    Really, really, really dislike having the announcers off-site? I was watching the replay and it got on my nerves quit a bit. Made the crowd seem too quiet.

    With as bad as they were I don't think it would have mattered if they had been ON the field. LOL. They really were horrible though. When Warner said the o-line was doing a great job I just threw my hands up and said "WHAT???!!!"

    So that's what it was!? While I was watching the game I felt something was off, besides the Steelers of course. I was wondering if all the NFL Network games were going to be like that. I didn't like it at all.

    It was terrible. Kurt Warner should never commentate another game, live or in studio.

    I've been saying that about Solomon Wilcotts forever. I really wish someone would listen!

    That other guy was way worse. I started with the game pass feed that had the CBS announcers then switched over to the NFL Network. Kurt was bad, but the other guy....What the hell was he smoking? He was pronouncing names wrong, his voice inflection was horrible and he sounded like he was a high school announcer!

    The commentary was indeed awful. Combine that with the tons of flags and it was almost un-watchable.

    The play by play guy starts off the broadcast by saying Ben is going into the last year of his contract, he might want to get his facts straight before he does a game.

    Dude, I loved listening to Dierdorf. He talking about the linemen, and actually made sense.

    Was he worse? They were both just awful. I admit I couldn't listen to them for very long, and had the Sirius broadcast running on my computer. I had to laugh at his body language early on. He was leaning back so far from Warner at one point that he looked like he was going to fall out of his chair. Not sure what that was about.

    On a different note, Simms and Nantz will be getting much more air time this year, so there's that.

    I think that Edmund Nelson is a terrible announcer as well.

    AB runs a 4.2 on the field?... Lots of terrible lineman are big and nasty; does he mean their play?...

    He said Gra-DOW-ski like 10 times. The whole thing was disappointing

    You ever listen to Dierdorf announce a Steelers game. I had to shut the tv off cuase he was so bias against the Steelers that it was downright unprofessional. Kinda like Phil Simms.
