The man listed below might be the worst play-by-play announcer in the history of professional broadcasting. That, and his partners (Deion Sanders and Marshall Faulk) are morons in the booth. Utter morons. Praising the Bills starters for looking good against the 2nd unit defense? You kidding me. Enjoy this open thread. Hate on NFL Network for torturing us with the Three Stupidos.

who would have thought that shannon would be the second worse announcer in that family

did you see the pre-game
the top 10 RCA dome moments.
I don’t think they should have put the losses in there, but number one was his “Playoffs” outburst. He joked that that made him a lot of money.

agree
I’m amazed that he doesn’t hold and ill will toward the Colts, since he was fired. He actually seems to like them a lot.

After Peyton
These awful announcers—well, Faulk’s OK—keep saying this is what it’ll be like after Peyton’s gone. No, it won’t. Dungy (or Caldwell) and Polian (Bill or Chris, whichever) will not possibly allow the Colts to be quarterbacked by someone as bad as Lorenzen.
Well, at least we’ve not given up any special teams big plays, and Jennings has played well so far. The O-line has been OK. You know it’s bleak when Tim Jennings doing what we all hoped he would do was the best you could say….
The fault, dear Brutus, lies not in the stars, but in ourselves.

Why does Jordan Senn make so many tackles?
So far he’s on 25 including this game.

He's Fast
He’s all over the field.

he gets the tackles way down field doestnt her?
you wont make the team unless you tackle for losses
by metal_militia on Aug 24, 2008 9:34 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
My theory about Senn
The backup D-line keeps getting beat by the opponents’ first team O-line, and Senn has to jump in and make plays. Which he does do.

He might be a keeper
He must have a nose for the ball. I’ve seen him get juked out of his undergarments, but he is always around the ball. I guess he might have a nice upside, since he seems to have good instincts.

"this is what it'll be like after Peyton's gone"
is a stupid comment anyway. If he’s intimating that Peyton is done now (which I doubt he means) then he should say so outright. If he’s talking about some point in the future, then the team will be completely different by that point.

No more Dark Ages
I don’t want to go back to the dark years. I try not to think about it. The nearly 20 years before Peyton were too painful. So painful that I was proud of the ’87 strike year when our scrubs did pretty good.

Garcon
Always seems to go out of bounds on his kick returns. I’d like to see him try to take one all the way.

I wondered about some starters
Coming back in the second half. Dungy said he wanted to make adjustments at halftime. It’ll be more interesting to see if the defensive starters like Freeney, Brackett and Jackson come back.
Let’s get Reggie, Marvin and Gonzo out. Throw it to Garcon, Hall and the Aroma. Let’s see some more of Hart.

I kinda don't want to

We’ll only keep 3RB’s this year

True. And I could be wrong
certainly. At any rate, I’d rather see non-rosters showcase for jobs elsewhere than see Hart used a lot tonight. Maybe I’m paranoid due to all the injuries.

Good point
I agree it looks like Hart’s #3, so maybe a battle with Dawson and K2?

He is looking down the receiver he wants to throw to and not really scanning the field. At least from what I can tell.

Preason is for experimenting
They aren’t playcalling for a win, they are playcalling to see what each guy can do.
What we’ve learned:
1. Gray can’t throw in the endzone
2. hart can block
by furrycolt on Aug 24, 2008 9:52 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
And in the grand scheme
I’ll take that trade-off.
by ctnyc on Aug 24, 2008 9:53 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
That's cos they know he can run
But they want to see how he blocks and catches the ball

Gray is supposed to know the no huddle offense. check off to it

Still not sold on him
He makes about as many mistakes as good plays. I think the catch on the last play was better than the throw. To borrow from baseball, Gray feels more like a power hitter to me. He might hit a home run, but he has a good chance of striking out.

lol, no arguments there. He appears to be afraid to make a mistake, so he takes few risks, and in the process ends up stinking as a QB
