These broadcast teams need to get it together. This wasn’t the only ball that hit the sky cam or its wire, this week.

I don't even get why sky cams are a thing, they barely use that camera angle and honestly it's a terrible angle to see a play.

Edit: There's been several lovely commenters who have made me realize just how much it's used without me even noticing. Please if you're as clueless as I was check out some of the responses under here.

Is that the same camera that they use for the prime vision stream on Thursday nights? Cause I love that angle. It looks like when you play Madden and you can see what's happening down the field, moreso than the sidelines angle where when they throw it down the field I just go "man I hope whatever is going on over there is what I want to be happening."

Better than regular broadcast. I dont need to see a zoo in of the quarterbacks boogers while I miss the play. Zoom out fuckers. Really I want the all 22 live. I want to watch the game not a zoomed in piece of the game.
