THE BROWNS BOARD

Interesting Read.

It never got any better for Browns fans than it did on: Dec. 24, 1950

 

Cleveland’s first NFL season after four years dominating the AAFC ended as offensive tackle Lou “The Toe” Groza kicked a field goal in the final seconds to lift the Browns to a 30-28 victory over the L.A. Rams in the NFL championship game. The thrill of victory was compounded by the delicious joy of revenge: the Rams had played in Cleveland from 1937 to 1945 before abandoning the Mistake by the Lake for the sunshine of La-La Land. (Read a great contemporary report of that 1950 championship game here.)

 

1950? ok if you say so. I thught this year was pretty darn good for the Browns.

Question: Why take credit for a 7 team league domination in the AAFC?

 

Question: Why haven't the Browns been to a Super Bowl?

 

Leave it to one a**hole stooler fan to ruin a perfectly great post from a good steeler fan.

 

Question: Why are you a douchebag?

 

 

Thanks for the post, Freak - it's a good, honest read.

That was an interesting read and my only quibble is that the Raiders should not be ahead of the Browns and Steelers. It's nice to see someone using the entire perspective of NFL History instead of using a recent filter.

Hey that was a great post Freak......really good

 

I thought some names needed added to some of the teams. Only six teams never reached the Super Bowl which now represents more than half of the years of the NFL. Those teams are Arizona, New Orleans, Houston(only ten years in the league), Jacksonville only(13 years in the league) the Lions and the Browns. All of these teams got low ratings except the Browns.

 

If I had to rate the teams I would have New England in the top eight with Dallas, Pittsburgh and SF the top three followed by the Packers and Giants and Bears in that order. Denver would be seven because they have been in six Super Bowls and long time winning teams, NE eight, the Redskins move to nine or ten and Oakland to 10 or 11..........followed by Miami and Buffalo in the top fifteen........the Browns would middle of the pack as would the Rams.

 

I find it hard to give equal weighting to winning more sixty years ago when there were 8 to 12 teams in the NFL........I rate the Giants and Bears and Packers in the top six because of long time success in both venues.

 

But again it is a good read and great info on the NFL
