Pretty interesting hearing their take and seeing all the close-ups of Eagle players reactions, etc. The announcers are certainly slanted to the Eagles but not as bad as other crews I've seen, over all they are good.

I couldnt stand the commentators to be honest, Eagles couldnt do no wrong by them.

I thought they were terrible. I understand the home broadcast is naturally going to focus on the home team. But is it too much to ask that they call out who made the tackles? Or kept the camera on the pile long enough to see the players get off the pile instead of immediately switching to a camera view of some obscure eagle drinking gatorade on the bench?

I was going nuts because as soon as the tackle was made they went to the sideline. I couldn't see you was doing what and they only showed the entire field view for barely a second before the ball was snapped. I had a very hard time trying to figure out who was on the field.

What was more depressing was they didn't switch over to the Pats broadcast for the 2nd half. Normally NFLN will use each team's broadcast for a half.

the thing i hated was that they kept making excuses for the eagles, esp. on Edelman's punt return. they kept saying how tired the eagles players were after the botched first attempt due to the penalty. well, herm, don't you think the pats players were tired too? i think they are still bitter about 04'.

i also saw the jets game. you should have seen how happy the crowd was after scoring a single touchdown.

"He’s the greatest quarterback to ever play the game. He goes from being a rookie that nobody is expecting anything from, to taking over with people saying he can’t do it, to winning three Super Bowls....It should already be obvious he’s the greatest quarterback to ever have played. "

I thought it was awful. I mean, I'm all for homerism - But that was stupid. I thought the comment at the begining, "If you are looking for fair and balanced, this is not where you will find it", was kinda funny - But good god - That was the worst game calling I've ever had to listen to.

I watched the game a few more times, and I muted the anouncers.

I think this year they are using the full broadcast of the home team.

On the punt they said the same thing as the Pats broadcasters that it was a dangerous situation because you have to run down field twice.

When Seymour jumped they blamed Peters until seeing the replay.

When the Pats stuffed a 3rd and short they said the Patriots D-line was just beating the Eagles O-line.

They complimented Brady and the O-line again and again complaining that the Eagles needed to generate a pass rush.

I'm not saying they didn't have a homer slant but so do the Patriots broadcast. You have to listen to a Steeler or Cowboys broadcast to compare it. The home team never is at fault with those guys.

The announcers are terrible, constantly talking over each other. They also apparently never bothered to look over the Pats' roster before the game. (Who is Nick Kak-sir???)

I could not stand the commentators. I just find something wrong with calling the team "my team" or "our team" during a broadcast. It's one thing to make excuses for the team, which they did plenty of for the Eagles, but it's another thing entirely to keep referring to them as "our team" in a live broadcast. They had to know that Eagles fans weren't the only people who tuned in to watch. It was so annoying.

OMG... late in the second quarter, the guy goes to a commercial break and says "Eagles 21, Eagles 6."
