Here we go again.

Al Michaels has gotten a ton of criticism over his unenthusiastic calls on Amazon Prime Video's Thursday Night Football. It felt last year like week after week, X (formerly Twitter) would find a call to rip on because there was no excitement from the broadcasting legend.

Well, it happened again on Thursday in Week 2. James Cook scored on an incredible play call by the Buffalo Bills, and Michaels' called was underwhelming.

That resulted in a lot of talk on social media about how Michaels was past his prime. Here's a sampling of reaction to that touchdown and beyond:
