Oilers had one of the coolest logos in sports. I know Houston has an NFL team now but they should've brought them back as the Oilers.

[@garysmith548]

Ash Rogers Not only did Bud Adams stick it to his hometown by moving to Nashville, he also took the name and everything else “Oilers” related with him... Despite renaming the team in the teams second or third year in Tennessee, he still owned the trademark and copyrights for the Oilers and made it clear that he wouldn’t relinquish it to the new Houston expansion team... So basically he held a grudge against the city of Houston for not building the new stadium he wanted

Joe Montana is the greatest QB of all-time. Won 4 rings in 4 tries (2 before Rice) while having top 5 and 10 stats all-time. In the hardest era of football in terms of physicality with much lesser rules to favor the QB. Nobody else won 4 out of 4 Super Bowls with his all-time placing in stats or 5 out of 5 championships. Montana is the greatest. Did well outside of San Francisco too with a different coaching staff and player personnel. Don't confuse who you like more over who's greater. Montana is still the best.

That was awesome. I'll always point to it as the reason why he's the greatest QB of all time because he replicated the same kind of drive against the Bengals in SB23 . But unlike that game, he had half the amount of time left to do so (1:29 as opposed to 3:10 in SB23) while playing on a team without all the great weapons he had offesively and it was against a much more talented and tough opponent HOF QB John Elway and the broncos. John probably was still pissed about that 55-10 blowout in SB 24 and wanted to make sure that it wouldn't ever happen, especially at mile high. And it was close but the GOAT was the victor that night.

The sad reality is the Oilers went up against 2 Hall of Fame QB's in the playoffs (Elway and Montana) that were as good as it gets when it comes to bringing their teams back late in the game. Bud Adams showed bad timing asking for a new stadium when the team had blown those playoff games and not preparing for the Salary Cap to retain at least some All Pro players. Hiring Jeff Fisher proved to be a mistake simply because he was mediocre at best. Bud Adams should have showed more patience with Pardee and the City of Houston .he would have gotten his stadium once the Oilers proved they can win and go deep in the playoffs I call this era for the team THE DOWNFALL The franchise will never again be this good or talented like the late 80's or early 90's Oilers

Blue Skeptic System QB - yeah right ... if you mean a master of 3 extremely different systems in his career; then yes. P/E ‘00 -‘06, run and shoot ‘07 - ‘09, and sophisticated P/E from ‘01 - ‘18!!! Also, look at salary cap allocations for offense vs defense, especially during his 1st dynasty! 70/30 in favor of defense - not built for statistics but maybe more clutch than he even is today. Also, how he eats, trains, and takes care of his body has made a mastery of the years in which Montana would have been retired because he was too beat up to play. Still no decline from Brady at 40-41, in fact, only better! As for Matt Cassel ... that’s the biggest bunch of bunk talked about of all time. Cassel sucked, even on the team that previously went 18-1. He took the same exact team to 11-5 and of the 5 - not 1 was a playoff team that year. It’s also the only the time the team missed the playoffs (today including) since 2002! In the years Brady has played in his career, he’s reached the Super Bowl 50% of the time ... or simply, every other year. That’s ridiculous. I’m not hating on Joe. Being a Patriots fan I still to this day I humbly say Joe was the best. I’ve seen them both play their entire careers and as a young guy always said I just hope one day the Patriots can get a quarterback like Joe.

That loss wasnt on Marty Schottenheimer. Only coach in NFL history to get fired after a 14-2 season. It was because he wouldn't kiss the Spanos family's ass or GM AJ Smith's ass.

[@ccl5853]

Started 1-4, reeled off 11 in a row, unexpectedly, to go 12-4. Like the best record in franchise history to my knowledge. Overcame the tragic death of Jeff Alm during the season. Set up probably the most anticipated playoff expectations and still lost, at home, one win away from the ACF championship game. This one hurt and was never recovered from. the 99 titans superbowl loss to the rams, I did not know how to feel about that. 5 months later the Houston Rockets helped us forget about all that. Until then, we were as a city thoroughly convinced that our sports history, dating back to the sixties, was cursed. The Rockets too put together a string of playoff seasons around the same time period like the oilers did (86/87 - 93) with much underwhelming results (86 finals not withstanding).

