The Kardiac Kids were very good regular season teams, but not strong enough on defense to be a serious Super Bowl Contender, losing in playoffs in 1980 to better, stronger teams, that we're more balance and better on defense.

The Sam Rutigliano Browns were called the Kardiac Kids for very good reasons, because they were behind a lot. Perhaps in half of the wins that they had from 1978-80. In 1978 and 79, they were 9-7 both seasons, barely missing the AFC Playoffs.
We're not talking about great football teams here, but teams that were good enough to play well and be competitive with great football teams like the Pittsburgh Steelers (they're arch-rival) and the Oakland Raiders. But the Browns weren't better than the elite teams, at least not in the AFC, during that era.
