BloodyChamp Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 I’ve never posted in this folder and probably shouldn’t open this can of worms but I just had to come and vent to a group of people, wrestling fans, who know what good announcing is worth and how fatal bad announcing can be. This Pats/Buccs game is the worst announcing I’ve ever heard. I’d rather listen to the worst regional wrestling announcer, worst son of a promoter ever etc than this. We get it Cris Tom is missing throws by 8 feet because of the rain, the moderate rain that he’s selling like it was the rain from the 3-0 Buccs game vs the Chiefs in the 70s (Google it if you don’t know it heck of a story). Even when they’re actually calling the game instead of damage controlling for Brady they’re just terrible. They’re negative about everything but a good passing play. They would have called the Ice Bowl and said the Cowboys are struggling because of the snow. The Cowboys of course is to Al what Brady is to Cris. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloodyChamp Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 That holding play against the Buccs where the he was pulling the guy’s head to far back that his helmet touched his back Cris goes I guuuueeeeesssss that’s a hooooolllld????? And this game is just plain not what Favre vs Rodgers was in 2009 or Young vs Montana in 1994. It wasn’t from the start and these 2 idiots are only sabotaging what it was worth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said it like that because the flag thrown was for hands to the face when it was actually a hold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was the last major sports stadium fully funded out of pocket? Is it the Pistons building the Palace of Auburn Hills in the late 80's? There has to be something more recent, right?

Abe Pollin paid for the now Cap One Area which basically saved that entire part of DC and that was the mid-late 90s (the city did pay some costs like expanded the Metro service to the area but the arena itself was paid for by Pollin) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Death From Above Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 I genuinely believe the Bears are going to go on a Cubs-level multi-generational slump. I don't actually think I'll see them win a championship in my lifetime, and this pleases me very much as a Packers fan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bears Twitter is losing their mind over this and half of them (rightfully so) want Matt Nagy’s head on a pike. Dalton has so clearly been no more than the 32nd-best QB in the league throughout his career, and while he's still, uh, 60th? 63rd? It's not like you'd really want to start a guy in that position ahead of Fields when you can see what you have in Fields instead. If you went to every other team with a rookie QB and said, "You have to win your next game or your franchise gets deleted, do you take your guy or do you want Dalton?", not a one of them would make the switch right now. SF might be the only exception and that's only because the rest of their team is good enough to slouch its way to a win sometimes. Of course, starting Dalton makes sense if you want someone to get literally murdered to death behind that awful O line and don't want Fields to become as shell-shocked as David Carr. You can do that to a ginger, they have no souls anyway. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 For context - Harbaugh called a run on the final play instead of kneeling down so the Ravens could reach 100 rushing yards which allowed their streak of 100 yard games to continue. Even Lamar Jackson was all WTF when running the play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 Denver also chose to use all 3 of their timeouts, despite being down 16, so it's pretty fucking dumb both ways to be fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DangerMark Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 Jay Cutler took them on a playoff run within my memory and was then pilloried for being far too banged up to get back in the game. Things have gone downhill, somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something Harbaugh pointed out: Harbaugh said he wasn’t aware of a 16-point play so he questioned what Broncos throwing ball into end zone with 10 seconds left had to do with winning.

Kevin Wilson Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 I'm on Team Harbaugh on this one, I hate 'unwritten rules' in all sports and I hate coaches that complain that another team did something meeeean to them. They are professionals, no one was getting hurt on a five yard QB sweep, move on with your life. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
