1978 Houston Oilers

[@afvet5075]

Earl Campbell was a class act and modest.

[@stevekyhos8358]

Now that's a football team! Beautiful memories of my childhood and the NFL of the 1970s! Luv ya blue!

[@mspionage1743]

Man the old AFC Central was just a perfect division.

[@williampaz2092]

“Bum” Phillips was an outstanding Head Coach! He built a First Rate Offensive Line and an Immovable Defense.

[@johnmcauliffe7487]

It was a great time to be an Oiler fan.

[@colmhain]

Damn sure was.

[@johncrumpler9950]

Boy those were the days love you Blue this is what football is all about hard-headed gutsy plays and determination to win

[@conlanding]

1978 was Bum Phillips 4th year as Oilers HC and at the time he had not taken the Oilers to the playoffs. This was the first year of the current 16 game regular season and an extra wild card team was added in both conferences.

[@Bigchet1223]

They were 10-4 in 1975 his first season. Didn't make playoffs because they lost all 4 games against the Steelers and the Bengals. And that was 3 years before they drafted Earl Campbell.

[@boomerpo]

gosh that was great times the Texans will never never replace this team

[@thomasdonlin5456]

I feel the same way.

[@texasrockshillcountry6574]

Have to, bud adams took them away.

Earl was such a bad-ass... Loved this time in the NFL.

[@gsrinterprizellc2851]

I love the Oilers

[@markleopard8960]

Back when men used to play football

[@thomasdonlin5456]

My sentiments exactly

[@brettshepherd5240]

That intro...nice...the first :23 seconds...OUTSTANDING

[@tyrondavis6727]

Check out those Country- Kentucky Fried style Columbia- Baby Light Blue and Southern Cherry Red Houston Oilers uniforms from 1978. Southern Hospitality , but sweet and cool uniforms, especially the Earl Campbell and Bum Philips era. But unfortunately, 40 years later, and I'm sorry i hate to say, they're now Tennessee Titans. Ooooouuuuucccccchhhhhh😤! But nevertheless I would like to say thank you for playing this NFL Video. RIP Bum Philips. It is quite obvious that the Oilers should to stay in Houston instead of moving to Tennessee in 1997. Thanks for playing anyway. This is the 1978 season to remember.

[@allensanto6627]

Earl, Bum, Gilley's and Urban Cowboy...all at once?😳😳The hip place of the USA at that time, that's for sure😏

[@thomasdonlin5456]

Mauck was my favorite Oiler back then.

[@bryanthomsen5551]

Dan Pastorini wore an Army flack vest to protect his broken ribs during the playoffs.

[@Nomas1]

Thanks for uploading! Luv Ya Blue!

12/17/2023 The Titans wore their Oiler unis. They got embarrassed. Vrabel attempted the Bum Phillips look. Vrabel is NO Bum Phillips. Vrabel isn’t worthy of scraping cow dung off Bum’s boots.

[@MiamiSouthPaw]

The narrator sounds like Ronald Reagan

[@GeorgiaKev]

Is this Ronald Reagan narrating??

[@MGAF688]

Close. It is Lyndon B. Johnson actually. Music was scored by Dwight Eisenhower.

[@davidvenn8267]

I thought the exact same thing! Sounds just like him

[@beetlejuice8431]

I was one of the best players

[@Bigchet1223]

Bum was too nice of a guy. Probably why never got to the super bowl. Bud Adam's was a terrible owner. Fired him right after a playoff loss to the raiders. Oilers had a good team, but pittsburgh stood in their way in 78 and 79. I don't see where trading away pastorini for Stabler who was past his prime added anything. Looking back I think bum was the best coach that franchise ever had.

[@Jetsea]

If they had gone all the way. They would've lost to Dallas.

[@JohnDoe-nj3vj]

In '78?

[@ecnumber1fan]

I don't know about that. Remember this game? kzbin.info/www/bejne/mnLOamWZqteohrM

[@67marlins81]

They would have kicked the cowgirls' asses, and Steeler fans like me would have cheered the Oilers on.

[@ronsmac]

You’re probably right. Dallas finished the season on a tremendous roll winning their last 8 games including the playoffs before the Super Bowl and only one game was competitive.

[@jawarapittman6889]

@@JohnDoe-nj3vj Yes, they would've. The difference would be the quarterback. Staubach was the superior QB. Pastorini was average at best.
