The Oilers were certainly talented team loaded with big names: Warren moon, bruce matthews, lorenzo white, mel gray, Haywood jeffries, curtis duncan, drew hill, ray childress, ernest givens, chris dishman, willie fuller, al smith. Im absolutely shocked teams like the oilers and bills never won a superbowl. Its a shame, they were exciting to watch
Still hurts deep inside my gut that we lost the oilers. My first football game ever was 88’. Oilers vs Colts. I was 6. My entire family loved the oilers. Unfortunately they’re all gone as well.
Makes me want to cry 😭 Houston oilers was scary good when playing oilers football ❤ greatest ever unstoppable Houston oilers Houston oilers for ever 💪❤️ number 1 dishMan the best ever 💪❤️ Go Houston oilers #1 love Tom Franklin on radio
As someone who grew up in Washington and whose dad was a die hard Redskins fan, I can tell you that the Oilers are the one team that a lot of fans around here did not want to play in the Super Bowl. The regular season match up that year was the only game all year that Mark Rypien did not throw a touchdown pass and Monk, Clark, and Sanders were held in check. If it wasn't for a shenked field goal at the end of the game, Houston would have won and who knows how different the season would have gone.
I am a Bills fan, but that 91 Oiler squad would have been a far better match against the Redskins in the Superbowl. 93 was their last chance, 91 was arguably their best chance. They had the defence to keep explosive teams like the Bills and Redskins in check and they had the offense to put lots of points on the board.
