Look At These 40 NFL Memes Instead Of Crying About Your Parlay

NFL Memes

Oh, look at this! Another Sunday, another absolute disaster for your fantasy team. I love the NFL, I really do, but sometimes watching these games is like voluntarily getting punched in the gut for three hours. You got the refs out there throwing flags like they’re handing out flyers for a club opening. You got quarterbacks making forty million dollars to throw the ball directly into the ground. It’s a beautiful, chaotic mess, and we can’t look away.

That’s why these memes are important. They act as a pressure valve. When your team blows a 17-point lead in the fourth quarter, you can either put your foot through the drywall or you can laugh at a picture of a sad mascot. These jokes capture the specific agony of being a football fan. The highs, the lows, and the absolute absurdity of screaming at a TV screen because a guy in stripes measured a first down with a piece of paper.

Scrolling through these really puts the season in perspective. It reminds you that every fanbase is miserable in their own unique way. You got the dynasty teams whose fans are spoiled brats, and you got the poverty franchises who treat a single win like the Super Bowl. These memes level the playing field. Everyone gets roasted equally here.

It’s actually therapeutic. You realize you aren’t the only one losing your mind over a holding call that happened twenty yards away from the play. The internet remains undefeated when it comes to capturing the split-second heartbreak of a missed field goal. It’s cruel, but it’s funny.
