A few brief thoughts about NFL Week 2

 And now this week's edition of The NFL In So Many Words, the injury-prone Blob feature of which critics have said "Geez, you're hurt AGAIN!", and also "Dammit, stay in the pocket with these stupid posts!":

1. "Wow, look at Anthony Richardson run!" (Colts fans, after Richardson ran for two touchdowns in the first six minutes of a 31-20 win over the Texans)

2. "Why does he run so much? Doesn't he know he's gonna get hurt?" (Also Colts fans, after Richardson was concussed on his second touchdown run)

3. "See, this is why running backs aren't worth the money. 'Cause they get hurt a lot." (Some people, after the Browns' Nick Chubb went down with a season-ending knee injury in a 26-22 loss to the Steelers)

4. "See, this is why running backs want to get paid. 'Cause they get hurt a lot." (Other people)

5. Speaking of injury, how 'bout those 0-2 Bengals?

6. "The injury was last week when we got charbroiled by the Browns. This week was the insult to injury. Get it right." (Bengals fans)

7. "Hey, what about us? We're waaay more hurt than any of you guys! We're 0-2 for the first time since Belichick last smiled! That's 22 years to you and me, kids!" (Patriots fans)

8. "Oh, waaah. Lookit US! We're 0-2, our franchise quarterback is starting to remind us of Bobby Douglass, and they made us wear orange clown suits with orange helmets this week! No wonder Tampa Bay racked our asses!" (Bears fans)

9. Meanwhile, in other news, the Cowboys floor-waxed the Jets 30-10. They're 2-0, they've outscored the opposition 70-10, and their fans are talking s*** again about the Super Bowl.

10. "Yeah, well, but we didn't have Aaron!" (Jets fans, after this loss and every other loss for the rest of the season)
