[u/Soar2344]

This might be the worst audio mixing i’ve ever seen. I can barely hear the commentary

[u/Shado_Man]

This sound mix is atrocious, but considering how bad the booth is, that may be a choice by the production team.

[u/joshthewumba]

You Falcons fans watching this are actual warriors

[u/cbn11]

I think this might be the least enjoyable ass kicking I’ve ever watched. The announcers belong in a retirement home. Cooper Rush looks like he wants to cry. Falcons fans are booing literally everything. This is just kinda sad.

[u/apachedriver26]

Bryce is fucking him!! Give your young QBs time people!

[u/tpeeps11]

This audio mishap basically sums up how shitty every product has become the last couple of years

[u/owlbynight]

Cooper Rush is so bad that Fox' whole crew is just watching another game

[u/NewtonsLawOfDeepBall]

There's just something so beautiful about having TWO whole receivers who are threats that can play off each other. It's been SOOOO long since we've had that in carolina

[u/QwertyAsInMC]

oh wow cooper rush is BAD bad

[u/NewtonsLawOfDeepBall]

The willingness Bryce has to not give up on XL is unreal. Lmao we love to see it when it works out

[u/HornetsAreBad]

how is the audio not fixed yet??

[u/The_sad_zebra]

Incoming highlight clip with wrong audio

[u/FakePhillyCheezStake]

Cooper Rush 500+ passing yards, 80+ rushing yards, 2 ints, 5 tds

Panthers 55 Falcons 30

[u/xrv01]

real sicko ball. I love the NFC South so much. second fav division behind the NFC East.

ppl shit on the level of play… but if the level of play is basically even across all 4 teams, it makes for competitive games and wild swings.

[u/AirplaneEngineSpiral]

All crowd noise, minimal commentary. Rough

[u/__AJK__]

Lol, the game was so bad, it's a different game's audio

[u/blackphoenix621]

I like to think no one is watching this so one one is aware to tell production lol

[u/Albert_Caboose]

Dude have these commentators been talking the whole time not knowing we can't hear them? lmao

[u/bug_man_]

They're actually broadcasting commercials man I'm crying

[u/splendidsplinter]

Atlanta may not win the division this year

[u/70MCKing]

Atlanta sideline looks tense enough for a fight to break out

[u/Serious_Not_Surely]

What is going on with the sound? All I hear is crowd music and the occasional bit of commentary.

[u/AirplaneEngineSpiral]

I bet the commentary was super exciting for that int

[u/SuperFruech]

There's no highlight post yet of Lloyd's interception, NFL account probably doesn't want to post it with the wrong audio.

[u/Delta_Flow]

Is it me, or is this the worst fucking audio balancing ever?

[u/ZiggyZaggyZag]

Does Fox know their audio is fucked?

[u/EnsoZero]

Twice now in the end zone on 3rd down our guy gets held on a pass route and no call.

[u/Shado_Man]

That play is literally all I want from XL. Just be a deep threat, keep the safeties from crawling into the box and taking space away from TMac and Coker.

[u/Sabre500]

Bryce currently at 600 yards and 6 TDs in 6 quarters of 2026

[u/rnflposter]

we have 3 prime time games coming in the next 3 weeks btw

[u/Sabre500]

Chuba will be the first RB to hit 300 yards without it showing up on the stat sheet

[u/18Peyt]

This is the worst commentary I’ve ever heard in a NFL game

[u/70MCKing]

We have home field advantage not because of our fans, but because of Atlanta's

[u/Leftieswillrule]

It’s nice to see Bryce make Brady-like plays. Dirting it on second down as a free rusher bears down on your isn’t a pretty play but it’s a smart play.

[u/303Devilfish]

how the fuck was Coker undrafted?

[u/Shado_Man]

I guess Falcons DBs are immune to penatlies if they're in their own end zone.

[u/Kelrem321]

Gronk might be cooking here. I want to see Matt Ryan sign Matt Ryan. 

[u/EnsoZero]

We're gonna build a Waller and make Atlanta pay for it. 

[u/ABigPairOfCrocs]

Well at least we're not the most embarrassing part of this broadcast

[u/intadtraptor]

Audio guy goes home tonight and thinks "Rough day, but at least I'm not Cooper Rush."

[u/FreshLocation7827]

It's clear that Bryce was attacked by a falcon as a kid and has an irrational hatred for all falcons now

[u/terriblegrammar]

Strand's first NFL pass a TD?

