Seriously, it was like listening to the Ravens feed on Sirius. To all those *****ing about the refs flagging Baltimore. Put the kool-aid down and WATCH the game again..................... The called less then 30% of thier calls. Moss was interferred EVERY time the ball was thrown in his direction.

After the Ravens drove the field and scored a TD to open the 2nd half, I did something that I've never done before. I paused my Tivo, muted the TV, fired up my laptop and accessed the Patriots radio network on WBCN.com. Much better. I had the video and audio synced up and it was great.

The ESPN guys are terrible and they actually started rooting for the Ravens to win the game in the 2nd half. And then they had Don Shula in the booth. I didn't hear what he said but just the sight of him disgusted me.

I hate ESPN... with a passion.

This was one of the worst announced games in recent memory. I score the game and continually did not get the yardage, down and distance I need during the game. Tony Kornheiser is more annoying than anything else. And having Don Shula in there was incredibly unbalanced commentary, as obviously he is rooting against the Patriots.

Bring back Mike Patrick and Joe Theismann. They at least did a tolerable job, and Patrick is a first-rate play-by-play man.

What's with the sarcastic tone? Rush Limbaugh is my hero.

Why is that a problem? It is GREAT! It shows how dominant we are. It shows how good everyone KNOWS we are.

Except for the Patriots this has been a relatively unexciting season. (I wn't say boring, some would, but I don't believe the NFL can ever be truly boring.)

Our team is the STAR OF THE LEAGUE.
No, we're really not wrong, seriously.

TV Broadcasts are supposed to be impartial, if this was the Ravens radio broadcast I wouldn't be complaining, but this was Monday Night Football, or at least what little there is left of it.

I understand the whole "Relish the hate" thing, and that's all well and good, but the announcers calling the game on TV should not be biased. Ff everyone in the pregame and post game show wants to hate on us, if they want to launch in to a 15 minute tirade about how much we suck at halftime; if they want to play nothing but "Patriots suck, go Ravens" all week long leading up to the game, power to them. But on a TV broadcast the fans of each team should be able to expect impartiality from the announcers. We've got fans of one team saying the announcing was so biased they had to mute their television. How in any way could that be construed as a good thing? I'm not just talkin about the Pats here, imagine if every week the announcers for CBS and FOX and SNF and MNF were to choose sides and actively root for one team. You can bet your ***** that fans of the other team would be upset and wouldn't enjoy watching the game as much as they should. That's bad for them, bad for the teams, and bad for the NFL product as a whole.

As a result of this decable I'm going to either find a web radio station that will play the Patriots games or I'm going to order field pass.

The whole "This could be the night!" that started after the first series was brutal.

My TV was shut off because I forgot to pay the bill. I got by listening to Gil & Geno and following the thread on the board. Sounds like I saved myself some dispepsia.

As if the broadcast team isn't bad enough then you throw Shula in there for half the game. Unbelievable!
