Eric Collins Calling First NFL Game (ours)

[Move the Panthers to Raleigh]

I thought Collins was great, and he actually brought some local insight to the game as well. But Schlereth was awkward about reacting to little factoids, so he just changed the subject.

In short, Collins = good, Schlereth = bad

That would be a first, calling him out for poor play. I have yet to hear it preciously. 

They couldn't avoid it today.  Its was bad. It got to the point that they didn't pass the ball for awhile. Thats when the run game took off. That allowed Young to get into some semblance of a rhythm. But when Rico started to get banged up and out of gas the defense was able to back off and effect the passing game.

Thanks for the perspective. I was gonna turn on the radio broadcast for the 4th qtr but I was so sure they were gonna blow it and I didn’t want to subject myself to it.

I just call it like it is. It was typical Panthers football with some rookies starting to stand out until the second half. Something happened in the locker room the flipped a switch or lit a fire on more than a few folks on the team. Don't get me wrong it's still a bad team. But at least for half a game they decided to fight back.

He did great I hope he can call more games

Twitter loved him. Got a shout out from Ari Meirov, Brett Kollman, Matt Treina, PFF guys, and others

I love EC and I think he did a good job today, but I like him better when he can bring that energy while being a homer for the Hornets. He was a little too high energy for an unbiased announcer today.

I wish he had thrown in some more of his zingers. Like a cat hangin' off the screen door! lol. He should seriously be in either a football movie or whatever kinda Madden video game crap they make nowadays
