Who sucks more? NFL kickers or refs?

IMPOSSIBLE to tell.

 

[Q729]

God damn! I wanted him to run for the first but even better.

 

[TXRams86]

Doesn't get much easier than that! I seriously thought Mayfield was going to screw that up.

Both?

Oh Marcus

 

[VFerragamo]

Where have we seen that before....

Hope I’m not repeating a previous post, but these ESPNitwits are the worst announcers I have EVER heard call a game.

It doesn't help that Tony Romo came in and instantly became one of the best color commentators of all time.

Made a very tough job seem easy.

I really miss the buttery goodness that was Pat Summerall and John Madden. Madden with his funny and odd takes and Summerall with his solid, but not intrusive play by play. I still get nostalgic about Summerall's end of the game promos... "Immediately after the game, we'll take you to 60 Minutes already in progress followed by Murder She Wrote, except on the West Coast where they can be seen at their regularly scheduled time."

Best technical play by play was always Vin Scully who wasn't just the Dodger announcer for ever, but also did Rams football, NFL network football as well as boxing, and because he was trained in radio and you could close your eyes and still understand what was happening.

Al Michaels is also pretty solid and it may be nostalgia, but he wasn't in Pat Summerall's class. Not with football, anyway.

It's frustrating that the #1 team on Fox is Buck/Aikman. They seem to be big enough that they want to be the story instead of the game.

Also, is it just me or do I think the color commentator's job isn't to give us all the back stories of all the players, but to explain what actually happened in a play that the uneducated viewer may have missed and thus to illuminate the intricacies of the game???

Wow...great td. Thought Mayfield was about to run for it. Hard to see the whole field on TV, but that td throw caught me off guard.

 

[OntarioRam]

15 men on the field and these refs were going to let it go, no integrity whatsoever.

Agreed. Unbelievable. 15 men and somehow all of them missed it. When you see things like that, it really makes you wonder...

2 pt conversion trick play worked like a charm

 

[Q729]

Lol that was more exciting than it should be.

 

[TexasRam]

Monster poops do cause cramps so

 

[RamsOfCastamere]

Peters out here getting burnt

 

[Q729]

Holy shit what a key drop!

 

[RamsFanCK]

Come on Brownines! You got this!

Pat Summerall and John Madden...my favorites!

I do like Al Michaels a lot. I kinda miss Dick Enberg too.

Hearing the voice of Summerall or Enberg, was like the sound of football!

Time to bake a win

 

[Q729]

What a damn fun game to watch.

Nick Chubb is a top 5 RB.
