He got killed and cheap shot the entire game and was never called until that last drive. He deserved about 4-5 other calls. Denver went high and late on him all game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hail2skins Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 I wasn't that excited about tuning in last night but I'm glad I did.....thought it was a fun game to watch. I was wondering why I liked this game as opposed to the Super Bowl, which I thought was somewhat dreadful. I've always thought that for me, a lot has to do with what network its on. Michaels and Collinsworth just seem to have that cadence to make any game seem exciting. The CBS announcers, on the other hand, always just seem boring. And that includes Simms and Nantz....not that I have anything against either personally. Maybe its because I'm so used to watching Fox because of the Skins.

Momma There Goes That Man Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 I agree. There is a reason Nantz is an amazing golf announcer. He doesn't suit football. Gumbel has no personality and Simms is annoying, foolish and a disaster to me. Even the CBs pregame is a mess. I hate having to listen to muffled Cowher speak as if he's in a soundproof box. Bart Scott...who knows what the hell that guy brings to the team. Bow-ties maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are any of the pre-game shows any good? I think NBC's pregame is dreadful, and fully scripted... which is sad because they really offer no insight. Let's also not forget the forced Toyota commercial that they actually segue into from the Halftime "analysis" show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BornaSkinsFan83 Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 CBS has felt subpar in every aspect for as long as I can remember. Even 20 years ago it felt dated and stale next to the other networks' broadcasts. I'll forever be thankful that the Skins aren't an AFC team.

But Howie, Chris and Jimmie have been there forever. They're clowns but they're my clowns at least. And there is some fun to be had at least. It doesn't feel overproduced down to the second like ESPN or boring like CBs and NBC. Dungy and Harrison? Yawn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only complaint is - like very show - they have way too many analysts/talkers/reporters. It's so strange to me that the single best sports show of the last 20 years is the three man Chuck/Kenny/Ernie NBA show....and even THAT keeps getting screwed with. By the way, I do feel like the league is at a pretty serious crossroads here. It probably won't ultimately matter since a gazillion people love the NFL. Still, they are policing the game to an insane degree while - at the same time - still allowing players to be treated like something out of The Hunger Games. During that last drive, I felt guilty that I was watching a man get his brain scrambled and frustrated over ticky-tack penalties and delays and reviews and time outs. The NFL is slowly becoming "boring guilt" for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes they are clowns, and can be fun. It's really been a few years that I've watched much of any pregame, unless it's for Sunday/Monday night games. Yeah, I wholeheartedly agree with you about Dungy and Harrison... really bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pjfootballer Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Living in the Charlotte area and having to endure the "Super Bowl" around here last year, I'm in full, "let them lose all their damn games" mode as it was unbearable having them go 15-1 last year. Some of you youngsters may not remember, but CBS used to have the NFC games and it was great with Brent "I'm drooling over Katherine Webb" Musberger, Jimmy "The Greek" Snyder, Irv Cross, Jayne Kennedy (Yes please ) and Phyllis George (Yes please ). NBC had the AFC. One of my favorite game day announcers was Charlie Jones on NBC. He had such a weird, distinctive voice, but I loved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watch the fantasy football programs on ESPN 2 and NFL RedZone leading up to the games. Nothing today could touch the great pregame show CBS had back in the 80s. Hearing Brent Musburger start with "You are looking live at RFK Stadium" always got me ready for some football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lombardi's_kid_brother Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Jimmy The Greek being on television makes no more sense now than it did 35 year ago. Also, I have a cousin who was a bookie near Steubenville, Ohio. He swore to his dying day that the Greek owed him money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickyJ Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 CBS's commentary is fine in the late afternoon, a boring relaxing commentary to wind-down to after biting my nails on a Skins game the last few hours. Night games, though? Nah. They put me to sleep then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Sinister Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Yeah.... When your QB is a human wrecking ball on 3rd down short yardage and goal line, he isn't going to get the same treatment as your average pocket oriented qb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
