The AFC North's Reaction to Week 8

[@Tennishangman]

I love how the NFC has a ref and the AFC has a literal blood demon, and between the two, the blood demon is by far the more sympathetic character.

[@TheCoyote808]

Because Ref is the real villain of this tale.

[@andrewevers2420]

The Blood demon will keep his deal.

[@Mr.X2188]

​@@TheCoyote808Blood Demon is like a nice back massage compared to what Ref has done to my Lions

[@Tytoalba777]

You'll believe a blood demon can cry

[@kevinramsey417]

If the blood demon is assigned to deal exclusively with NFL fans, it's a wonder he hasn't quit. Day after day, the exact same stupid requests. You can't convince me a Broncos fan didn't ask the demon to make Tim Tebow the most clutch quarterback in the league at the cost of being the worst quarterback in the league until the last two minutes of each game in 2010. And you can't convince me it wasn't Perna. @TheCoyote808 Don't worry, I'm pretty sure the blood demon has a cozy spot in Hell for the refs. Not even demons would stoop as low as the refs have.

[@furrymemelady622]

The Blood Demon stole Steve’s soul, but Steve stole Blood Demon’s heart 💖

[@shruggzdastr8-facedclown]

...and the kicker to that being Blood Demon not even knowing that it had a heart to begin with 'til Steeler Steve stole it from him!

[@elliotb1795]

You can see Tom had a hard time keeping it in for " PaPa Caw Caw". 🤣

[@fakename712]

My immediate thought was, i need to register that account name under every platform i could think of

[@aintwritebacktho]

“Goose Springsteen.” “Ok that one’s pretty good.” only loyal fans get that reference.

[@zacharyshearer1569]

Agreed.

[@starkness12]

This man never ceases to deliver. This series is better than most television

[@MartyDavis-g1t]

[@emperorzz]

Blood Demon is just a secret tsundere Steeler fan, I love him so much 😂

[@brysonturner6019]

Just like Jr. has a connection to the NFC EAST family, Desire has a connection with Steve. It might be interesting to see how that could play a role in the lore.

[@tcodes27]

“If you think that’s good I got dozens.” Intentional or not, that was an egg-cellent line.

[@scottcarter8864]

I'm guessing week 9 is when we'll start seeing the AFC & NFC North together.

[@elliotb1795]

Blood Demon is planning something.

[@Hawkmeter]

Tom already mentioned in one of his Q&As that this week would be the last week of separate AFC and NFC sagas.

It was about this time last year when the NFC South got evicted and had to move in with the AFC. Not surprised and really excited.

[@sarahbuchholz8767]

Loving the names you came up with for the hard boiled egg. My friend runs a charity rescue farm in the south of England. He has a bunch of peacocks and peahens. He named a peahen chickjager a couple years ago. He actually has a lot of animals with musician names.

[@foyboy03]

How does a NY kid grow up a Packer’s fan and write episodic series that are way better than crap on TV. Thanks Tom

[@cubingcraft2]

this is going to be SO GOOD, week 9 will probably be together

As a Steelers fan honestly the fact they were playing the Tennessee Titans is a relief in itself but unfortunately, not even the blood demon can make it easy for us

[@NeonBeeCat]

Dont get too comfy buddy!

[@Mailliw8007]

Hey that hurt😢

[@backupaccount7306]

The cruel part is there never is relief for steelers fans. No matter what week or what opponent. We always play only as good as the other team. And we have to hope that is enough

[@stellaragent3787]

​@@backupaccount7306 are you ready for the sad truth... whenever fans bring up the whole we play to the level of our opponents thing, is when they do not yet realize its the beginning of the end of there era of success the packer said it the Patriots said it and oh hey look... 👀😐😬 Too soon???

[@cstains5543]

The ref really did a number on the Steelers this past week so it's good to see the demon comfort his friend Steve. There were at least two late hits on Pickett including the one that took Pickett out of the game neither of which were called and then they didn't even bother to call the Jags for lining up in the neutral zone when they threw that penalty against the Steelers putting them out of field goal range even though the Jags had two defensive players inside the neutral zone on that same play. Hate ref ball with a passion. Never liked watching games where it seems like the refs have their thumb on the scale.
