Amazon is a terrible football broadcaster.
 

That broadcast felt like a preseason game.

What does Amazon have against showing the play again while the teams are resetting. Just felt like so much watching guys stand around while hearing Al Michaels try to fill the silence.

Whoever the other announcer was, he had the energy of a day old piece of toast.

No graphics, and the ones they used sucked.

Sound issues here and there.

Terrible. It was actually a very exciting game, but you’d never know it with this production and personnel.

Is this what the Thursday night games are like?

Still better than listening to Charles Davis.

I also don’t like the AWS-AI-whatever random circles they throw under players pre-snap. Leave that for your super fancy stream, but keep the main broadcast clean. And a gray LOS is lame.

The lack of replays was super annoying

Maybe I should've also been aware, but had no idea, I wouldn't be able to watch it on my device or Firestick outside the US...15 minutes before kickoff when it was showing as unavailable on my app

I'm thankful for Methstreams this year!

Also "timeout against hate" might be the dumbest NFL campaign slogan ever

Is that like a 30 second timeout, do people only get 3, do you lose one if you challenge??

Their feature where you can catch up with a name in progress by watching the highlights is great, to be fair.

It was great of them to capture that 5 minute conversation between Patrick and head ref Clay Martin for the internet though LMAO

Heard a bunch of complaints about the audio and had none of those issues on NBC. Weird.

Not a fan of herbstreit? He’s one of the good ones

Yeah the lack of replays is brutal.

I had poor picture quality towards the end of the first half. Not knowing for sure if it was on their end or mine, I did a total power down at half time, walked away and got distracted. I missed the first couple minutes of the second half before I remembered to fire everything back up. Picture quality was fine thereafter.

But I prefer to blame them.

When you prioritize commercials over the game, that's the shit product you get. It was horrible.

Amazon is rough but although I hate the idea of all these scattered streaming platforms with nfl rights, they seem more willing to experiment than the old fashioned media is. The xfl despite being a failure brought nfl technology decades into the future. Try out a lot of things and just scrap the stuff that sucks.

Amazon sucks but Hulu isn't any better, trying to watch college bball and theres unskippable ads that are literally just 3 minutes of traffic noise lol

Killing cable was some real monkey paw shit

not looking forward to the Netflix version

There was a very bad hum on the broadcast. Like someone left an electrical cable sitting on top of a key audio connection or something.
