Iconic Era Ends! (Chiefs vs. Oilers 1993 AFC Divisional) 

Yeah I'm sitting here like go for 2!!!! It's a no brainer!!! Then a few minutes later I realized that wasn't even a possibility at that point lol

Nice info brotha!

@Sean S. because it was 55 seconds to go and they were down two possessions, even Moon and the Oilers pretty much knew the game was over even if they scored a TD, they'd still need to onside kick it too and hope for a miracle. At that point I'm pretty sure all the energy was sucked out of the team at that point

@Sean S. they didn't have two point conversions back then. That was actually implemented at the end of that season for that very reason

@@TBL2749 when it comes to on side kicks back then, there were worse kickers than Del Greco to have. The Oilers were pretty good at recovering them back then as few times as they attempted them.

Kevin Sica time traveler

Kevin Sica buffalo had won the afc title the last 3 seasons and people were tired of them and didn’t want them to be in there again. Buffalo’s motto that year was “let’s piss them off and make another super bowl” With this game being in Houston, Oilers fans weren’t far removed from remembering Houston blowing a 35-3 lead in Buffalo.

That’s because they got shit on in the greatest comeback on pro football- a game I was lucky enough to attend

Maniac Masturbator nobody wanted to see them in Super Bowl because they knew they were gonna inevitably lose. It’s like watching Warriors vs Cavs in the NBA Finals over and over agin

Ravens and Steelers always did too Bal- Reed, Lewis, Ogden, Suggs Pitt- Polomalu, James Harrison, ward, Big Ben

Michael Koh, 6, Mike Munchak for Houston too

Will Shields played for the Chiefs too

@@lmgyungjodie6720 Big ben isnt a hof

Lampros Merkourakis he is actually was already announced a future HOFer

I remember that too. This was only a couple of weeks after Buddy Ryan had thrown that infamous punch at his offensive coordinator, Kevin Gilbride. I suppose the lingering drama over that had something to do with why the Oilers were not able to close the deal that season and ended up sputtering at home against an underdog foe.

yeah haha me too is why im here

Does that make Andy Reid a God in KC?

@@josephvanhorn5347 pretty much

Astrodome was nicknamed "The House of Pain".

Yeah, literally carpet panels. You can see one lift up at midfield

@@MarloSoBalJr Agreed. Also like falling on concrete.

I was able to go onto the field at The Dome in 97 after an ASTROS GAME and that turf was thin and cement undeneath it was brutal these motherfuckers now days couldnt survive in this era of the NFL thats not an opinion thats a fact

@@rogerpedactor1622 And it's also a fact that even though the NFL is softer nowadays, you wouldnt last a minute on the field.

Amazing memories from the past.

Blame the racist nfl scouts that don't want him to play QB but something else

thenewjord50 liberals think everything is racist don’t they?

@@bakaron7842 weeeeell in this case it's kinda true. There were a lot of black athletes of course, but at the time many teams were reluctant to have a black QB. The QB position was seen as more of a white athletes positions. Before Willie Lanier, LT, etc. the MLB position was kinda the same way. It wasn't until QBs like Warren Moon, Doug Williams, and Randall Cunningham where it started to become more accepted. I'm pretty sure if Warren Moon was white coming out of college, he would've been drafted INTO the NFL most likely. Nowadays it's different of course, considering every team is willing to draft any kind of QB no matter the race, but it's pretty clear back in Warren's time in college it wasn't the same. Don't really have to be a liberal or Democrat to understand that. Lol

Tyler G I am. And I’m smarter than liberals who are older than 15 too.

@@bakaron7842 stfu kid

I saw this game live, I was devastated that we loss.

That was a season of turmoil all season for the Oilers. Starting with the 1-4 start. Then Warren Moon getting benched. The David Williams "Babygate" saga. The tragic suicide death of Jeff Alm. And then the Buddy Ryan/Kevin Gilbride sideline altercation. I have never seen a year with this much dysfunction in one locker room then what the Oilers had that season. And how they still won 12 games and won the division I have no idea.

@@evanhullinger2900 Not just that, but the ownership literally stating to Houston that this was it unless they got a new stadium.

@@bhratbrat The fans hated Bud Adams so much that their joy at seeing him go overrode their sorrow at seeing the Oilers move.

