Kevin Wilson Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 2 hours ago, Lawful Metal said: Dumb question: why don't NFL broadcast from a north - south angle / madden view / all 22 angle? Why are we stuck with this left to right view point where we can't even see the wide receivers/ defensive backs battle? Always strange how no one has ever even tried it. If it's good enough for Madden, why not for tv? I don't know if this is "the" answer, but since it has been left/right for so long due to filming limitations in the past, it may be too jolting to long time fans if they suddenly put it north/south. The technology is there now if they wanted to but I could see that leading to a lot of complaints. In the long run I think people would get used to it and it would be great, but the adjustment time and risk of annoying fans when their viewership is already decreasing is probably too big of a risk for the anti-risk NFL. Being able to watch the receivers/defense is my biggest joy of seeing games in person. You don't really think about how much you miss watching games on TV until you are there live and can actually see plays develop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supremebve Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 I feel like moving the cameras would be something I'd love, but everyone around me would constantly complain about why the camera is like that. Never underestimate how much people hate change, nor how little most people actually understand about football. The game works the way it works, because we get to blame the random cornerback for getting burned even if it's not his fault the receiver scored a touchdown. Why would they show something most of the audience wouldn't understand in the first place? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyrod is one of those dudes who seems to understand who he is as a player and what plays he's capable of making. He doesn't turn the ball over, he runs when he needs to, and is a better passer than people give him credit for. He's the best Bills quarterback since Jim Kelly. What about Flutie?

PetrolCB Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 I'm watching the lousy ass Thursday game, because why not? Nothing is on. Tirico (What? Where'd he come from?) mentions Brian Cushing being suspended 10 games for PEDs. I may be misremembering, but has this dude ever completed a full year without getting popped for something? I swear, every time I see his name he's hurt or suspended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The answer is that the camera can't easily follow the action in vertical. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Travis Lulay is also a ginger QB, he is out for the year with a fucky knee (again), and he still could have made that throw on one leg. This game is hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig H Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Dalton was fucking horrible. I watched all of this game and regret it. The Colts shitbag QB feels much better about himself after watching Dalton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetrolCB Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 In all honesty, has there EVER been a good Thursday night game? I cannot recall a single solitary one. It's like watching an NCAA ESPN 11pm crap bag game, which I've never done, as I refuse to watch college ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
