A few brief thoughts on NFL Week 12

 And now this week's edition of The NFL In So Many Words, the pass-happy Blob feature of which critics have said "Enough passing! Run the ball, dummy!", and also "I'll turn this car right around if you don't start running the ball! I mean it!":

1. "Run the ball, dummy!" (Everyone in America who watched the Colts throw the ball 26 straight times in a 38-31 loss to the Buccaneers, while the best running back in the league, Jonathan Taylor, stood around going "Uh ... guys?")

2. "Hey, look! The Patriots won again!" (People in New England)

3. "Oh, no! The Patriots won again!" (People everywhere else)

4. Meanwhile, the Jets and Texans.

5. Played a football game the Jets won 21-14, in case you were wondering.

6. "We weren't." (People everywhere but Houston and New York)

7. "Can't anybody beat these guys? Rodgers has a busted toe, for God's sake!" (People everywhere but Green Bay)

8. "Hey, don't look at us!" (The once Super Bowl-bound Rams, 36-28 losers to the Pack)

9. "Dammit! Lincoln Riley beat me to it!" (Pete Carroll, after the Seahawks lost again, and Riley landed his old job at USC)

10. "Suck it, Petey!" (Lincoln Riley, presumably)
