The Manning Brothers MNF

[CGI_Ram]

I am in the I haven’t seen camp…

But, what does everyone think?

Any good?

Is it preferred? Good as alternate?

 

[Karate61]

I watched them interview Gronk during the game. I can't stand Gronk, and it distracted from game action. So, I did not like it much.

Now, later they were calling the game and strategy, which I did like.

Overall, I'm a no go. Wish they just called the game like other broadcasts.

 

[Q729]

It's good if you really hate listening to the ESPN guys or you really don't care about the teams but still want some football.

 

[Selassie I]

Thumbs Down

Except for their interview with Stafford this week. Otherwise, they think THEY are the show. They completely distract from the game. Hell... the screen always has THEM pictured (separately even).

I thought it was going to enhance the game watching experience. Instead... it makes the game almost an afterthought. THEY are the show with that broadcast... not the actual game.

Hard Pass for me.

 

[Ramlock]

Thumbs up to neutral

Has clunker moments.

Gronk seems sub-human…didn’t enjoy that.

Eli and Peyton can be enjoyable. Missed the Stafford segment…wished that I had seen it.

 

[den-the-coach]

At first I was thumbs down, but you have to give it some time. They've had some great guests and Eli is actually the funny one and I enjoy them. Cooper Manning on The College Bowl series was funny too. Watch out for Arch Manning who could commit to Georgia or Texas very soon.

BTW Nick Saban, who I'm not a fan of, but I respect him highly his quote about "When you're on top of the Mountain, you become the Mountain" is epic.

 

[Faceplant]

I wish I had more hands... So I could give it 5 thumbs up. I could listen to Peyton Manning read a phone book. Dude is just fun to watch and listen to.

I was in Nashville two straight years for different work conferences where he happened to be the keynote speaker and he killed it both times.

I think him and Eli do a good job of diagnosing plays and are just WAY more interesting than the normal broadcast. Hell, I don't even watch a second of the reg broadcast when they are on. I learn absolutely NADA from espn broadcasters. Mannings are must see TV for me.

 

[Corbin]

Listening to the idiots ESPN has in the booth and sideline or the Manning’s bullshitting around and pulling out digs on eachother? That’s a no brained to me! Lol if it’s our game I’m watching broadcast tho, any other I could really care less and they do add some color to it! Lol

 

[Elmgrovegnome]

Thumbs down. I’ve tried it twice. I prefer to watch the regular broadcast. I can here the play by play and have a full screen.

Why do they have to show Peyton and Eli’s faces the whole time?

 

[Psycho_X]

Agree with others that I really like it when it's teams I don't really care about or don't want to watch. They have some fun insights, stories, and are funny at times. But if it was the Rams playing I would not watch them because it does distract you from the game a bit. For all the haters,

 

[TexasRam]

I was really looking forward to it but found it to be cringeworthy. I had to change it.

Akward silence, talking over people, taking away from the game and ego driven.

Now Peyton as side commentary in between snaps where real broadcasting is going is always great. Like a quick booth appearance during a game. He is a funny dude.

It reminded me of a high school broadcast. They need a play by play guy and the cameras not on their ugly mugs the whole time. People want to see the game. They might do good as analysts. Just don’t talk over the game.

I think its entertaining if its a game where I don't have a huge rooting interest. Its like watching a gane with your boys, but they actually know what's going on. However when the Rams play on Monday night I will watch the normal broadcast, but I am recording their broadcast to get sone insights on the x's & o's.

I mean I don't want anyone coming over when my team is playing anyway.

 

[Angry Ram]

It's fantastic and hilarious. The normal ESPN guys are pretty good too but this is a different vibe. The digs Eli had on Peyton (and his pit stains) was gold.

 

[RamsFanCK]

Here’s what its like for those who haven’t watched yet. Personally I enjoy it. I won’t watch when the Rams are on MNF but when I’m not as invested in the game I’ll be watching

 

[…..]

Thumbs up for somthing new and different.

Just dont get your hopes up too high. There are moments when the tempo is way off.

I wouldnt watch if I was really interested in the actual game.

Is a completely different experience. You will miss the excitement of play by play, thats for sure.

I looked forward to Chris Long and thought the segment was shitty. Even Coach Saban was more intertaining.

 

[Loyal]

I haven't been able to watch it live, just clips of the show. I loved it....Especially when Eli dogs "Payt" with his big head....

It's pretty good. I enjoyed it, but I couldn't watch a rams game with it.
Far too many side conversations going on for me to focus on the Rams like I normally do.
But if it's a game your just kind of watching to watching, it's very entertaining.
You get some pretty good inside stories about when they were playing.

 

[CoachAllred]

My thoughts exactly. they need to find a better balance between
focusing on the game and the side chatter. But still a great idea

 

[Tas]

I'm a fan. They actually talk about scheme and how to attack it. Peyton's face is great on bad plays or decisions. They often call out bad calls or plays before they happen. It's like watching a game with your buddies if your buddies actually knew anything about football.

I'm just sad it won't be on again until week 7.

 

[Ramon Ram]

I enjoy it. Great insight to defensive and offensive approaches. Love both of their sense of humor and love when they rag on each other. Eli has such a dry wit and love when he rags on peytons spirals. Wouldn’t watch a ram game this way unless I watched the replay.

Kind of like watching Yankees with Phil rizzuto, as I don’t need the announcers to tell me what is actually happening just the insight and humor.
