Wow, no offense but math must not be your strong point. The "only" way to create a true comparison, under differing circumstances, is percentage. Read up on statistical analysis. I realize you are trying to eliminate playoff numbers because they don't favor the Browns but come on.Your imagination regarding the three missing years is tainted as well, if you took the typical winning percentage (let's say .400) of the Browns prior to the departure and carried it over the three years it would continue to dilute the overall winning percentage influenced by their 5-year run in the 80's, thereby lowering their overall winning percentage.
Good discussion though as you, at least, are refraining from ancestral insults
As far as picking a fight, it's like this.......The average human being would have a hard time tearing themselves away from a someone standing on a Cleveland street corner preaching that lake Erie isn't really there it's just that everybody else is just looking at it wrong.
They don't favor most of the teams. And even when comparing differing circumstance, you set guidelines for minimum numbers. Hence why stat comparisons will be based on minimum numbers, set survey amounts, etc. Where the goal is to get things equal before drawing out a percentage to infer from.
Of course you can compare anything with percentages, but how realistic and accurate are they when you start comparing %'s where the numbers used have a huge variance (and again, I have noted it applies to all the teams, not just the Browns, so drop the stuff about favor/non-favor of the Browns). No offense, but it might be you who needw to read up on statistical analysis. Because you obviously fail account for some key things in it. It is a mathematical science pertaining to the collection, analysis, interpretation or explanation, and presentation of data. If math is your strong suit, you'd understand how skewed a percentage gets when the data used to form it varies for each percentage you are comparing.
But see, right there you are trying to use data that is older to form a typical winning percentage. But in reality you'd use the recent trend. And again, from what I was saying, you know what that teams numbers would have been. They are right there as BALT.
On the fight, you still miss the fact that you have even brought up how either team has done over a 40 year period in a thread about lack of class being shown in a rape case. No one was in here saying the Browns have been a better team on the field. So throwing out a changed discussion in this thread is pretty much nothing but trying to pick a fight. There are 100's of other threads filled with this type of stuff, yet you chose a thread about Steelers fans calling and threatening a women who has accused the teams QB of rape?

You're in our house and you're a fan of the Steelers, a hated team like none other in Cleveland. Most of us say shit to you because we know it will fire you up, yet you take it so seriously.
That's pretty dumb.

Though I haven't waded through much of this thread, there appears to be some discussion about comparing various NFL teams statistically, and whether or not post season play should be included in a statistical comparison.
I can tell you my view:
1. You do not mix apples and oranges. Statistics for regular season and post season are not combined. Post season stats sit separate and apart from regular season stats. All legit statistical organizations I have seen do this. They may list both, but they don't really combine them. Example Take Team X. Team Xs regular season record all time is A wins and B losses, and C wins and D losses in post season play. They don't take postseason records into play when looking at individual player stats in sports, except perhaps as a separate measurement. The yards listed gained by Emmit Smith in his career record only include regular season records. Any yards gained by him in postseason are a separate category. Barry Bonds or Hank Aaron's home run record are only for regular season games, not for postseason.
2. When looking at organizations you look at them from the inception of the organization. If that is the Bears or the Cardinals you take their stats from the year 1920 onward. For the Steelers say, you take from 1933 onward. For the Browns, from 1946 onward. There is no segmenting of eras. You don't take the last 40-30-20-10 years or just since ESPN started broadcasting (ESPN likes to do that a lot...they sometimes think sports wasn't invented until they hit the airways). If you are not all inclusive, you can split hairs ad infinitum. Should we start from the beginning of a new Millenium? From the beginning of the Age of Aquarius? No.
Face it, to me, the only titles here today that have any significance are the last one and the next one. The rest, whether they are from 1927 or from 2007 are just history. (and by the way, The New York Giants were champions of pro football both years. The one in 2007 still just counts as 1, same as 1927).

Maddox dealing with off-the-field abuse

The abuse did not end for Steelers quarterback Tommy Maddox when he walked off of Heinz Field after the Jacksonville game Sunday. It carried over into his personal life.
And, it could lead to his exit from the Steelers after the season, according to his agent.
A handful of ill-advised fans took it upon themselves to throw objects into the yard of Maddox's suburban home, an obvious reaction to a performance that saw Maddox turn the ball over four times, including twice in overtime, in a 23-17 loss to the Jaguars.
----ok......classy.....

