Truth be told told, Eli hasn’t been good for years. Zero enthusiasm. His call of 2nd & 26 was grounds for termination. He just rolled out a canned line.

I think it’s way past time for Chris Stewart to take over.

Eli is usually more interested in where he’s going to eat after the game than the actual game.

Yeah, that was embarrassingly bad. You could tell he had planned on that line if we won the game, but it would have only fit if we had ended it in victory formation. I don't think he has much enthusiasm for the job anymore since 90% of our games are blowouts.

Truth.

If you can find an audio of the broadcast of the 1992 Sugar Bowl vs. Miami and George Teague's strip of Lamar Thomas, Eli called it as a fumble, doing a complete injustice to the magnitude of Teague's play.

I think it was after the 2018 NC game, I saw a rebroadcast of the game with segments of Eli sitting there in the booth doing the play by play while looking through binoculars. I don't know how you can do that and see the whole field and effective call the play by play.
