I was never impressed with this guy in the booth. From the very beginning... I expressed my dislike for his guessing the wrong play most of the time and the rest of his act.

Now... it looks like everyone else is finally seeing it too...

The Bills-Bengals game showed how far Tony Romo has truly fallen off as an announcer

There was a time when Tony Romo was the latest, greatest thing to happen to football announcing. In the form of elaborate play predictions, he offered insightful analysis and energy that had fans engaged quite well with CBS's main NFL broadcast. That time has now passed. As…

I wish all these guys would just take a breath once in awhile. Do they have to fill ever second with jiber jaber. Maybe if they stopped talking for a few seconds inbetween every play, they wouldnt have to slober all over kissing so much ass. They could just say why something happened. Give situational information, some stats. I have to mute every now and then just to keep sain.

^Agree with above.

Greg Olsen is awesome in the booth! Multiple times over the last few seasons I have looked up who the commentators were just because I wanted to know the name of the guy that was doing so awesome - Greg Olsen - every time.

He's not for everyone but I also really enjoy Aqib Talib as a commentator.

Worst play by play announcers

This last week Rams Raiders was Horrible. Worst I’d ever seen.Won’t get into name calling. Play by play is not looking into the camera first off.Yes Talib is great & beautiful.His connections with Ram players is cool,but he is still raw & learning. The first Holding Call. Does anyone know...

Funny thing was I was going to post about Romo & how bad he was. Turned on NFL network & saw Bengal’s vs Bills. I think the post though was boring weekend playoff games.

Romo has been bad all season. I told people how much he stunk.One person said that he was good & I questioned him. Then in following weeks he was just as bad. Imo have to agree

Came on to mention Olson too. Insightful and talks just the right amount.

I like Romo's insight but he needs to learn less is more.
 
Yeah, I heard a couple of head scratching comments in that game and was stunned how bad he was.

The bills attempted a borderline desperation bomb down the left sideline, down 2 scores. The Bengal DB played it perfectly and it was incomplete. Romo said "that's a game saving play" or something to that effect..... Game saving?? They are up 2 scores in the 4th quarter!!!???

He has gotten worse, I’m not a fan. He was better in much smaller doses.

The whole play by Play / color analyst thing is off kilter

It is as if it is curved toward keeping the less informed fans entertained at the expense of the dedicated fans

I thought he was so overreactive yesterday it was nauseating
 
Doesn't Romo get paid $1M per-game?

I watch the games. I can talk football. I have the same number of Super Bowl appearances as Romo.

And, most relevant, I can be very stupid when analyzing football. I'll do it for a lot less than $1M per-game.

Hell, I'll do it for access to the post-game-buffet. But I am bringing tupper-ware.

But apparently I don’t pay super close attention as I missed these calls.

He's no where near the worst. He's just not quite as good as the general consensus would have you believe.

Preach on! I hate that soooooooooo much. I don’t need a play by play description of the play I just saw.

Never liked Romo. Some were fawning over him in the booth since he started, I wasn't buying it. He had a few good things to say but wasn't as good as some claimed him to be. I don't think Olsen's good either, he gets stuff wrong too much for my liking.

I don't mind announcers as much as many do. I appreciate it's a hard job.

I like Romo's instinct to explain details. Yeah, he goes a little overboard with praise sometimes, but that's not terrible.

Only announcer that I disliked this year was Jonathan Vilma (for Rams-Saints game). That guy gets all sorts of things wrong, points out the obvious, and he is a cliche machine.

I think we miss Howard Cosell, Pat Summerall and later John Madden...

I'm an Olsen fan too.

He gives perspective from an offensive blocker and a pass catcher being a very good NFL TE. He comments on plays giving credit when due and some criticism when warranted on all positions. He also has a light delivery with a great sense of humor. He does favor the TEs which is understandable. Going to send Kittle a bill from his tailor after messing up his suite.

I like Sanchez. He is insightful and funny. Doesn't take himself too seriously.

Always liked Moose Johnston too.

Romo has lost that enthusiasm that made him like a fan.