Evan Hullinger and then the 2018 Steelers showed up

@@ChiefBlue4298 History was too cruel.

U mean the Tennessee Oilers

@@railfanmaximstill7279 Titans

Ironically, the now Houston NFL team *( Houston Texans)* and the then Houston NFL team *( now Tennessee Titans)* have a chance to play each other in this year's AFC Championship game.

@@jsmoovessportsnation2531 The Titans were the Oilers until the 1999 season. So he is correct and you are wrong.

@@indigothedemigod3989 The Titans won 28-12 over the Ravens

Back then, you could. But there was a greater emphasis on form tackling and not head hunting.

Jorge Martinez they were. In addition to the NFL not having the rules they have today, these were 2 of the more physical and hard hitting teams then. Schottenheimer’s “Martyball” had that sort of style (often too conservative on offense), and had a vicious D-line. At LB they had Derrick Thomas. As for Houston, they had just hired Buddy Ryan as DC

That and I think the pads they used back then were louder (they certainly were bigger!). That's my conclusion after watching many of these throwback games.

@Phil McCrevice 💯👍

Yes he did.

My uncle Ickey Woods would like a word...

Givens, Jeffries, and Hill(RiP) were a great trio.

From…… LOUISVILLE

But man, his throws looked tired and wobbly! Heck, Montana looked tired and wobbly...

@@jeffhemmerling6088 You gotta remember the reason he was in Kansas City at all: The Leonard Marshall hit. The elbow on his throwing arm was wicked banged up

@@jeffhemmerling6088 - Yet....he still led his team to the AFC Championship. No disrespect to Buffalo, but had he been 100% and defeated the Bills, a KC vs Dallas Superbowl would had been a great game.

@@christophergreen4616 hell a Dallas/Houston game would've been awesome! I thought this was one of the better Houston Oilers teams to come out of the 90s. They weren't just that finesse team we all knew them to be! They got after it on defense & had a good running back in Gary Brown that year who had 1000yds in 8 games.

Christopher Green No what would have been even better is if the Niners beat the Cowboys in the NFC title game too. Montana vs Young for the Super Bowl, the San Francisco legend playing against his old team and Young finally trying to eclipse the shadow of Montana by beating him in the biggest game.

Given the kind of person he was, it was karmic.

He had a shot against the Bills. If only he had kept that 35-3 lead.

@@Smilingdog1124 That loss absolutely should have ended his career.

I think they had a better team in 1991

Offensively maybe but do you think the defense was better then?

I from houston and i remember all those guys - thanks for the memory ❣

It's the football gods...they're getting bored "up there", so they give us these creepy statistics as a sign that they are in control and all outcomes are divinely governed by them.

And that was back in the day where you could crush the QB without worrying about a sissy-ass flag. Also before corporate capitalism fear over civil suits started ruining the game.

Montana was under center the whole time with guys in his face. He could’ve taken it from the shotgun on 3rd and long. He wasn’t in SF anymore.

Maybe this game was the final straw, but many (myself included) felt that 35-3 collapse was the death knell for the team

They coughed up a lead to Denver when they had Elway at the 2 yard line and blew it. Then they blew 30+ point lead to Frank Reich and the Bills. By the time Montana got there, you knew they were coughing it up again. They probably left the Astrodome early.

@@RB01.10 yeah that collapse against buffalo was the beginning of the end.

And all of the numerous drama-laden incidents that occurred during the season for the Oilers (Babygate, Jeff Alm's suicide, and Kevin Gilbride and Buddy Ryan's feud)

And the Oilers themselves just didn’t have a killer instinct to get over the hump. And Bud Adams screwed the team over as well.

You can't be a great QB, if you're going to do that. I wish he control the ball.

The Oilers got taken out by Elway, Frank Reich, and Montana in the playoffs by giving up the lead in the 4th quarter. They had some real problems. They were what Falcons and at times the Saints are today.

Elway fumbled a lot, Dave Kreig might have the record. I just looked it up, Brett Favre has 166 fumbled all time at the top. That’s rough to go along with 336 ints. Interesting to know how many fumbles Favre lost to the other team.

