Default NFL Network... Poor game experience
Is it just me, or was that one of the worst announced games ever? Dick couldn't talk and finally gave up. Couldn't hear Faulk when he came in. Plus, what is up with trying to pan the dadgum camera around before each play? Just show me how they are lining up and let me watch the game. All the networks are doing that now. Drives me nuts.

The oly thing that saved it from misery was....




WE WON!!!!!! So, all's well that ends well.

They have all been terrible.

I just throw it on mute and listen to the radio or something.

Every NFL Network game has been terrible. Their announcers are the worst. Gumbal especially is just horrible.

This is a team who is battling several major injuries to
key players including Pro Bowl talents like Lee, Austin, Jenkins, Murray,
Carter and Ratliff. Other key starters missing include Costa, Smith, Church and
Coleman. That is 11 key players - that's half the starting lineup. Yet we still went 8-8.

Gumble is horrible and they should tell everyone to stop calling out the penalties. Let the refs tell us!

It was nice to hear from Gumbel that Romo just barely beat the "shot clock".

Over and over and over again. Gumbel needs to go, Sanders didn't to too bad for the call from the bull pen but Faulk and the rest were just horrible. Almost like a train wreck you can't help but look!

Terrible.

Even not having their ducks in a row because someone had to know that Collinsworth would not be there and Vermeil having laryngitis.

Terrible.

Gumble is terrible. Vermeil was unable to perform but normally is very good.

I thought Sanders did a tremendous job especially once you consider that he had no preperation.

The NFL network does need to work on its broadcast. To put it mildly, it sucks.

Gumble is awful, but I thought Deion did a pretty good job.

The only good thing about the NFL Network is that they do not kill you with tons of commercials.

I rather enjoyed it. Better than many booth crews on the various networks.

Compared to Gumbel, I thought Vermeil sounded great.

The league should be embarrassed with the production of their NFL Network games. Bryant Gumble is a horrible announcer. His voice is too high and his comments are frequently wrong. The halftime show was shown in standard definition, not HD.

At one point the were showing Barber's stats and instead of having Barber's small image next to the stats, they had T.O.'s. Inexcusable. My friend and I had a good laugh at that.

The only thing that was done well, production wise, were the blimp shots.
