A few brief thoughts on NFL Week 15

 And now this week's edition of The NFL In So Many Words, the incorrigibly vacillating Blob feature of which critics have said "Incorrigibly what?", and also "Vasoline? What does Vasoline have to do with anything?":

1. "Oh, so that's what vacillating means!" (America, after vacillating from "This is the Cowboys year!" to "OK, so maybe not" in the wake of their 31-10 no-show against the Bills)

2. "Look what the Colts did to the Steelers!" (Colts fans)

3. "Oh, wait, it was the Steelers." (Also Colts fans)

4. "Hey, maybe we're not so bad!" (Bears fans, after they thoroughly trounced the Lions a week ago)

4. "Fire Eberflus! Trade Justin Fields!" (Bears fans a week later, after losing to Joe Flacco -- Joe Flacco! -- and the Browns)

5. Meanwhile, the Lions!

6. Lose by two touchdowns to the Bears, then dismantle the surging Broncos.

7. "It's all falling apart! No, wait, it's not!" (Lions fans)

8. "It's all falling apart! No, wait it's not! No, wait it is!" (Eagles fans, after slumping Philly gives up a touchdown pass with 28 seconds to play to snatch a 20-17 loss to the Seahawks from the jaws of victory)

9. "Hey, at least we still suck!" (The Jets, after averaging 1.9 yards per play in a 30-0 loss to the Dolphins)

10. "So do we!" (The Steelers, the Patriots, the Giants, the Cardinals)