​@@jonmolina948 favre overreated

Basically was the icing on the cake with bud adams giving up

@@erocs9747 He did say to the team before the season started that he was going to blow them up if they didn't reach the Super Bowl, and true to his word, he commenced the fire sale of the Oilers in the off-season. The Oilers finished 2-14 the following season and this marked the beginning of the end of the Oilers in Houston, leading to their relocation to Tennessee in 1997, and their rechristening as the Titans in 1999.

Because Warren moon gave up on the team. If he would of control the ball, not fumbling it, or throwing interceptions, the oilers win this game.

@@TheGameCube64GuyI doubt they would’ve beaten Dallas though

It would've been better than Buffalo. Worst Superbowl of all time. KC would've given them a game too.

I think the end was 1997, then 1998 they moved and called themselves Tennessee Oilers.

@@haveanicedave1551 No this was the end for Oilers in Houston. Slumlord Bud Adams didn't care about the city, the fans after this game.

Oilers last season in Houston was 1996. I looked up Oilers on Wiki about the Oilers moving and first, Adam got the city to spend money to fix the stadium, added 10,000 more seats and added some luxury suites and property owners had to pay taxes for it, then a couple years later, Bud wanted a new stadium but city didn't want property owners to pay again after they already paid for that update.

The Sacramento Kings did too. City paid for an upgrade on Arco Arena then owners wanted to sell Kings to Seattle.

@@haveanicedave1551 Kings haven’t done squat since 1951 though Who even supports them or the Clippers? Lakers are the team in CA that everyone supports

It's unlikely but not impossible. Tennessee and Houston are both very capable of upsets this weekend.

Impossible. They are both AFC teams.

TITANS DID IT Now its Texans turn

@@kevinmoore2929 - I think you misunderstood my sentence because it could be read another way. My point was that this weekend there is a chance that both the Titans and Texans could go to the AFC Championship game and play for the right to go to the Super Bowl. Both the current Houston team and the team formerly from Houston. ================= As a 49ers fan, when Mike Holmgren and Mike Shanahan went on to coach the Packers and Bdoncos and both were using the 49ers scheme and ideas they learned from Bill Walsh, and even had a few former 49ers players and positional coaches on their staff... that super bowl was KIND OF like the 49ers vs the 49ers. A tribute to the legacy built in SF. ============= Bill Belichick was the HC of the Browns and brought in Ozzy Newsome into the front office. Bill taught him how to be a GM: What konds of players to look for, how to manage the cap well, how to develop a coaching staff and so on. The success of the Ravens is due in large part to how people in their front office are Bill's people from his time with the Browns. The sustained success of NE and the Ravens are a result of a well managed franchise from the top down. I love football and the lesser known stories.

The late 80s/early 90s Oilers were such major postseason chokers, they made Schottenheimer look good. That takes a special kind of ineptitude. We are talking about a guy with NINE one-and-dones, three of which came as the No. 1 seed.

Your last point The Chiefs started out as the Dallas Texans 2.0. There was an NFL team called the Dallas Texans in the early 1950s. Long story short: that team sucked, relocated to Ohio midseason before its remnants were absorbed by other franchise remains that would become the Baltimore Colts

Wow. This was Marty schottenheimer's last playoffs win?! I didn't know that.

Maybe, but many (myself included) believe their grave was already dug the previous year when they blew that 35-3 lead.

​​@@RB01.10It was bad, but things may have gone differently if the Oilers had won the Super Bowl in '93. Their owner made it clear that he was fed up with underachieving and that he would break the team up if they didn't go all the way that season. Well, he was true to his word. The team was broken down to nothing and they went 2-14 in 1994. This destroyed what little good will that still existed between the owner and the city.

Thanks!

I’ve heard many felt this loss, as well as the previous one against Buffalo spelled the end of the Oilers. If they at least made the Super Bowl one of these years, *maybe* they remain in Houston ?

The pass that pretty much killed the Houston oilers.

Perhaps, but, after they blew the game to the Bills, only a Super Bowl victory would have been able to save them.

