The 10/3 Amazon Prime NFL telecast was a disgrace
Re: The 10/3 Amazon Prime NFL telecast was a disgrace
I always thought the NFL is responsible for football content and merely license it to organizations like Amazon.

I will say that as a play-by-play guy, Al Michaels should have hung it up years ago. He has no enthusiasm at all.

Re: The 10/3 Amazon Prime NFL telecast was a disgrace
I record the rerun on NFL Network each Friday at 2pm since I don't have Amazon and have no big desire to get it. I usually remember to avoid seeing the score before watching. I still have to cover the NFL Network onscreen ticker at the bottom of the screen while watching or that will show the final score as well.
I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary from the many telecasts from that stadium over the years. Could be wrong but I would think cameras are placed in the same spots in the stadium for all games. I didn't have any issues with being able to tell whether passes were completed or not.
EDIT: I didn't know there was an official and free stream for the Amazon games so now I watch that live instead of the reruns on NFL Network:

Re: The 10/3 Amazon Prime NFL telecast was a disgrace
I watched the last few minutes of the 4th quarter and OT. I didn't really notice anything different either. I thought Al Michaels was decent in this broadcast. I don't know if his lack of excitement is due to the lack of great games TNF has had in the past or not. He said recently about the lack of enthusiasm, "Do you really want me to scream at every exciting play?" similar to what Gus Johnson does. I think Al was outstanding for years, but the move to TNF seemed to change his personality a bit PXP wise.

Lions vs, Packers is the Thursday after Thanksgiving, which should be the Sunday night game.
Sunday night that week is Chargers at Chiefs,
Monday night is Bengals at Cowboys.
