NFL Replay

[isetcap]

Is a spectacular production!

I've seen it now on 3 occasions and each time I like it more. You get a genuine feel for the game. You get different announcers on key plays. All the white space is cleared out. It's packaged very professionally like you would expect a NFL product to be. I think it's an invaluable way to get your real game knowledge and data. Even better than Tivo! Well done, NFL.

NFL RePlay

NFL game broadcasts from the previous weekend, complete with original television announcers and cameras, will be re-televised on NFL Network, just days after their live airing.

This marks the first-time in the 86-year history of the NFL that games from the NFL regular-season or playoffs are shown outside their live window.

During the 2006 season, NFL Replay will feature four of the most exciting games from the weekend, re-airing exclusively on NFL Network Tuesday and Wednesday evenings.

Two contests will be shown each Tuesday and Wednesday night with 8 and 10:30 p.m. ET kickoff times.

NFL Replay games will air in a 90-minute fast-paced format, without halftime and other elements not critical to the outcome. NFL Replay will tell the story of the game with additional features.

In order to give the games context, NFL Network will add sideline and on-field sound captured during the game and post-game press conference sound bites.

Other enhancements will include exclusive shots and camera angles from NFL Films, allowing fans an inside look at game action they did not see on Sunday. This will give fans a deeper understanding of the game, the players and the coaches.

For example, if NFL Replay was featuring the Colts-Steelers AFC Divisional Playoff where Jerome Bettis fumbled late in the game, viewers would see related comments from Bettis, Bill Cowher and others immediately after the play, as well as slow-motion footage showing the play as it unfolded.

NFL Network has the ability to select any NFL game for use on NFL Replay.

It's really the best product of its kind out there. The breakdown on key plays is quite special. You get to walk through the play with analysis from the player, coaches, and announcers who were involved in the play.

I watched the replay for the game in Tampa Bay. I had previously seen the game when it aired on Sunday (yes, I was that happy to see the Eagles lose). Using the Replay format, the NFL was able to properly package the great moment that took place when Bryant kicked the 62-yard field goal on the last play of the game. You got to hear what he said about it in the press conference. You got to hear what Gruden was thinking when he made the decision. You got to hear how Reid felt about it. You got to listen to McNabb explain how he was such a great leader that he managed to make sure the Eagles got the almost-win (a NHL-type special category of loss reserved only for teams led by McNabb), after throwing almost as many TD passes to Ronde Barber as his own team.
