A few brief thoughts on NFL Week 18

 And now this season's final edition of The NFL In So Many Words, the enduring Blob feature of which critics have said "Really? We don't have to ENDURE it any more, bwah-ha-ha-ha?” and also "Final? You mean as in, FINAL?":

1. "Hey, check it out! We FINALLY eliminated Aaron Rodgers from the playoffs, bwah-ha-ha-ha!" (Your new favorite NFL team, the Detroit Lions)

2. ",,, bwah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!" (The Lions, still laughing)

3. "The hell are we thinking?" (The Indianapolis Colts, after erasing a 24-14 deficit to go ahead of the Houston Texans 31-24 with 3:33 to play)

4. "Don't worry! We got this!" (The Colts defense, allowing Davis Mills to take the Texans 83 yards in 14 plays, throw a touchdown pass to Jordan Akins with 50 seconds to play and throw to Akins for the two-point conversion that cemented a 32-31 win)

5. "Yay! We’ve got the No. 4 pick now!" (Colts fans)

6. "Yay! We’ve got the No. 1 pick now!" (The Chicago Bears, who did their bit by losing to the Vikings)
