And as we all know there is a massive difference between winning a regular season game against a team whose focus was beating their nemesis in the playoffs a few weeks later and ramping it up in the playoffs which the Oilers were utterly incapable of doing in that era.
Because - they were the Oilers. Who couldn't even beat the Chiefs... at home. The Chiefs... who were beaten easily by the Bills the following week.
Cowboys would have steamrolled them in the playoffs - Niners would have too. The Oilers of that era simply were not built for playoff football.
It hurts because it's true.
Only pain I feel is from Jimmy leaving and a chance at 4 consecutive Super Bowl trophies leaving with him. That and the gas from those terrific enchiladas I had last night.
Speaking of which... I’ll be back.
I thought that ship had sailed under Jimmy's last year when they dug an early hole against the Niners and couldn't quite come back. Was that under Barry?
