All Takes

Win

The formula for the Browns to beat the Chiefs is a dominant run game and keeping Patrick Mahomes off the field

We have to have the absolute best running game that the Cleveland organization has seen in the last 10 years... and the Chiefs defense is like 31st against the run. If we can get out to control the clock, early start, gain a lead, and kill time, that is our best chance.

The Browns did use this strategy and nearly won, losing 22-17 after Mahomes left with a concussion.

If you don't like Lamar Jackson, you're an asshole

I'm a huge Lamar Jackson fan. I am. Even though I'm a Browns guy, I feel like he's the most likable player in the NFL. If you don't like Lamar, you're an asshole. That's how I kind of feel.

This is entirely subjective.

Eventually there will be a QB who runs like Lamar Jackson and passes like Patrick Mahomes

Think about eventually there's going to be a quarterback who can run like Lamar and pass like Patrick Mahomes. And then our minds are going to be just blown at that point.

The league is seeing more dual-threat QBs (Josh Allen, Anthony Richardson, Caleb Williams prospects), but a true hybrid with both Lamar's speed and Mahomes' arm is still the holy grail.

Jalen Ramsey is the best cornerback on planet Earth

Jalen Ramsey is the best corner on planet Earth. He really is... it takes three guys to block Aaron Donald. And Jalen can guard anybody one-on-one for the regular time, let alone a quicker tick because he has Aaron Donald chasing down the quarterback.

In 2020-2021, Ramsey was widely considered the premier shutdown corner, earning All-Pro honors.

The Browns' offense improved when Odell Beckham Jr. got injured because Baker Mayfield stopped forcing him the ball

When OBJ went down, the offense kind of started clicking more because at that point Baker Mayfield stopped thinking, 'Oh, let me get Jarvis touches, OBJ touches'... and it was like, 'Let me just throw to the open guy.'

The Browns' offense statistically improved and became more efficient after OBJ's season-ending injury in Week 7.

The Buccaneers will beat the Saints in the Divisional Round

I actually have the Bucs winning this game... Antonio Brown is starting to look like Antonio Brown... they're finally getting his rhythm. Couple that with some of the injuries on the Saints side... I'm going with the Bucs.

The Buccaneers defeated the Saints 30-20 in the Divisional Round.
