Fowler and herbstreit calling Chefs-Broncos game. Is this their first NFL game?

No.. They did the Steelers-Giants game on MNF last year as part as a double header.
I thought that may be the case as well but I heard them say it's the usual MNF crew tonight. I have to say it's not quite an NFL vibe hearing Fowler/Herbie. That's not to say they're doing anything wrong but it'll take getting used to.
The few times I heard them on a NFL game including today,I think they do a great job.. I am a less is better guy, they call the game and give insight and that is all. Griese is a bore IMO and was better calling College games.
Making all those millions a game and they sit. People paid good money to watch them play! Dock their pay. They're all me me me! They owe us!
I thought they did a good job. They stepped right into an NFL game and came prepared and knowledgeable about both teams. I understand Herbstreit is not popular around here, but the reality is that he is very good at being a game color analyst (probably one of the best on tv) who picks up on a lot of details, before even seeing replays, and is then able to immediately explain them. I’d put him in the same category as Tony Romo in terms of the live broadcast booth: very perceptive and articulate.
They should have played you are right. Steelers sat out guys last year when they could have knocked the browns out and they sat them. Browns got in and then starters came back and were out of whack in the first half and fell way behind due to stupid mistakes most of which were the week off woes. Now I can see hurts out because he was hurt. For the most part I think all starters played. Chiefs and broncos were full go as willMaking all those millions a game and they sit. People paid good money to watch them play! Dock their pay. They're all me me me! They owe us!
Most of the teams today. Big day with playoff ramifications for most.
I’m sure I’m in the minority here but I think they are the best in the business for college games and also did a great job yesterday for the NFL.
I like their cadence and they seem well prepared. I like how Herbstreit diagrams plays. Fowler is solid and versatile and I like his serious tone.
I find both their game assessments accurate.
I know many hate Herbie here. I don’t totally get it. JMO
When I listen to the 2nd rate NFL announcers who don’t get the marquee Sunday games I just cringe most of the time. A lot of the ex NFL players who broadcast those games don’t belong in the booth. They are too gimmicky with too many over exuberant moments.
Now get off my lawn.
You nailed it here. Herbie diagrams the play prior to seeing the replay. It’s immediate. You can tell he sees the game very well in live action.
