    in 2007 the Browns went 10-6 with Romeo & still missed the playoffs....has this ever happened to any other team since 2007?

    Sure did. 

    They really need to put cameras on the uprights. If they review all the other stuff, why not?

    Browns were the best in the NFL that season, and the next one. Nothing to show for it but heartache.

    did you ever see the old espn 30 for 30 on that Karlis miss? They even showed a bogus graph lined chart to prove that it was made...

    Opps! we did not want to show the ball with the lines as it passed left of the post directly over it ?... that's the bogus junk i refuse to watch.. it might be youtube-able?

    It has happened more often than you think, all of the following teams missed playoffs with a 10-6 or better record since 2007:

    Patriots 2008

    Giants 2010

    Buc  2010

    Bears 2012

    Cardinals 2013

    Eagles 2014

    Jets 2015

    No need... can electronically extend the uprights with same tech used for tennis boundaries and baseball strike zones.

    As for watching the Drive again? No thanks...

    Ditto the Fumble...

    Ditto Red Right 88...

    Ditto a couple Game 7s...

    Woa, woa, woa. I maybe could buy best in AFC, but best in NFL? Need I remind you that the '86 Giants and '87 Skins went on to completely obliterate the Broncos in the Super Bowls those years, and the Browns couldn't even beat the Broncos. Both the Giants and Skins those years would destroy ANY AFC teams at the time. The NFC East reigned supreme in those days. 

    Also, in hindsight, do you think the Browns would have won those game against Broncos if Marty opened up the offense a little more? Looking back, they didn't give Bernie enough shots down the field. Too many 2-3 yard rushing plays.

    Maybe.  I would have liked to have seen the Browns have a chance at them.

    Bingo. That was Marty's problem, he played too close to the best in the playoffs. 

    Looking back, if it wasn't for Gastineau's personal foul, the Browns would have lost to the Jets.

    Despite all that, I still believe the Browns were better than the NY Giants. Jeff Hostetler had a career game vs Denver in that SB. 

    The Skins? Remember, it was Doug Williams and not Rypien. You're correct that at that time, the NFC was blasting the AFC in SBs, but IMHO, all the Browns lacked was an above average pass rush. I can't buy the Browns getting blasted in 2 straight SBs.
