Of course DEN and maybe the NYG and PHI ?
GO BUCKEYES, BROWNS, INDIANS, CAVS, YSU, NAVY and yes I like ND! -

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*.
Oh please EOM.

Folded is the wrong term... As I said, the leagues merged. If the AAFC had "folded" then there would not have been 3-4 teams from it that went into the NFL.
Here is the same source: Wikipedia:
Merger[edit]
On December 9, 1949, two days before the AAFC title game, the two leagues made peace. Three AAFC teams were admitted to the NFL: the Browns, 49ers, and Colts. The Dons merged with the Rams,[28] while the Bills, Yankees and Hornets folded. The enlarged league was renamed the National–American Football League.
The Browns and 49ers, as the AAFC's two strongest teams, were obvious choices: San Francisco was also a natural fit as a geographic rival to the Rams, who were alone on the West Coast at the time.
The third choice was the subject of some debate.
There was some sentiment to admit the Bills rather than the Colts. The Bills had better attendance despite only making the playoffs twice, and had much wealthier ownership. However, Buffalo's size (only Green Bay was smaller) and climate were seen as problems.[29] While Redskins owner George Preston Marshall had long objected to the Colts' proximity to Washington, he ultimately decided that the Colts would be a natural rival to the Redskins. He agreed to accept a $150,000 fee to waive his territorial rights.[2]
Buffalo fans petitioned the NFL to admit the Bills as well.[30][31] The league, realizing the pitfalls of having an uneven 13-team league, held a vote on admitting the Bills. While a majority of owners (including the Browns, 49ers and Colts) were willing to take the Bills, the final vote was only 9–4 in favor. League rules of the time required a unanimous vote to admit a new team. Buffalo owner Jim Breuil was content to accept a minority share of the Browns. Breuil even rebuffed an offer from the next-best pro league in the nation at the time, the minor-league American Football League of the late 1940s, to join their league.
The Yankees' players were divided between the Giants (who chose six players) and Bulldogs (who received the rest). Three Bills players were awarded to the Browns. The remaining Bills, Dons, and Hornets entered a dispersal draft.
With the AAFC Yankees gone, Bulldogs owner Ted Collins was free to rename his team "Yanks" and move into Yankee Stadium. He continued to lose money, however, and sold the team after two seasons to Dallas-based interests, who relocated the team to Dallas and called the team the Dallas Texans.[32]
The word "American" did not remain in the enlarged league's name for long; it was dropped in March 1950. Although "National" and "American" became the names of the league's new conferences, within three years the conferences were renamed Eastern and Western. It was not until the AFL–NFL merger twenty years later that the "American" and "National" conference names were restored.
