Oh Jesus I was going through the list in my head and forgot to write Denver! ?
I went and looked up the rest out of curiousity... I'll play Gipper and say that Denver and the NY Giants are correct (Browns played the NY Giants in a playoff game in 1950, won 8-3 and then beat the LA Rams 30-28 to win their first NFL Title. They lost to the NY Giants in 1958 in a playoff game, the GIants would lose 'The Greatest Game Ever' against the Baltimore Colts the next week). The Browns have never played the Philadelphia Eagles in the playoffs.

Cleveland doesn't exactly have a long postseason playoff record especially in the last 30 or so years.

Yea, well, Dutch can tell you, having looked it up, that you got to go back a lot further than that to get the last answer.
In fact, hint: the last team is now defunct.

I follow the NFL in fact besides you I don't know anyone who follows the very short lived and long defunct AAFC or whatever it's called......or even the defunct XFL.
The BROWNS playoff history is basically in the 1950s and 1980s and not a whole lot more than that. They have been a poorly run team for the past 30 years or so. Just sayin'..... without looking it up.
GO BROWNS, just win again.

OK, well, that is like ignoring the true full history of things. Its like saying "I don't follow any American history before the Civil War".
And maybe you should check out what the Browns did in the playoffs in the 1960s as well.

Two completely different things and not a good comparison.
We know that there was a post WWII football league that quickly folded and that the city of Cleveland was involved before joining the now 100 year old and only surviving and successful professional football league and everything that happened in Cleveland after that.
What happened from 1946-1949 with the AAFC is largely just a footnote in history, an insignificant blip in the history of football. The main and enduring part is the only surviving part of football left is the National Football League...... about to be tested with all sports and more this year.

It is a perfectly apt comparison. It is someone dismissing the entire origins of an entity. That is very Steeler fan thinking on your part...how embarassing for you.
Besides, you are wrong, the AAFC did not fold, it merged into the NFL. In fact, the league was thereafter call the National-American Football League for a (short) period. Not only did the leagues merge, some teams merged. The LA Dons and LA Rams merged. And actually the Buffalo Bills merged into the Browns fyi.
Those teams that came into the NFL from the AAFC in fact have won at least 13 NFL Championships in the years since. Also, while the name National-American Football League name did not endure, they did rename the conferences in the NFL to National and American....a tradition upheld to this day after the later merger.

The last thing in the world I want to do is get into a bs discussion about the folded and defunct AAFC.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/All-America_Football_Conference
The All-America Football Conference (AAFC) was a professional American football league that challenged the established National Football League (NFL) from 1946 to 1949. One of the NFL's most formidable challengers, the AAFC attracted many of the nation's best players, and introduced many lasting innovations to the game. However, the AAFC was ultimately unable to sustain itself in competition with the NFL. After its folding, three of its teams were admitted to the NFL: the San Francisco 49ers, the Cleveland Browns and the original Baltimore Colts (not to be confused with the later Baltimore Colts team, now the Indianapolis Colts).
It was unable to sustain itself, failed, folded, disappeared, it's defunct, gone, *poof*.
