The last time that Tony Romo called a game where the Cincinnati Bengals were one of the two teams playing, fans were not impressed with the CBS announcer.
That game, in case you had forgotten, was back in Week 15 when the Bengals faced the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Romo was drooling over Tom Brady throughout the entire game and it was incredibly unbearable in the first half when the Bucs got off to a double-digit lead.
Even in the second half when the Bengals came roaring back and won the game by double-digits, Romo still complimented Brady every chance that he got.
Unfortunately for Bengals fans, Romo is on the call for this Sunday's AFC Divisional matchup between the Cincinnati Bengals and the Buffalo Bills. Considering that Romo dubbed Josh Allen as "Mr. January" during the Bills' Wild Card game against the Dolphins, we should be in for an uncomfortable amount of complimenting.
Bengals fans aren't looking forward to hearing Tony Romo call the game
Tony Romo is calling the Bengals-Bills game. Anyone else gonna be watching it on mute now?

Tony Romo is calling the Bengals/Bills game. Great, my TV can be on mute the WHOLE game.

These fans have the right idea. If Romo isn't for you, then just mute the TV and put the Bengals Radio Network on instead!
I genuinely feel sorry for what Bengals fans have to experience on Sunday. Not only do they have to listen to Tony Romo gawk at Allen, but they also have to deal with Bills homer, Carl Cheffers.

This takes us into another territory for this Bengals/Bills game, which is that Carl Cheffers is the referee for Sunday's game. Buffalo is 10-2 when Cheffers officiates their games.
Screw the NFL for letting @tonyromo do the bengals game. This man is in love with josh Allen and everyone is tired of hearing him talk about nothing else. He ignores the bengals completely every time he does a bengals game

This fan is very upset about Romo being assigned to the Bengals game and states that "This man is in love with Josh Allen". Normally I roll my eyes when fans claim an announcer loves the other team more but the fact that Romo called Allen "Mr. January" and Michael Jordan during the narrow win over the Dolphins speaks volumes.
Hey @NFL how many retweets from @Bengals to not have Tony Romo call the game this week? Asking for all of our sanity.

Here's a good idea! If enough Bengals fans speak up, can Romo get removed from this week's announcer lineup?
Please keep Tony Romo off the bills/bengals game he makes me uncomfortable

This fan straight up just says that Romo makes him uncomfortable. The guy does make some unusual sounds while calling games so I get that sentiment.
Unfortunately for Bengals fans, they're going to be stuck with Tony Romo on this broadcast. If you're like the fan in the last tweet, simply mute your TV and put on the Bengals Radio Network instead.
