Hopefully @KRC can tell us our uniform colors. Light blue & Silver??

 

 

I like the music, but I have to wonder if you are not the ref/mod crossing behind the goalposts? Once a rule keeper…..

 

It’s OK, we won’t judge if this came from the family archives.

The Browns were one of a small handful of teams the NFL gave franchises too from the AAFC (All-American Football Conference) in ‘50. They then proceeded to tear up the Big League, going to 10 title games, showing yet again, the NFL didn’t have the market on marquee players even then.

Was the score 6-9 Browns?

Surprised how much they passed the ball.  Mostly screen passes and quick hitters over the middle, but outside of that it surprisingly resembled modern football.  Put on a tape of NBA basketball at the same time, and it doesn’t even look like the same game.  

That’s ‘Automatic Otto’ Graham @ QB. Again, when the NFL raided the AAFC, the Browns, Colts and Rams joined the League and everyone else was unemployed. The Browns -with Otto- tore up the NFL for the next decade!

Thanks, I had no idea "same old Bills" went back that far!

 

Crazy how much faster the game has become.  Today even Otto Graham would get yanked after a couple downs throwing that slow.
