But if my life depended on the result of one football game, I'd go with Lombardi as head coach.
I'm not so sure...he certainly had more talent across the roster...and Bart Starr running the offense on the field.

I think the offenses were comparable. The Browns had some serious talent on the offensive side.
And like I said, the Browns defense would have been better if Brown hadn't traded away three HOF defensive linemen.
Frank Ryan wasn't a slouch in comparison to Starr either. I think if Ryan played for Lombardi during the same era, the results for the Packers would have been similar. In a lot of ways they were comparable, both very cerebral QBs with good arms.

I remember watching Browns / Packers games in the 60's and I always felt that they were just too dang good for us. Starr, Boyd Dowler, Carol Dayle, Paul Horning, Jim Taylor, etc. And they had a pretty good OLine of their own. And that Ray Nitschke was a genuine PITA to us.

Well, we had Jim Brown, Bobby Mitchell, Gary Collins, eventually adding Paul Warfield and a pretty stout OLine too, lead by Gene Hickerson.

Yup. Those were the good ol' days. (Ernie Green more than Mitchell...and don't forget Milt Moran) But we could never beat those dang Packers. Between 1957 and 1979 we beat 'em once. Back in those days the QB's ran the offense and called the plays. Paul Brown however, would send in plays from time to time with his 'Messenger Guards'. Of course now no QB's call plays. The HC's are much more involved in the game play now than they ever were back in Lombardi's days.

...and the spoils go to the winners...but one could argue that on top of his NFL Championships Paul Brown was an innovator with such things as his shuttling plays into the QB, his emphasis on the draft as well as face masks. Of course when naming the trophy Brown's AAFC titles were scoffed at.
I'll never debate that - Paul Brown basically was the father of modern football and his influence IMO was greater than Lombardi's.

Counter-point: if you needed a Kevorkian-like ending, I'd go with Pat (un)Shurmer?

It's a good argument you have Dutch; but THANK GOD that annoying Packer fan isn't here to see any of this. If he re-surfaces - can you do me a favor and tell him the medication your doctor prescribed was making you hallucinate on July 30th?

Oh man, I totally forgot about that asshat.

Do you think he's ever had a worse nightmare than watching Cleveland come from behind to beat his team in the closing seconds last year? He's gotta live with the memory of a 5-12 Cleveland Browns team he frequently made fun of being just good enough to beat his pretenders.

That guy was such an asshole...
I'm shocked he wasn't a close friend of the admin.

I imagine he's in the crowd that's intimidated by a 150 lb boogey man like Dr Fauci. The visual of grown men in terror sleeping with the lights on because of him is as outrageous as it is hilarious.
I wouldn't have put anything political here but the only recent attempt I've made to post on the political board got deleted immediately; so I'll place my 1 or 2 annual political posts (if that) here for now. I edited it way down so I don't cause any further panic attacks for the Barney Fife in charge living the dream.

I hear if a movie is to be made about the Og Paul Brown that Jeff Bridges or Al Pacino would play Coach Brown , while Curley from the 3 stooges would play lombardi

Having an Italian like Al Pacino playing Paul Brown makes as much sense as anything you've spewed on this topic every three times a year you bring it up, I suppose.

You 2 guys aren't in the same huddle any more but it's only training camp. Speaking of which, are you guys gonna go tag-team again on the countdown to opening day? If either one of yuz has a vacation or long weekend - I could chip in and help. Sometimes I really feel the sting of the absence of MJP; especially the summer months leading up to training camp but moreso all year round.

I went to Youngstown recently, and almost automatically it made me think of mjp.
The board was a better place with him here, for sure.
