A few brief thoughts on NFL Week 11

 And now this week's edition of The NFL In So Many Words, the on-second-thought Blob feature of which critics have said "You mean you actually had a first thought?", and also "On second thought, Imma take you to Fist City. punk": 

1. "On second thought, maybe we should have punted a time or two." (The Lions, who kept failing on fourth down and lost to the Eagles)

2. "Yeah, no s***, Sherlock." (Lions punter Jack Fox)

3. "On second thought, maybe I should have retired to start on the wedding plans." (Travis Kelce of the Chiefs, who caught nine balls for 91 yards and a touchdown and still lost to Denver)

3. "Count us in!" (The rest of the Chiefs, who are now 5-5, 1-4 on the road, 0-5 in one-score games and 3 1/2 games behind the 9-2 Broncos in the AFC West)

4. "Me, too!" (Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers -- who's, like, 85 now -- after leaving  a 34-12 win over the Bengals cradling a possibly broken wrist. Senior citizen abuse, it's such a plague on our great nation.)

5. "On second thought, maybe I shoulda kept my expectoration to myself." (Bengals wideout Ja'Marr Chase, who was suspended one game for spitting on Steelers cornerback Jalen Ramsay)

6. "Yeah, no s***, Sherlock! Who do you think you are, Vontaze Burfict?" (Bengals fans)

7. "Wait, how did I get dragged into this?" (Vontaze Burfict, the notorious Bengals cheap-shot artist who's been retired for six years) 

8. In other news, the Bears gave another L the slip, beating the Vikings on the road on a last-second field goal. The Jaguars came from, well, somewhere, to ball-peen the Chargers 35-6. The Packers tried hard to lose but finally accepted a 27-20 win over the hapless Giants, and Shedeur Sanders put up a 13.5 rating (4-of-16 passing, 47 yards, one pick) in his much-anticipated debut for the even hapless-er Browns.

9. "On second thought, maybe we should have taken him in the SEVENTH round." (Browns fans)

10. "On second thought ... thanks, I guess." (The Bears and Packers)*

(*"And on second thought, we'll just lie down here and take a nap on this fake grass." -- The Chargers)