Fans blitz woman in Ben crash

The Squirrel Hill woman accused of causing the motorcycle crash that injured Steelers quarterback Big Gay Ben has been hammered by angry fans since the wreck.
Martha Fleishman, 62, who was cited for failing to yield the right of way to Rapelisberger's motorcycle near the Armstrong Tunnel, has received harassing telephone calls, city police said Monday. She also has been the target of vicious Internet attacks.
Rapelisberger, 24, who was cited for driving without a motorcycle license, spent nearly three days at Mercy Hospital after the June 12 crash, which drew international attention because of his Super Bowl-generated fame and his refusal to wear a helmet.
----even when Big Gay Ben was in the wrong, you got even classier....

MINDEN, Nev. (AP)âThe woman who has accused Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Big Gay Ben(notes) of raping her at a Lake Tahoe hotel-casino where she worked told authorities she has received dozens of threatening and harassing phone calls.
In a police report filed with the Douglas County Sheriffâs Department, the 31-year-old woman said she has received âwell over 100â annoying messages since she filed a civil suit against the football star on July 17 in Washoe District Court in Reno.
The woman said people have left phone messages calling her a âwhoreâ and threatening that âsomethingâs going to happenâ if she did not drop the lawsuit, according to the police report filed July 30.

First off, nobody knows if Ben is guilty or not of rape. You are all just assuming he is because you hate him and cant stand the guy since he has been the kicking Browns ass for the last 5 seasons. If you're going to look at this objectively which I know is very hard for Browns fans to do you had to figure that Ben is well liked by football and Steeler fans and some fans would do dumb stuff like this...
I do not know what happened (if anything) in that room. Only Ben and McNulty know what really happened and this whole incident is going to turn out ugly, regardless if Ben did or did not do anything. And if by some chance this women did lie about Ben raping her then she deserves this shit as far as Im concerned. If she indeed is the one lying did she honestly think she wasn't going to get this type of harassment? She couldn't have been that stupid or naive now could she...

I bring a little hilarity to the discussion and you go stupid? I am not going to spend 8 minutes watching something I have seen many times before. Don't you have something humorous to add?
And what makes you think the Steelers are at all relevant to this very day?

Silverback....don't try to make sense of it, it simply isn't normal. I wondered if the fans of the other teams who have struggled like the Browns, since the merger, were bitter and hateful like they are so I looked at a couple of message boards for the Lions, Saints, Cardinals, Falcons, Jets, and Bengals and other than the Bengals none of them show this hostility toward their nemesis. The one real difference is that the Browns were once great, the best of the best, and maybe today's Browns fans can't accept the reality of how long ago it was and how bad the franchise has been for nearly forty years. The other possibility is that those other teams haven't seen their former bitch (The Steelers) rise to become the greatest franchise in all of sports........that has to hurt!Don't get me wrong, if you go to any of those other boards you will see a healthy hate for their arch rivals but nothing like the obsession you see here for the Steelers.....but again, none of those fan bases have to watch their hated rival dominate not only their team but the entire league like these guys do. In the divisions that those other teams live in the other three teams take turns winning the division, but then fall short in the playoffs (except the Patriots of late), in the Browns division it's always the Steelers.....best single season team ever, best franchise in all of sports, more Super Bowl wins than anyone, winningest team in the NFL since the merger, etc., etc., etc.......I guess maybe it's simply too much to handle.
LOL....we're the obsessed ones? Which team's forum are you on? Which team's forum do you and your "classy" brethren constantly visit to brag and belittle? And we're the obsessed ones? I think if you want the true definition of obsessed you and your "classy" brethren need to look in the mirror first.

If there was NO Thread there would be Little to NO response from us. Obsession ?? Yes there is an Obsession... but we are not Obsessed with your underachieving Squad from Americas North Coast. We spend (at least I do ) 10 times more time on Our Boards. I just stop by once a day or so to see what the Topics are. And am AMAZED at the BS I see flying around here as if it were Gospel truth. Sad Sad sad.... And we have to be threatened to be Banned because we speak up ?? Now there is a Set of BALLS !!! Sack up and hear Both sides clearly. Not downing the Browns , as I said I respect the Organization and it History. We were at the feet of the Browns for a LONG Time , and Now that we are not we have to hear a bunch of fabricated BS ?? Just Respect and YOU will in return Gain Respect. And dont judge us all because we have some azz Wipe Rouge fans

You mean the same Hines Ward that is the all-time leading receiver in Steelers history and has broken every Steelers receiving record, and former Super Bowl MVP, and a future hall of famer?? Braylon Edwards couldnt carry Hines Ward's xxxxing shoulder pads. I didnt know you were a doctor and actually got to test some of the current Steelers to prove they are on roids. You probably liked seeing all of the players with their clothes off come to think of it....
