Collinsworth going from 'I can't even make a guess that's so close" prior to the review to "How is he the runner there and how does that stand" in the span of minutes was p amazing. Garbage commentators for that game.
Collinsworth wasn’t great but it’s extremely understandable that someone who has watched as many games as he has this year might think those plays would be called incomplete since it happened over and over again all year

He could have also (and with more justification) called the game by complaining about how offensive holding doesn’t exist in the Super Bowl or against the Patriots and how that needs to be examined. Strangely, all those plays were “great protection.” Or he could have been excited that the NFL was calling these plays correctly for once to highlight the inconsistency but he was instead furious. It was a questionable approach to the call in the first place and his need to return to that point repeatedly made it worse.
I never got the impression he was 'furious' but I didn't have the sound on super loud so maybe he was. Holding wasn't getting flagged on either side all night, the reffing was fine and good (consistent for both teams) last night.

edit : His line about the game being has good as JT's halftime show should have been a fireable offense though. Collinsworth's mistake was that he thought the lesson of this year's absurd instant replay rulings was that the catch rules are understandable, and that when in question, the pass is incomplete. In reality the lesson of instant replay was "who the hell knows what a catch is, don't even try to guess what Riveron is going to say"
