1989 Browns vs. 1994 Browns
Posted: Wed Jul 20, 2016 4:50 am
The last original Browns teams that made meaningful postseason impact and were taken seriously by many after Thanksgiving.
I know one team got farther than the other, but I always felt the '94 team was a lot lot better and the AFC was better in 1994 than 1989 ('89 Bills/Oilers/Steelers not exactly the '94 Steelers/Chargers/Dolphins).
Hell, the '89 Browns are STILL the only team since the AFL merger to get a first-round bye with less than 10 wins.
'94 Browns did have the #1 scoring defense (led by of all people Nick Saban). '89 Browns had some players regress from past years, yet still had enough to win the games they won and get where they got to in the postseason, squeezing out one last run for that era.
'89 team had more decent wins (HOU twice, Denver, Vikings, Bears on a MNF when they still had a winning record). '94 team had only 1 standout win, but it was a doozy- Dallas at Dallas on one of those classic December nat. televised Saturday games.
Which of these teams did you like more?
