Takes

The Cleveland Browns are for real

The Cleveland Browns are seven and three. The Cleveland Browns win with a, their third string quarterback in DTR. The Cleveland Browns are for real.

If Joe Flacco wins a Super Bowl with the Browns, he's won two and he's definitively elite — I put a thousand dollars on it at 50-to-1

It would be so awesome if Joe Flacco won a Super Bowl with these Browns. As of Friday I put a thousand dollars future on the Browns thinking that they were gonna get Joe Flacco. So it pays out 50 to 1. If Joe Flacco wins a Super Bowl and he does his normal Joe Flacco thing where he doesn't make any mistakes, gets the pass interferences — that would contribute so much to the Flacco discourse. At that point he's won two Super Bowls. He's elite.

Joe Flacco winning a Super Bowl with the Browns is a real possibility

It would be so awesome if Joe Flacco won a Super Bowl with these Browns... I put a thousand dollars future on the Browns thinking that they were gonna get Joe Flacco... I'm making money on Joe Flacco.

The Steelers' season is over if they lose to the Bengals next week

They're not, the season's not dead yet. But if they drop, if they drop this next game at the Bengals season's cooked.

The Texans can win the AFC South

I think that the Texans can win the division. Because they play the Jaguars next weekend... If they beat the Jaguars, they I believe are in first place in that division.

Tommy DeVito might be a franchise quarterback

Tommy DeVito might be a franchise quarterback... he now has more touchdown passes than any QB playing in New Jersey this season. That's Zach Wilson. Obviously Aaron Rodgers got hurt. Daniel Jones, Tyrod Taylor. Yeah. Tommy DeVito might be a franchise quarterback.

The Commanders should keep building around Sam Howell

I'm, I still like Sam, I still think we focus on Sam, we build around Sam. I I have not changed. He's still the guy. Sam's the guy. He had a bad day.

Jalen Ramsey makes the Dolphins' defense elite

Jalen Ramsey changes everything for the Vic Fangio defense. He was awesome. Had two Picks and I, yeah. Like if the Dolphins can play the offense they played at the beginning of the year and the defense, like they're playing right now. They are a formidable team.

Tyreek Hill will break the single-season receiving yards record

Tyreek Hill... is on pace for 2077 yards, which would be a record, obviously the extra game. No one's ever had 2000 receiving yards in the NFL in a season.

Mark Davis should hire Antonio Pierce as the full-time Raiders coach

Mark Davis, you probably don't have to pay him that much. You're already paying two coaches... It's clear that the team's responding to him. Like they're, they, they were in this game. Just give him the fucking give him the job.

Matt Eberflus is not the guy and should be fired by the Bears

Matt Eberflus is 100% not the coach and should be fired. He loses every game like this. He is a complete coward of a coach.

Brandon Staley will be fired during the season

I think he's probably candidate number one for in season firing... It feels like it's happening soon.

The Chargers aren't underachieving, they just aren't good

I don't think you can say that the Chargers are underachieving anymore. No, I think the Chargers are just the Chargers. Yeah. They're just the C words.

The Bills will make the Super Bowl and lose to the Cowboys

My overly direct take is that I think the Bills are gonna make the Super Bowl... And then lose to the Cowboys... I think they're gonna rally and and make a deep run.

The Chiefs -2.5 against the Eagles is stealing money

My overly direct take Max is the Chief's minus two and a half tonight stealing money. Patrick Mahomes at home. Andy Reid off of buy can't. All they gotta do is win the game pretty much.

Joe Flacco will lead the Browns to an AFC North title

My overly direct take guys, is that Joe Flacco will lead the Cleveland Browns to an AFC North Division Championship.

Jayden Daniels should and will win the Heisman

Jayden Daniels. Eight touchdowns... against Georgia State... He is now the favorite to win the Heisman... I don't think that you can honestly make a case that it should be anybody except for Jayden Daniels.

Jim Harbaugh will leave Michigan for the NFL after this season

I think that him accepting his punishment is a sign. He might be on the outs, which I'm excited for. Except he might go to the Chargers, which I'm not excited for.

The Bengals' season is effectively over following Joe Burrow's wrist injury.

Joe Burrow looks to be out for a very long time. I, it is a UCL injury. Couldn't grip the football. Just the biggest bummer. And now it looks like we will not get the Bengals or Joe Burrow, more importantly Joe Burrow in the playoffs... the Bengals season is over.

Joe Flacco winning a Super Bowl with the Browns is the best potential outcome for the season.

What a story that would be, huh? Oh, if Joe Flacco came in, handed the ball off for 90% of the time, threw 12 passes a game and the Browns won the Super Bowl. Yes. I think that's what I'm rooting for now.

The NFL injury reporting system is a joke that may eventually lead to congressional hearings.

Florio said, meanwhile, the NFL injury reporting system is a joke as evidenced by Burrow's wrist injury being hidden. The joke will be on the NFL when Congress calls a hearing or a prosecutor convenes a grand jury. I would love to see that... if you want to get people behind you just bring Roger Goodell up and make him testify under oath.

Baker Mayfield was the best thing to ever happen to the Cleveland Browns.

Do you think people are coming around to the take that Baker Mayfield was the best thing that's ever happened to the Browns and they should never have let him go?

Josh Dobbs is the ultimate 'fix-it' quarterback for struggling NFL teams.

There are so many teams right now being like Josh Dobbs could fix all of our problems. If the Jets had Josh Dobbs, they would be a playoff team... he basically is the guy that everyone looks to and is like, he could solve everything.

The Miami Dolphins are officially off the NFL 'Fraud List'.

I think I'm ready to take Miami off the fraud list. They won't do it this week, but I'm gearing up for them to be off the fraud list because I'm thinking that their defense is gonna start playing really well... I'm ready to push the button and say no longer fraud.

