Catholic Guilt Posted November 28, 2005 Author Share Posted November 28, 2005 SHOW SOME REPLAYS!!!! We heard the morons in the booth tell us Steve Smith pushed off on his 30 yard catch. Do you think we'd see a reply? NOPE Lawyer Milloy blitzs and looks like he got chop blocked. As he is laying on the ground injured - no replay cut to commerical break. I cannot take announcers these days. Am I becoming a prude or does it seem a majority of them are unprepared? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ch19079 Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 right after JP threw his INT, they cut away to another game. then after 2 min. they cut back to the bills game. they never showed a replay, or anything. that pissed me off more than JPs INT.

stuckincincy Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 I can't pick on Fox. They show no more than the 70 or so commercials CBS does... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthernMan Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Gotta make some points about the Fox Broadcast of the game yesterday. 1. 514549[/snapback] At least Fox has good equipment and feels the NFL broadcasts that they pay millions for are worth televising consistently in high definition! My main gripe is the Fox pregame bumper music screaming guitar lick that sounds just like the "giddyap giddyap giddyap let's go" line from the Christmas song, Sleighride. Now, everytime I hear Sleighride, I think of Jimmy Johnson and Terry Bradshaw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramius Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 The one problem with Fox is that their little score line at the top of the screen causes epileptic seizures with the way it blinks and flashes every damn play... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fezmid Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 The one problem with Fox is that their little score line at the top of the screen causes epileptic seizures with the way it blinks and flashes every damn play... 514632[/snapback] Agreed. I also don't like how they add subtle sound effects to replays. When a guy gets hit, or jukes, or whatever, you'll here grunts. Maybe some people like that, but it annoys me to no end. But all the games are in HD, so I'd trade CBS for it if I could. CW PS: Bills/Patriots is in HD on CBS in two weeks, so we'll be able to see Buffalo beat the Patriots and tie for first place in the division!!! (gotta stay positive, despite the fact that the odds are against us; people go to Vegas hoping to win money, even though the odds are against them, right? ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfanone Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 I didn't think the coverage was bad at all. Comparatively speaking anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd be cool to record the game, and then have multiple audio tracks -- the Fox broadcast and the radio broadcast -- on the DVDs I make (although, at the rate the Bills are playing, I won't be doing any more DVDs this year... ).

It was not a total Ooo..Carolina this...aaah...Carolina that..... 514581[/snapback] I thought they did a better job than almost any team who has done a Bills game this year...the most important criteria to me is that they didn't annoy the crap out of me...they weren't great, but not as awful as most...

Unlike the top announcing teams I think they mostly stay focused on the game in front of them, and from time to time provide some actual insight into why teams are doing what they're doing.
