And he does have an anti-Packers bias. He will give them credit only because he'd look like a damn loon not talking up Rodgers and how good the offense is. That's just fact.


He also talked about how well the defense has been playing. So its not just Rodgers. Just because he doesnt gush over everything Packers doesnt make him anti-Packers.

He says both good and bad things about the Packers during games. Notice just because he says bad things doesnt make him have an anti-Packers bias. Good lord listen to him call a Cowboys game. When they stink it up he rips them apart.

His job is to be NEUTRAL. That means saying BOTH good and bad things depending on whats warrented. Just because your disregarding or blocking out when he compliments doesnt mean hes noy doing his job or being biased

I actually agree most of the time he is pretty good, I just thought some of his criticisms late in the game were over the top, mostly I was mad that we didn't get a good replay of the safety stop because they were too busy showing him and Buck.

I can't stand Joe Buck though, I think he is a douche :P

Every team's fans swear that Aikman hates them.

The only guys I really didn't like calling games this year was David Diehl and I think Thom Brennaman. Those guys were the worst.

Thom Brennaman is the worst at everything. He's Sidney Moncrief level bad.

Yeah, Brennaman is truly awful. Sam Rosen is the PBP guy that I really can't stand.

Buck and Aikman are by far better than most of the other crews that get to call games.

Aikman was crying hosannas for Aaron Rodgers when he and Buck announced all of our playoff games/Super Bowl in 2011. I don't agree with all of his calls, but I don't think he hates the Packers.

I don't either. I think Aikman is pretty level headed overall which is why his calling of the game on Sunday was so weird.

I actually like Aikman as a color guy. I don't think he really favors anyone so every fan base feels like he hates them. I also think older Packer fans assume he hates the Packers because of the 90's rivalry between the Packers and Cowboys.

ETA: I was at the game last Sunday so I didn't hear how he called it.

Aikman is a good announcer. You people are weird. Who even cares if he hates the Packers or loves them.

You want him to be John Gruden who loves every player in the NFL and has a love fest for even 3rd string QBs.