This was the death of the Houston Oilers, period Cut and Dry. I think that Had the oilers won this game and beat Buffalo, they wouldn’t have blown it up, AND they would still be in Houston. Reliant Stadium probably would have been built a few years earlier than it was, opening possibly no later than 2000. Tennessee would NOT have a NFL team, and Honestly, I’m not 100% sure the Nashville Predators of the NHL would exist. Adams wouldn’t have blown up the Oilers even if they lost to Dallas in the Super Bowl. No way he does that. You don’t blow up a team that’s in their prime if they make it but lose in the Super Bowl…

Exactly He and the team to a degree never could win the games that mattered most Lacked a killer instinct

And I would assume there was a sinking feeling this was the end for the Oilers

I think they’re forgotten because they never got a ring, let alone made the Super Bowl. Oilers always seemed to have bad luck, especially choking away that 35-3 lead

Elway was better then all them including#16 Elway would of played for the 49ers they would have been unbeatable

@@danielfenning3902 Oh brother. Folks, while everybody is entitled to their own opinion, comments like this are the result of one person not sharing and drinking the entire bottle of tequila to the head lol learn to share next time my friend. Go Niners!

Warren threw the prettiest spiral I've ever seen.

Willie Davis was an intriguing talent, fast, athletic, good at getting separation. Too bad his hands were erratic as phuk, and Montana didn't quite have the arm to reach him.

@@ckobo84 Willie Davis caught the game winner against the Broncos on Monday Night. He just couldn’t catch the deep ball. He should’ve used stickum like Jerry Rice did.

This was the game that clinched the move.

For real. Wow

@@chrisrobinson8339 for real

I mean the Oilers were an old team and never did they reach the Super Bowl in 30+ years despite being quite a talented team. And having many successful seasons and a strong fan base But one of my friends said you can have the right tools but you have to use them correctly.

JB J I thought the exact same thing. The QBs back in the day were tough as nails

Yep and did you notice? Not as many and all of those guys played through tough hits

Exactly. Watch this play at 1:48. It would have been a yellow confetti parade these days

Exactly... watch this play 1:48

Bob Lanier bro lol

@@dbdelectables lol, thanks. I guess I got so caught up in my typing I switched out Lanier for Texans original owner Bob McNair, when I was also referencing Steve McNair. I wonder if Kathy Whitmire would have been able to keep the Oilers in Houston.

Frosted Ice Pharoah that year we could’ve been seeing the Chiefs and 49ers in the Super Bowl

Brennan McKinney Montana vs Young Super Bowl wouldve been the best super bowl

@@ChiefBlue4298 yeah but they both lost in their respective title games

Light Yagami being a 49er fan but still wanting Montana to do well, I’m kind of relieved that KC lost. Dallas was too damn good. Montana got to keep his 4-0 SB record and TD/INT ratio of 11-0. Also, Steve Young would have gotten even more hell from the fans and media if that had happened.

I'm pretty sure they were in the AFC championship against the Titans.

loved Marty, but outside of this season with Montana, he never had playoff success in KC...he was a great coach, but stubborn when it came time for the playoffs, evidence of this is in 97 when he decided to bench Gannon, who had the hot hand, for Grbac (who hadnt played in weeks) in the playoffs vs Denver..I think Gannon wins that game..he was also a victim of his own great coaching..some of those KC teams had suspect QB play..yet he got more out of them than what he should have..hard to win in the playoffs without top QBs..Marty never had that...Marty had his final chance in SD, but once again, his playoff bug hit him....often wonder what would have happened if they hadnt allowed "the drive" or "the fumble"...I think hed had stayed in Cleveland and KC would never have been rebuilt..

Agreed And between that 35-3 game and this one, they were already in their death spiral.

Every other player was to blame, though, just ask him.

He's in the hof lmao at underrated

@@javi__... I think many find him underrated because he didn’t get a ring. I can understand that, as he turned it over too much and had butterfingers

Jerry Rice was using that stickum. Montana should’ve gave some to Willie Davis. He would’ve had 6 points.

I am aware the Texans are not the same franchise as Oilers but I’m always looking for reasons to post classic Oiler games

NFL Throwback If the Packers win and 49ers win please post the Packers vs 49ers 2013 wildcard game.

Either that or the Catch 2 I haven’t decided yet!

Ravens aren't the old Browns. Which is why Cleveland fought to keep the stats and history for when another franchise started.
