NFL GDT: NFL Week 2

[Troy McClure]

I don't dislike Joe Buck as much as a lot of people but that was a legitimately heartwarming moment.

Hard to believe he's been calling NFL games for over 25 years now.

I enjoy the jokes about how much he had to overcome to get a break in the announcing business, but he’s very good at what he does. Fans seem to hate him because he will express opinions more than most play by play guys, and for a lot of fans, one critical word means he’s terrible.

The shocking thing to me is he’s been with Aikman for 19 already.

All those weapons and you can't get the TD there, for shame.

I always thought his more...monotone style was actually a great fit for baseball. He definitely showed emotion but because he wasn't blowing his load over plays people disliked him.

Jim Nantz is kinda similar in that regard although he was pretty tiresome to listen to until he got a way better broadcast partner

Trying the power run game didn’t work. The line couldn’t get any push.

 

[Cush]

Browns get it back at the 1

 

[Blitzkrug]

Garrett basically came in unblocked. Good lord that Bengals line is ass.

 

[Avs_19]

It's going to be rough for Burrow behind this OL.

 

[Spring in Fialta]

Happy to see Mayfield have a good game.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

My god. Dolphins-Jaguars next week. In primetime.

Bernard is in. Or not...

 

[YoSoyLalo]

This game is wayyyyy better than it should have been lol

Burrow is impressive

I think it’s because his calls are god awful and he sounds borderline uninterested most of the time

 

[EpochLink]

Burrow is doing this behind the worst offensive line in the league.

 

[GKJ]

Good offensive pass interference call

 

[mouser]

Definitely a good call, can’t just run over the defender like that.

 

[Troy McClure]

Burrow has had a couple of wake up calls where he’s tried to do things with his feet where he’ll have to learn some things he could do in college won’t work in the NFL.

 

[Evincar]

Dont understand what a kicking a field goal does for you there.

I don’t need enthusiasm from a play by play guy. It’s TV. Save the theatrics for radio.

He’s a good athlete but he isn’t Kyler or Lamar

he isn’t escaping some of these situations as easily as some these other guys can. If he’s gonna run he needs to start making the decision to do so sooner.

There’s a fine line between theatrics and sounding like he doesn’t give a shit

It lets your young QB come away with another scoring drive. It’s fine.

 

[Blitzkrug]

Burrow deserves a lot of credit for how well he played. A couple really bad decisions (like that hilariously bad spin move right into a defender) where you can tell he hasn't...quite realized he's playing against men but his football IQ and passing have been superb.

 

[Avs_19]

First mistake by Baker tonight. He has had a good bounce back game until that pass.

"Pass is........Caught by Smith, and Smith is brought down at the 44." "Something something Aaron Rodgers".

 

[GKJ]

it was a good drive already with 1 4th down conversion but things were getting sloppy after the review.