I absolutely loved those Oilers uniforms! Something about the uniforms, the run and shoot and the Astro Dome seemed to fit perfectly. When I heard they were moving to Tennessee I was sad simply as a football fan. I didn't like the Raiders or Rams leaving LA at that time either. The Raiders had developed such an identity in LA to go back to Oakland at that point was crazy imo. The Coliseum's 90k seats, NFL TV blackout rules and Al Davis hating the NFL league office ultimately led to the move. The late 80's, early 90's Oilers were a really fun team to watch but as has been well documented, couldn't win in the playoffs. The Eagles were very similar in terms of doing the least with most in the NFC during this era.

[@chrisuncleahmad]

One subplot about this game nobody talks about: it was one of the last NFL games before the institution of the 2PC After KC went up 21-13 on that crazy Willie Davis TD catch, Houston got a touchdown but had to kick the extra point instead of a chance to tie the game up Heck if they still kick the extra point, after Marcus Allen’s TD at 28-20 the game wouldn’t have been over yet

[@tomservo5347]

I remember hearing on the local KC news about how Houston had boycotted 'KC Masterpiece' BBQ sauce that week. I listened back then to Len Dawson and Kevin Harlan on the radio announce the game and they kept playing this silly song inside the dome that made Len Dawson state "it makes me want to do something I can't say on the radio" LOL. I also remember the Keith Cash (a great player) spiking the ball into that ridiculous Buddy Ryan poster in the end zone. Good times-but it was always Buffalo, Schottenheimer's awful important game choke sessions, and getting rid of Nick Lowery, one of the best kickers in the NFL the next year that sealed our fate in the 'kicker that shall not be named' game against the Colts that we should have dominated.

That game that finally convinced the NFL that the 2-point conversion wasn't a "silly college rule." You have a HOF quarterback down 8 points but totally out of it in the final minutes. And no instant replay during this era. The NFL has had some backwards times. The game has improved a lot

[@chasetullar2732]

Although it has improved a lot it went soft and I think disrespected the greats from before like Tom Brady playing in 20 seasons vs Joe Montana 13 seasons where he was the starter longevity wasn’t a thing back then and now it is so now Tom Brady is better because he has a great longevity but a worse prime than Montana it’s so disrespectful to the players of the past that didn’t get the opportunity for longevity due to a tough league.

Too bad about the Oilers; so talented, but could never finish.

[@comfortat]

Hard to believe the Oilers had a 10-0 lead, then had the ball near midfield with almost 2 minutes to go in the first half... TWO Moon fumbles to close out the half kept them from putting this game away. What a waste of talent to squander this opportunity. Then, up 10-7 and moving the ball methodically near the end of the 3rd Q, Moon throws a horrible INT. Under no pressure, he just heaved one up for grabs. BUT, the defense held, and the Oilers get the ball at midfield, and KC used its last timeout. Have no fear, though, Chiefs fans, Warren Moon will hand you the game. On successive plays, he fumbles, threw an incompletion, then has to call a TO, then completes a pass that is way short of a 1st down. Punt. That's FOUR straight possessions that Moon makes terrible play after terrible play, including 3 turnovers. Montana takes over at his own FIVE, throws an INT at the 24. Moon to the rescue! Surely he can lead them 24 yards for a TD... HELL NO. He gets sacked, but they salvage a FG to make it 13-7. FIVE straight possessions, good field position on every one of them, and Moon manages one measly FG. That folks, is why they lost the game. Moon got outplayed by a older QB who was struggling to even take the field. I'd like to know if they blew more double digit leads in the playoffs than any other team in history. They were up 24-13 against Denver, 35-3 against Buffalo, and this game 10-0. Three straight years, they had a playoff game in control, only to completely unravel. That's the reason I disagreed with Moon's induction into the PFHOF. Truly great QBs are LEADERS, and they don't let their teams blow big leads. Time after time after time, Moon could never put the dagger into a team when the Oilers had them on the ropes. The Hall of Fame is for players who were champions, especially when it comes to QBs. Warren Moon is Tony Romo. Neither one belongs in the Hall.