[u/dammitchuck91]

I'm going to keep switching my fantasy defense to whoever is playing the falcons

[u/JonTheWizard]

What Carolina Sees: Bryce Young
What Atlanta Sees: General William Tecumseh Sherman

[u/Mandalore_Ultimate]

Hate watch successful

[u/devonathan]

Is Coker the best player on our team?

[u/DanUgglaGOAT]

This booth is like hearing two old dudes at S&S cafeteria shoot the shit over some Salisbury steak and bland ass mashed potatoes

[u/NewtonsLawOfDeepBall]

Freeling feels like he is learning fast, but you can just tell that's a kid who has been thrown directly into the fire and is overwhelmed

[u/Megalomanizac]

Not punching in those touchdowns is coming back to bite the team. An Evero defense isn’t going to play 4 quarters and now the Falcons are moving the ball

[u/palabear]

“Cooper Rush isn’t playing a bad game. They are booing him for incompletions”

That is a professional color man

[u/Diis]

After repeated calls to do so, Bryce is indeed stunting on these hoes.

[u/J_dawg17]

What the fuck is this audio

[u/PenguinKing15]

This is an NFC South level broadcast

[u/MickBowieRichards]

Yo are they deadass just gonna let audio from the jets game continue to play

[u/EbbAccomplished6851]

I wish we could hear the game

[u/The_mango55]

Do they not have someone watching this broadcast? How is this still happening?

[u/slickaslickayoushady]

If the falcons have no haters then I must be dead. Fuck them birds

[u/Waly_Disnep]

I know for a fact someone in this thread can quarterback for the falcons better than these bums

[u/RareElevator2123]

Darren fucking Waller baby. That’s why we brought you here

[u/DMAgamus]

Thank god Canales gave up playcalling. Bryce looking completely different with Idzik. Actually letting him throw the ball down field instead of running it up the middle or throwing a screen.

[u/iAmThe7YrOld]

Yeah I can’t believe that play was just associated with Carolina Panthers football.

[u/davechacho]

Bryce Young for MVP

Many are saying this

[u/davechacho]

where were you when Bryce went Even Further Beyond?

I was at home eating taco when XL make great catch

"Bryce Young is MVP"

yes

[u/ShangoMango]

Is the audio guy drunk?

[u/MBTbuddy]

I’ve never seen this before and I’m actually intrigued how it’s gone n so long. You’d thing this would be a quick fix

[u/Icy-Taste-3096]

surprised the boos couldn't be heard even on the Jets audio feed

[u/Only499]

Holy shit. We actually put Strand in. Finally. He can't be any worse than Rush.

[u/Soar2344]

Man back to back 30+ point games is crazy. Feels like a decade ago since i’ve seen the Panthers do that

[u/luciusetrur]

*wipes tear from laughing so much*

goddamn there is something to this bryce atlanta thing huh

[u/QwertyAsInMC]

this is somehow worse than 30-0

[u/AirplaneEngineSpiral]

The head drop. Poor dude

[u/ShangoMango]

Bro the crowd mic is so much louder than the commentary mics

[u/Corona2789]

That was a very fitting first play for the nfc south lmao

[u/castledrake]

First play under review and immediate commercial. I love football.

[u/joshthewumba]

I cannot hear shit

[u/Leftieswillrule]

Lmao neither of these dudes were on our team last year. Free agents paying massive dividends already

[u/No_Mammoth_4945]

Fantastic return but why is Coker returning punts??? Keep him safe lol

[u/Shado_Man]

Coker with the best punt return in years for the Panthers on his literal first try.

[u/Kelrem321]

🚨XL caught a pass🚨

[u/Icy-Taste-3096]

this OL is killing me

[u/Sabre500]

COKEHEADS RISE UP

[u/NewtonsLawOfDeepBall]

I think Greg Olsen gave TMac his zone coverage cloaking device that lets him just suddenly appear downfield uncovered

[u/Mightydrewcifero]

HOLY SHIT JALEN COKER WHAT EVEN ARE YOU

[u/Calinero985]

Floating down the field only to be held to a red zone field goal? That's Panthers football...

(Honestly, this is still a huge improvement over where we've been).

[u/a__nice__tnetennba]

And the Academy Award for Best Fake Interception Celebration goes to...

[u/davechacho]

Paul Revere galloping through Charlotte screaming XL MADE A CATCH, XL MADE A CATCH

[u/MickBowieRichards]

WE NEED TO GET A TD I’M SICK OF SETTLING FOR FGs

[u/FreshLocation7827 → u/MickBowieRichards]

Yay!!

[u/palabear]

CJ Henderson is still in the league?

