LOL I still remember a MNF game where Tirico made a quip about the Colts' AFCCG game appearance banner prior to kickoff. I laughed for like ten minutes!Just saw that Buck and Aikman are calling the game next week and now with the Pats flexed to SNF for the Texans, this is the stretch we've seen over the last month
Nantz/Simms
Tirico/Gruden
Michaels/Collinswoth
Buck/Aikman

That's hideous. Thank goodness for the mute button.
Rough stretch of announcers for us Pats fans

Just a quick question because I know 2 weeks ago Pats/Eagles was taking off being the primary National game and that was switched to Panthers/Saints. So wouldn't Aikman/Buck do the national game.
In my opinion John Lynch is the best NFL in-game analyst out there. He not only has a very high football IQ, he is also very articulate and the Stanford alum is intelligent in a general sense.
According to BFLO360
2015 NFL on Fox Announcers & Distribution: Week 13 | B-FLO 360
Buck/Aikman are still scheduled to do the game and apparently it is still going to be the primary game. Now that could change but BFLO is usually bang on
Gannon and Harlan are good too. But these guys are 2nd or 3rd tier of commentary teams for some reason .In my opinion John Lynch is the best NFL in-game analyst out there. He not only has a very high football IQ, he is also very articulate and the Stanford alum is intelligent in a general sense.
The problem is that networks cater to the casual fan and not the hard core fan. Hard core fans are going to watch no matter what; that's not the case with casual fans. Whether those casual fans do or do not watch is what determines the variance in ratings.
As a result commentary is dumbed down a bit for that target audience. The other problem is that the networks hang on to familiar names and faces for far too long. This is why **** Stockton still calls NFL games, and why people like Dan Dierdorf, Frank Gifford and John Madden kept their jobs for much longer than they should have.
The side effect from this network rationale is that analysts like Phil Simms keep their high profile job too long, while a far superior talent like Lynch wastes on the shelf, relegated to small regional telecasts.
Oh, of course they are. They do that and they're media darlings again.