Sam Howell is officially an elite NFL quarterback.

I might've just jumped past the whole Is he the guy conversation? I'm ready to ask if he's elite. Because there's as many insult graphics have been going around. There's a lot of complimentary graphics going around about Sam Howell. He's first in big time throws.

The Bears are no longer one of the 'truly terrible' teams in the NFL.

The bears are not as bad as people think they are. They are. They're [not] the worst teams in the league... which are the Panthers, the giants, maybe the Patriots, the Cardinals... I think the Bears are a step above that. They get lumped in there. They've actually been playing really good defense.

Israel Abanikanda is set to take over the Jets' backfield.

Izzy season? Izzy, the running back. They released Michael Carter and they're giving Izzy a shot. The bills can't stop the run... I'm gonna have to bet on him to score fucking a Memes.

The Rams will exceed their win total and make the playoffs.

He [Whitworth] already said the Rams are making the playoffs this year. He still stands by it. I think they're gonna win more than seven and a half games this year.

The Washington Commanders will make a playoff run in the NFC.

I think Washington's gonna make a run. I like Washington making a run... I think Sam Howell's the guy is only getting better. I truly believe that.

Sam Howell is the poor man's version of Ryan Fitzpatrick.

Sam Howell is a poor man's Ryan Fitzpatrick. I didn't know that. If you look at his bank account, come on baby.

The Buffalo Bills stink and will not make the playoffs this year

The Buffalo Bills stink. They might be dead... I don't think they're gonna be in the playoffs. They have a really tough schedule. They're five and five now and it feels like everything, whatever it was, it was... something is very broken.

The Buffalo Bills' championship window is officially closed

You gotta talk window. That's closed. I think they're about to jump out of the window.

Josh Allen must have a 'come to Jesus' moment regarding his turnovers

Josh needs to have like a come to Jesus moment of like, Hey, I can't be a superhero in on every single play. I have to take care of the football better because you're putting your defense in a bad spot. You're putting your team in a bad spot when you throw those type of interceptions.

Russell Wilson looks like a winning quarterback again under Sean Payton

Russell Wilson actually does look good... he is playing, winning football and making plays with his feet and making nice passes and not making the mistakes.

The Gillette Stadium lighthouse is real as a symbol and a beacon of hope

Technically by definition, some would say that this lighthouse is not real. But there's some that would say that it is real... Just because PFT says this lighthouse isn't real, it doesn't mean you can't, it doesn't have to be real to you and as a region... Patriots fans, new Englanders, they'll recognize this lighthouse as a real thing, as a beacon of hope and as a symbol of our team.

Eagles vs. Chiefs on Monday Night Football will be the highest rated game of the season

I'm gonna say Eagles Chiefs Monday Night Football is going to be the highest rated game of the season moving forward. Ooh. Also there's a potential of Taylor appearing. In Prime time standalone. It has to be Super Bowl rematch.

Mac Jones is horrifically bad at quarterbacking

Mac Jones is horrifically, horrifically bad at quarterbacking in the NFL. [He's] officially official. It's not a guy.

CJ Stroud is an elite NFL quarterback

I think we can say now there's enough evidence. The Texans are just good. And CJ Stroud is elite. He's a great quarterback.

Deshaun Watson has officially arrived as a Cleveland Brown

I think I might have to say it, Deshaun Watson has officially arrived as a Cleveland Brown because... [he] drove them down the field for the game winning field goal.

The Jaguars are officially frauds

Jaguars. Are they frauds? I think they might be... they weren't really competitive against either [the Chiefs or Niners]. So yeah, I think they might be in the fraud tier.

The 49ers should move on from their kicker Jake Moody

Most people probably start looking at it in the Browns game. Their kicker [Jake Moody] isn't very good... if I was John Lynch, I would probably get a new kicker. That's all I'm gonna say.

Jordan Love is the guy and the Packers must extend him

Jordan Love actually looked, he made some nice plays downfield... Again, I think that this guy is the guy and you have to keep, you have to give him an extension. You have to, he showed you enough with those. He clearly is the guy.

Sam Howell is 100% the guy for the Commanders

Sam Howell still the guy. He's 100% the guy. Yeah. He's great. He had 312 yards, three touchdowns, no receptions. He's not taking sacks like he used to... he's learning, he's growing.

David Tepper might fire Frank Reich this week

I think that there's a chance that David Tepper fires Frank Reich this week. David Tepper did not look happy in the booth... He's a micromanager. He has a pair of brass testicles on his desk that is a man that will fire somebody... I would be surprised if Frank Reich lasted the entire season.

The Jacksonville Jaguars are on fraud watch

To be consistent, we have to say that if they lose this game [against the Niners], we have to call the Jaguars frauds... they haven't done anything to really earn that. It's just that they haven't played anybody. No, they're on fraud watch.

The Baltimore Ravens are the best team in football right now

I like the Ravens. I think that the Ravens are the best team in football right now. I would stake my reputation on that, which is pristine.

Will Levis will be an elite NFL quarterback

I've seen enough. Will Levis will be an elite quarterback.

The Dallas Cowboys will demolish the New York Giants

I actually think like the Cowboys minus 17 is too low because I just don't know the Cowboys defense. This is what the Cowboys do. They kick the shit outta teams like this. They're going to demolish the Giants.

Sam Howell is the future for the Washington Commanders

Sam Howell, regardless of what happens this weekend, I'm ready to say it. He's the guy.

Andrew Luck is the greatest football player of all time

I still think he's the greatest player of all time... He could do absolutely everything and would do anything for his teammates. Best leader. He was by far the best player on the field as a freshman.