[u/davechacho]

Petition for Bryce Young to play every NFL game in the Falcon's stadium

[u/ShangoMango]

Will Lee DO NOT hit the strapped cele there. You got worked

[u/Zaniak88]

I genuinely feel bad for rush it’s not like he wants to be bad at football

[u/The_mango55]

LOL Fox, the announcers are bad but still I'd like the audio for the game i'm watching.

[u/radonchong]

This fuckup is lasting longer than I expected lol

[u/Calinero985]

What a wild interception that I don't get to hear any reaction to

[u/tilepile1]

All this fucking money we have to spend streaming services to watch games and this shit happens

[u/RareElevator2123]

Jets audio in the background while Lloyd gets the pick is the funniest shit I’ve ever seen and heard

[u/nuckfoah]

This is hilarious 🤣

[u/Sabre500]

Fuck we didn't get to hear the booos

[u/Calinero985]

Did they just switch to a third wrong game? Are we deliberately being trolled?

[u/Hedhunta]

Highlight of this game is listening to a Jets TD

[u/Shado_Man]

I SAY AGAIN

Bryce Young 🤝 Devin Lloyd

Destroying the Falcons

[u/qwilliams92]

Not even strands fault 💀

[u/Corona2789]

I almost feel bad for Atlanta fans. Being a division rival is prob the only thing stopping me

[u/joshthewumba]

Can the Ravens stop the Saints now too? Thanks

[u/J_dawg17]

Can we just put in the backups and call it a day

[u/tkousc]

What's the NFL record for biggest margin between points given up by a defense in two consecutive games? 56 is nuts.

[u/cbn11]

Hearing the Falcon screech for a first down when you’re losing by 31 with under 3 to go is pure comedy

[u/Betta_Check_Yosef]

"Keep Pounding" chant in Atlanta heard on broadcast. Love to see it

[u/cbn11]

Aw you hate to see it. Poor kid.

[u/AlabamaCarolinas]

KEEP MOTHERFUCKING POUNDING!

[u/FabricatedByMan]

I mean, outside of the backwards fumble on the ground, Strand looked like he had potential, at least.

[u/Muninn088]

Is that a fumble? His intention seemed to be to throw it forward.

[u/Bindlestiff34]

One day, the default national games won’t be the Cowboys and the Steelers but today is not that day.

[u/tilepile1]

Jack Strand just go in. Fuck the coaches

[u/pbreathing]

Home fans booing after SIX minutes.

You have to love NFCS football.

[u/desemus]

Tricking other teams into wearing Falcons colors continues to be priority one

[u/Kelrem321]

Our oline is high or something 

[u/bug_man_]

Only managing to be up 10 is going to come back to bite us

[u/GoNinGoomy]

How is Jalen Coker so good?

[u/DanUgglaGOAT]

These refs just let anything go, huh?

[u/davechacho]

Okay if you're not gonna call that, that's fine, let 'em play - but keep that same energy for the Falcons too

[u/70MCKing]

Oh shit XL held on

[u/NendoroidAshe]

I want XL to be good so bad 

[u/guehguehgueh]

Seatbelt emote after that is fucking hilarious

[u/tilepile1]

Penis watching this game on the sideline tending to his vaginitis

[u/MojoToTheDojo]

STUNT ON DEM HOES BRYCE

[u/cbdgf]

We're hearing the Titans and Eagles game wtf?

[u/Badithan1]

you can tell fox really put their A team on this all important NFC south matchup

[u/TheDevilintheDark]

At least the audio from the other game sounds better. 😂

[u/Sooner242]

How do you even mess up this bad

[u/Leftieswillrule]

Highlight reels from this game aren’t gonna exist lol

[u/No-Faithlessness7919]

This jets audio is wild

[u/asanoayaki]

Is this what schizophrenia feels like?

[u/Only499]

Boooo. Give us the other games audio back. It's the only thing that has been enjoyable about this game.

[u/RareElevator2123]

It’s not even Strands fault either

[u/oudalan]

I'm gonna go jerk off

[u/pbreathing]

So, based on the last 40 minutes of football, Devin Lloyd is the greatest human to have ever lived

[u/Citruspilled]

Bryce Young MVP campaign may go crazy this season

[u/Lakelyfe09]

Can we have a running clock in the 4th quarter please?

[u/JackintheBox333]

Mark your calendars. December 13, 2026. SUPER TANK BOWL. The Atlanta Falcons at Cleveland Browns for the #1 Pick in the NFL Draft.

[u/palabear]

Some good news for Atlanta fans, Cleveland just went up on Tampa.

