They did a good job of saying that the Seahawks are playing great inspite of their injuries.
Impressed with Lynch and the play-by-play guy. Only big error was when they said it was Trufant with the coverage on Tate on the TD at the end of the 1st half when it was their other rookie CB #23 (Trufant is #21).
In hindsight, agreed, the announcers did do a very serviceable job. My "fan eval" system for them is sort of like the refs (and offensive linemen)--if, after the game, you can't recall any huge idiot statements (blown assignments), and everything that stuck in your mind was more about the game and the key plays, then they did a good job. Bonus points if you can remember their names and recall a couple of their good calls (or insightful analysis) during the game that enhanced the excitement and memorability of a key play or two.
I can recall John Lynch and the play-by-play guy going over Thurmond's strip of Harry Douglas, and breaking it down, and discussing how defensive players work on that. The call on the end-of-first-half Tate TD must have been OK too, because I recall the excitement of the play, without being overly aware of the announcers' call of it.
I thought they handled the questionable reffing calls reasonably well too, like the bogus call on Bennett's sack of Ryan as a personal foul.
