How brutal were these announcers today?
You would think this match-up would have warranted a little better quality.
terrible they kept screwing ip the score and yes two of the best teams in the NFC get this D list crew is just dumb.
At the very beginning of the game, they went to the sideline reporter for a quick field update. The reporter says 'the hashes were incorrectly painted 7 inches to close together, and that the refs will re position the ball accordingly. We'll update you as this develops.'
... crickets...
I didn't even notice a ball placed off the hash marks all game. Their kicker (Bryant) lined up for a few kicks positioned on the hash and it looked normal to me...
They didn't talk about it again all game.
It feels like they are the radio team for the other team. I think this is 4 out last 5 weeks
They were convinced the Vikings were going to be called for running into the kicker when it was obvious that Hunter was tackled by the Falcons.
The other option is Buck and Aikman! Brutal either way.
Got the score wrong once as well. Said it was 9-6. To their credit they corrected themselves
This is their #2 crew...a steaming pile of #2...give me Brenenman...but honestly, I just tune these guys out for the most part...

Brutal.
I've complained about Charles Davis for 3 of the last 4 weeks. It's like he's watching a completely different game and does absolutely zero prep work for the teams he's covering that week. ( or he uses old information) these 2 make the commentary so bad it really makes the games a little torturous.
Absolute crap.
So....... Who are acceptable announcers? About the only guy I ever hear getting praised is Romo. I'm not saying I disagree with the take about the current group, but there has to be announcing teams to take their place. Buck and Troy are FAR worse in my dislike book. Who would we be accepting of to call our games?
Was there announcers, damn I keep forgetting to take the game off of mute. Oh well, guess I didn't miss much.

I was just impressed Fox found yet anther way to cram in more commercials
& they will sit in meetings wondering why viewership is down...
After the fencing analogy, I was waiting for a reference to curling or water polo.

Of course, they're probably stick him on the sidelines for some reason.@"AllBS" said: So....... Who are acceptable announcers? About the only guy I ever hear getting praised is Romo.

She's been around the game long enough.
Thankfully I watch the games with about 60 Vikings fans hollering the whole game. So I never hear Bucks whining or this crew. On the flip side most fans at the Venue are somewhat naive about the team and the NFL. Most didn't realize we could run the clock out at the end and were worried we would give them the ball back with time left on the clock.
That Tom Moore guy drives me crazy. He is constantly asking questions I want to know the answers to.
