Beerfish Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Just awful just dismal. The play by play guy whoever he is is not good, Witten is lousy and Booger is awful. This used to be the flag ship game of football and had the flag ship announcers. Just blech!

JohnnyLV Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 It is awful. At least they show more than the same 5 teams over and over and over. Not sure when the stations are going to realize former football players are rarely the best announcers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paradis Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 I don't know what to say. I liked Mike Tirico, but not much else in the last 15 years... but then again, I think Dierdoff was great and I enjoy Fouts and Tasker.. and most of you hate them. So i don't know what this annoucing line up looks like that you guys want.. i've heard a lot of people praise Romo, and I think he's a terrible fit. I don't like his casual storytime approach.

Titan24 Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Days of enjoying, waiting for MNF are over sad to say. Used to wait for matchup, watching teams I haven’t seen pre red zone channel listening to Al Frank and Dan. Was a simpler and better time.

jetscrazey Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 They should have kept Tirico, at least I feel like I'm watching an exciting game with his voice. Witten and McFarland are trying hard but I think they can do better. They should try to get an ex-QB in there not named Jay Cutler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndianaJet Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Fox paid more, so they put all the good games on Thursday nights this year, look at what we have once Fox started doing the broadcast after Jets/Browns Week 4: Vikings at Rams Week 5: Colts at Patriots Week 6: Eagles at Giants Week 7: Broncos at Cardinals Week 8: Dolphins at Texans Week 9: Raiders at 49ers Week 10: Panthers at Steelers Week 11: Packers at Seahawks Week 12: Falcons at Saints Week 13: Saints at Cowboys Week 14: Jaguars at Titans Week 15: Chargers at Chiefs There are some seriously good games scheduled for multiple weeks. Hell, even the Raiders/49ers has that battle for the bay area angle to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Oh and I want Pete Carmichael to be our next head coach) NFL announcers are mostly terrible (whereas they used to be mostly terrific). Remember in the 1980's when we had Vin Scully, Pat Summerall, Dick Enberg, Merlin Olsen, Charlie Jones, Don Criqui, Al Michaels (in his prime),Tom Brookshier, John Madden, Howard Cosell, Frank Glieber, Jack Buck, Marv Albert, Bob Costas, Curt Gowdy, Merle Harmon, etc. Other than a few exceptions, who's any good now?

Scott Dierking Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Monday night football used to be THE one game each week (with the notable exceptions of Thanksgiving and the late year Saturday games), when you could see a national game with the rest of the country. It was an opportunity to see players that you never, or rarely saw. Roone Arledge was a genius in developing it as an entertainment vehicle for the network and fans, and as an event for the host city. This lasted into the 80's. Then came Sunday night football. Which was still a special vehicle. As the mid 90's evolved, the wonderful vehicle of NFL Ticket through DirecTV changed the landscape. Everyone could now watch their favorite team, regardless of the city they lived in. A great thing. But it also oversaturated the market and you could have football, any game, at the press of a button. It just become less special. And of course, as we have all lamented, the Thursday night package killed the golden goose. That and a watering down of football personality and making the sport big business. While it has lined the owners' pockets, it has lessened the spectacle of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UntouchableCrew Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 I mean, MNF hasn't been the same since ESPN got it and they flipped the marquee game of the week from Monday night to Sunday Night. Frankly, if I were ESPN I'd be furious and doing everything I could to leverage the NFL for a better slate of games. Some of the turd burger MNF matchups they have are just obscene for what ESPN is paying. They do get Rams/Chiefs this year, however, which is going to be AWESOME. But yeah, the production has gone down too. I don't mind Tessitore but Witten and Booger stink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
