsburgh had to play on Sunday, if Pittsburgh had won it would have been Pittsburgh at Baltimore with Rudolph vs Jackson.  Then the Houston at KC would have been on Saturday night on ABC.

The combo of Romo and Nantz are my top commentary team.   I guess people just got annoyed listening to Romo but I’d much rather hear him over that tool Chris Collingsworth any day.  
 

I’m also a big fan of Kevin Harlan and Trent Green.  I remember Harlan was one of the lower ranking teams and he always drew Bills games during the end of the drought.  He made those game fun.

He talks a lot. I can do without the “That could be the play of the game, Jim!” on like an incompletion on 2&5 in the first quarter.

 

I’ll take him over talk-laughing Aikman and Colinsworth. And I do like that Romo messes with Nantz and is always right on top of his silly jokes. Tonight, Nantz was waxing on The Shining, which was nice.

I noticed that the NFL on CBS twitter account shared a clip where Romo said “The Bills just might still win the AFC East.”  They promoted it as though he predicted them winning it, so he’s probably just routing for his take

Agreed. Called a great game. 
 

I don’t understand the recent criticisms of him. He offers actual x and o analysis— probably the only guy that does so.

Every game he commentates he praises Josh non stop. He gets it as a former QB. He actually praises every QB when he is on the broadcast and points out errors. He’s one of the few I can listen to intently to or still have on in the background to describe what’s going on. Enjoyable.

I like Harlan but can’t stand Green

He did a good job but I almost threw up in my mouth when he celebrated our coaching staff at the end of the game. Good win but the game should’ve been over much sooner if Joe Brady ran the dang ball and didn’t take that quarter and a half break

I really like Romo's commentary generally. But today, & yes this is a petty criticism, he was hyping up the Steelers offense and Rudolph when they were driving saying they had found something, but completely leaving out that the something was we were missing 5 starters. That's a Chris Collinsworthy thing to do & I was a bit disappointed & annoyed (I get he was hyping the game, which is part of the job). But overall I agree he's the best commentator out there IMO

i love that romo analyzes why a play went wrong, he scrutinizes reviews well, and why a penalty was or wasn't called. and he calls what he sees, for better or worse. as far as josh goes, ya he loves him. if you aren't a bills fan you are definitely complaining about the way he slobbers all over him.

I agree. I also like Olsen too. He's good with the X's and O's

Nothing against Nance but Harlan is the best play by play guy.  I would like him paired with romo.  

you could argue that harlan is better than nantz, but nantz and romo have a good thing going together. nantz should get to go out with that team if he wants.

I agree they are a good pairing. Harlan deserves the spotlight somewhere.  Maybe Thursday night eventually.

Just wait until next week when Mahomes is our opposing QB. He will be insufferable again.  

I’m not worried at all about Romo complimenting Mahomes because there will be such little room for it with Collinsworth permanently attached to Patrick’s scrote.

Nantz taking about being stuck in the hotel like the shining made me laugh

And Romo as the reason for the Pitt time out with 2 seconds left. "Someone had to go to the bathroom".

He and Nantz have good chemistry, and I like his rumblings and enthusiasm. People like to critique over nothing.

Oh my goodness yes. Of course that is the must have down Tony. They're losing by more than 7. He's just overly excited for no reason. I get it that he's trying to add something to a game that other commentators normally don't, but it's quite annoying.
