    I'm still convinced that the Lombardi Sweep was one of the most beautiful sights these eyes have ever seen. 

    It didn't hurt those Packers teams that Paul Brown seemed adamant about giving Lombardi some phenomenal defensive talent. Brown gave away (off the top of my head) three HOF defensive players that would have helped the Browns immensely in the 60s.

    Henry Jordan and Willie Davis to the Packers, and he traded away Doug Atkins to the Bears. All Hall of Famers.

     OK sorry I thought you meant that you said that he sent three Hall of Famer’s to the Packers not just three altogether. And actually you have forgotten the fourth. D. I. C. K LeBeau

    That was my fault Gip, I should have worded that better. I didn't realize LeBeau was with the Browns too.

    All that defensive talent could have meant that the Browns would have been the preeminent dynasty of the 60s, and not the Packers. Good lord, a DLine of Davis, Jordan, best Browns DT, and Atkins would have terrorized the NFL.

    You never really know how trades -or- not making a trade will turn out until after the fact. Many examples throughout NFL history, Hershel Walker and America's team for one.

    They did all right without them in that era as They did appear in four NFL/NFC championship games. 1964,1965,1968,1969.
