:-) The Browns do not deserve to be in that discussion....AT ALL. You may not watch football for quite awhile after Sunday... [Reply]
Noon of that has anything to do with Watkins said. All Watkins was saying was the the game wasn't over. It was the FIRST quarter, for fuck's sake. [Reply]

This is how you know Carr is not the answer. If you're really a top-10 QB, and your two best weapons are Ruggs and Waller, followed by Jacobs and Renfrow, there's not way you don't score at least 28 points/game. Against everybody.
Carr played two of the best games of his career vs. KC this season, essentially perfect, flawless games, far beyond his average. And still lost the second. The rest of the season he basically played like he was Kirk Cousins. Or worse.
But basically the recipe is yeah, you have to have a good run game, to keep the LBs close and slow down the rush, a true deep threat to take our safeties out of the middle/intermediate areas, and a great TE/slot to pick up the change along the edges in the intermediate range. And outstanding QB play to orchestrate all of that.
Every team that has beaten the Chiefs since the beginning of last season has had some version of this combination.
And every team that has not had outstanding QB play, but basically everything else, has lost to KC. [Reply]
I'm not sure if we should expect one of those games like Carolina tried, where they do all kinds of crazy things to try to tilt the odds in their favor, to randomize the game because they don't like their chances. It seems like this has the same effect as trying to milk the clock and control the ball, you end up with one of these Marty type games where even if it goes well, a late mistake will kill you.
The way to beat a good team without a glaring weakness like the Chiefs is that you have to stand toe to toe and play better in all phases for 60 minutes. Trickery and gimmicks aren't going to work. Relying on them shows you don't think you can beat them for 60 minutes. The Browns shouldn't fall into that trap where they come out with a mindset that they are already behind when the coin is flipped. [Reply]

Maybe they’re just being cautious since it is only Wednesday.
What a fucking joke. This clown wants to take cheap shots on Twitter yet can't be bothered to suit up and practice because of a strained calf?!? [Reply]

Yep, good teams like the Ravens do that every time they play the Chiefs and they always end up leaving points behind because of it. [Reply]
