Championships vs Super Bowls

The Browns Board
25 7 695
  • This is a simple fact to live by. Prior to the 1967 NFL/AFL CHAMPIONSHIP aka Super Bowl 1, The NFL had their final games known as Championship game. Back in the late 40's and through out the 50's and mid 60's, the Browns were a dominating team, winning 8 championships. Since the final game of the season is now called the Super Bowl, many fans don't credit these past championships, well their wrong. The NFL championship game back then is equal to today's Super Bowl. Yes there were less games played way back then, but no matter how you look at it, The Cleveland Browns are NFL Champions, even if there hasn't been a trip to today's Super Bowl.

  • The Super Bowl is the "NFL Championship Game".   It is just that it has been given a catchy name for marketing purposes. And that did not happen until, I believe after like Super Bowl  4 or 5....they retroactively gave the name Super Bowl to the previous NFL/AFL Championship games.   There have been NFL Championship games.  AFL Championship Games.  AAFC Championship Games.   NFL/AFL Championship games. ....and prior to 1933...no Championship game. 

  • I'm a long time fan of the NFL, and the Super Bowl is what every team wants to reach every year. All you want is to be called NFL CHAMPIONS. Personally, I don't feel that the S B trophy should be named after anyone. This is also not a world championship. Its only national here in the U.S. We play for the NFL (National Football League) The WLAF was known as The WORLD League of American Football. Meaning the American teams played against other teams from other countries, Germany, Spain, London, Canada,  The title of Lombardi and World Champions should be removed from this trophy, an just keep it what it truly is, NFL CHAMPIONSHIP. And no coach should be labeled on this NFL trophy. The George Halas and Lamar Hunt trophies are different topics.

    Vince Lombardi was the superior NFL head coach, and he won the first two Super Bowls.

    Paul Brown, though, was the far more innovative head coach.

    He had a career record of 96-34-6 in the regular season. He went 9-1 in the postseason, leading the Green Bay Packers to the NFL Championship/Super Bowl in 1960, 1961, 1962, 1965, 1966 and 1967. They won the last five. 

    But please, feel free to continue.

    Lombardi didn't coach as many games because he died of cancer.

    And with that, this fucking waste of time is officially done.
