Seasons1992 Posted July 7, 2017 Posted July 7, 2017 1) Why did the Oilers keep passing? They kept passing because Moon led the league that year in that category. It was all they had and knew. I rewatched the 2nd half earlier this week when this thread started. Amazing....best game I never saw.
OldTimeAFLGuy Posted July 7, 2017 Posted July 7, 2017 ....how many were watching and when it got to 35-3, stopped watching but left the TV on?.....I'm guilty.....and then they crept back and you watched a bit but left the tube..and then they crept back a bit more and you watched a bit more but left the tub....you know the drill and the result....top 5 all time NFL game comebacks IMO.................

145B4IDIE Posted July 7, 2017 Posted July 7, 2017 (edited) I was at the game and went with my Mom. After the 3Q pick I said to her "Let's get the F out of here". She said no and we stayed. Two things stick out in my head about the game. 1) Why did the Oilers keep passing? 2) The hundreds of fans trying to scale the fence to get back in. I was in the nosebleeds and could see them all trying. I also spoke of that game at my Mom's memorial service. I will never forget it as long as I am alive and have my marbles. RIP Mom. I think they had to reopen gates to avoid a riot scene. I remember when the comeback was underway the parking lot was going wild and swarming back to the stadium where were you watching it?

OldTimeAFLGuy Posted July 7, 2017 Posted July 7, 2017 (edited) as much as he was X10. oohhhh revenge is sweet! ...Moon and the Oilers were always fun to watch....Bum Phillips on the sideline....Billy "White Shoes" Johnson who started end zone celebrations......Earl Campbell toting the rock with those Robert Newhouse like thighs....Matthews on the OL blocking for Earl.....great memories.....

145B4IDIE Posted July 7, 2017 Posted July 7, 2017 Moon was my first ever pick when I started playing fantasy football

Me; went upstairs to get my stuff to go to my gf's house; when I came down they had scored once and were about to score again. Needless to say I stayed put.
3rdand12 Posted July 8, 2017 Posted July 8, 2017 (edited) Over 234,000 people attended that game and the number goes up every year. And EVERYONE stayed until the end. well I did. Btw we almost got kicked out of the Hotel floor we rented for playing for a couple hours football in the hallway. i puked at some point and we lost a couple on the way. But I stayed for the whole game and being in that end zone was awesome. Every other game I went to had me near the tunnel. My buddy, had seasons back then. young crazy idiots Sitting in freezing rain watching it live. way better (with an Oiler fan) its not good when you drink your beer to warm up.

Thrivefourfive Posted July 9, 2017 Posted July 9, 2017 I have the original broadcast on DVD. I found it on eBay. One of the Best Buy's I ever made!!
Ned Flanders Posted July 9, 2017 Posted July 9, 2017 (edited) Charlie Jones' best call, I think when the Bills scored to make it 35-31: "Ya gotta love it...unless you're in Houston!" Am I mistaken or did TV stations in Buffalo and Rochester replay the game the following Friday night? Edited July 9, 2017 by Ned Flanders

Worse when you get back to the tailgate and your buddies who left early have finished off the beer:(. That was a miserable weather day!
gomper Posted July 9, 2017 Posted July 9, 2017 Charlie Jones' best call, I think when the Bills scored to make it 35-31: "Ya gotta love it...unless you're in Houston!" Am I mistaken or did TV stations in Buffalo and Rochester replay the game the following Friday night? He was such a great PBP guy. He did the Cleveland playoff game too. I love his call on the Kelso tipped pass play.
That's No Moon Posted July 10, 2017 Posted July 10, 2017 Over 234,000 people attended that game and the number goes up every year. And EVERYONE stayed until the end. Section M6, row 10, Seat 111
jester43 Posted July 12, 2017 Posted July 12, 2017 For SURE!!! I remember those old NBC days... miss Paul Maguire most of all. Golden days of NFL broadcasting before FOX screwed it up... Amen.
Elite Poster Posted July 12, 2017 Posted July 12, 2017 I don't even care for this game anymore. Let's see a playoff game this millennium.
Buftex Posted July 12, 2017 Posted July 12, 2017 Moon was my first ever pick when I started playing fantasy football Mine was Jim Everett...won a championship with him! One of his two or three really good seasons in the NFL!