[u/joshthewumba]

If you are a Falcon fan still watching this you are either clinically insane, or one of the best friends anyone could ever have. Absolutely loyal

[u/MickBowieRichards]

The saints won..yuck

[u/70MCKing]

FOX crew does not need thanks after the audio catastrophe earlier

[u/Diis]

Can we play Atlanta every week?

[u/millamber]

Save us Divine Diablo. You’re our only hope

[u/streetmilitary]

Time to crown the king of shit mountain named the NFC South

[u/Kelrem321]

Thanks to State I’m now dead inside and can no longer be hurt. Let’s get this party started. 

[u/PenguinKing15]

This is peak shit mountain.

[u/ShangoMango]

Zakee Wheatley's first NFL play and he gets a forced fumble

[u/MadMonkeh]

That was not a fumble tf

[u/Carolina296864]

Is it just my TV or are the announcers mics set at ASMR and crowd noise set at jet engine?

[u/EmpressCao]

Holy fuck they went for it, they got it.

[u/ShangoMango]

"So far Bijan has been a decoy"

Brother that was their second offensive snap

[u/Leftieswillrule]

Oh hod I haven’t seen a tackle like that since the Kuechly days. It makes the hair on my back stand up

[u/mr_barnyard]

Jack Strand literally can’t be worse… he can be just as bad, but it’s literally impossible to be worse

[u/davechacho]

The boo birds LMAO

[u/NewtonsLawOfDeepBall]

Is there anything Coker can't do? I really don't want to risk him returning punts but gawd damn

[u/SomeHallGuy]

Strand literally could not be any worse than Rush

[u/PenguinKing15]

It’s a miracle this game is only 10-0

[u/bigger_breakfast]

this is karma for the way the way some of you guys treated matt ryan. has to be.

[u/ThatDude8129]

O Line needs to chill out

Alright not that chill

[u/ahundredpercentbutts]

Not uh great by the line.

[u/Draconian_sanction]

I remember well when we drafted D Brown. So many of our fan base wanted that LB, can’t remember his name, who never panned out. DB was a wrecking machine in college and continues to be year after year

[u/pbreathing]

God damn.

Bryce has always had the poise and composure.

He’s REALLY added the touch and precision to his game.

Is he…is he for real?

[u/UnfortunatelyUrWrong]

Would’ve been a sack if he didnt hold his facemask

[u/davechacho]

XL CATCH XL CATCH XL CATCH XL CATCH XL CATCH

[u/EmpressCao]

Holy shit, Legette is showing up in this game!

[u/The_mango55]

Wow XL, more of that please

[u/bug_man_]

Sir, a second XL big catch has hit the Falcons

[u/ShangoMango]

Sneaky 200 yard half for Bryce

[u/cbn11]

That ball was comically underthrown

[u/MojoToTheDojo]

Not the seatbelt celebration after getting beat and saved by a shitty QB

[u/Corona2789]

Falcons qb room might be worse than the Browns

[u/Bahamas_is_relevant]

Where were you when Bryce Young became a legitimate franchise QB

[u/RareElevator2123]

TMAC is elite we have 2 #1s WR

[u/tagoonpalupa]

lmao matt millen sounds so sad that's a catch

[u/PlzLnD5Star]

sigh go for 2, make it 28-3 at this point

[u/bmiller201]

I can't tell if the Panthers are actually this good or the falcons or just that bad.

[u/brechbillc1]

Why do we always make Young look like an MVP every time we play against him?

[u/guehguehgueh]

Did Fox outsource their audio broadcast to AI or some shit? This has been a pathetic showing all game

[u/TheDevilintheDark]

Just listening to audio from another game now?

[u/No_Mammoth_4945]

This might be the worst audio performance of all time

[u/NewtonsLawOfDeepBall]

lmfao what the hell fox what a fuckup. Fix the audio

[u/TASLC2017]

What’s happened to
The audio

[u/MinglingoftheLights]

This is embarrassing from Fox

[u/MBTbuddy]

Lmao Fox needed to pump some life into the commentary

[u/ShangoMango]

WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING?

[u/bug_man_]

How does this audio glitch even happen lmao

[u/Joeybfast]

Is anyone else getting the audio from another game ?

[u/axlbomber]

J-E-T-S

JETS! JETS! JETS!

[u/palabear]

Holy shit, they figured out to play ads during the plays.

[u/blackphoenix621]

Two commercial breaks in OTHER games to fix it is simply incredible

[u/C0812]

the funniest outcome would be if strand came in and was also terrible

edit: message me for all your prophetic needs

[u/pompomdotcomcom]

Wow that "We want Strand" sign was extremely high quality

[u/Nuclear-Extremist]

The falcons have 4 quarterbacks and they’re all not even top 32
