... in how many of those years have the Browns been a better
team than the Steelers? 3? 4? That's pretty crazy to think about.
How can it be that one-sided over such a long stretch?
But kudos on your current run. I am actually kind of happy for
Cleveland, and I'm a Steelers fan! Doesn't make much sense,
but I guess I am happy to see long-suffering fans get a patch
of sunlight on their sidewalk after all these years. But trust me:
I won't feel happy for you for very long, if the Browns do indeed
remain competitive. You fans will make sure of it!
I thought that I would figure this out for you (by the way I am a Ravens fan):
1970 (1)
Browns 7-7
Steelers 5-9
1971 (2)
Browns 9-5
Steelers 6-8
1980 (3)
Browns 11-5
Steelers 9-7
1985 (4)
Browns 8-8
Steelers 7-9
1986 (5)
Browns 12-4
Steelers 6-10
1987 (6)
Browns 10-5
Steelers 8-7
1988 (7)
Browns 10-6
Steelers 5-11
1989 (8)
Browns 9-6-1
Steelers 9-7
1999
Ravens 8-8 (OK, I know that isn't the Browns)
Steelers 6-10
2000
Ravens 12-4 (You know you trolls say the Ravens are the Browns, but intelligent people from Cleveland and Baltimore know the truth)
Steelers 9-7
2003
Ravens 10-6
Steelers 6-10
2006
Ravens 13-3
Steelers 8-8
2007 (tie)
Steelers 10-6 (they did go to the playoffs, but they were no better than the Browns who didn't)
Browns 10-6
2009
Ravens 9-7 (but they went to the playoffs while the devil went down to Georgia)
Steelers 9-7
That is 8.5 times the Browns had a better record than the Steelers and the Browns do already have 8 professional football Championships. Before you use that lame excuse about there not being as many teams back then, wouldn't that mean that each of the teams would have better talent on it making it more difficult to win championships? Before you use the lame defensive and offensive schemes are more difficult today than they were back then, as all of you say about the Steelers steroid era SB Championships, but all of the teams were using the same rules and the D could do things legally withing the rules that are outlawed now. Wouldn't that also make it more difficult to win Championships back then?
