    I wish Buddy was in Buffalo when the Oilers blew that 32 point lead. Punching Gilbride in that game might have made a difference.

    From a year ago. I’m always one step ahead of the organization. I should be this team’s new GM

    Buddy wouldn’t have stopped with a punch. That would have been an old fashion curb stomp and with no curb, just that cement under the putting green they laid down in the astrodome.

    Sunday night game, Oilers vs Jets, with Bucky taking most of if not all of the 2nd half snaps. I was watching from a Cici's pizza after the Sunday night church service. A buddy came up, grabbed me by the shoulder and yelled 'ol Buddy just swung at Gilbride on the sideline!' and just like that I was glued to the tv for the rest of the night. Such a great memory. Probably Bucky's finest moment/game as an Oiler.

    I remember watching it live and thinking it was about damn time something like that happened. Gilbride had it coming all season. The end of the first half of that Jets game was the last straw.

    I don't think Vrabs is as controlling as some folks make him out to be. As you said, under different OCs, the Titans were a different offense. So maybe he just lets his OC do their job. I'm sure he has input but it's not "his offense or nothing" like people here think.

    Of course the offense was limited in the passing game by lack of weapons and having Henry, it's tempting to run the ball... But Downing was just terrible at when to call what and when to get away from what wasn't working. Or when to keep doing what was working. Obviously he didn't adjust after halftime.

    but they werent a different offense, Henry just ran all over the place and Tannehill was dropping dimes on his couple of crappy receivers. We were still running on 1st down almost every 1st down. We still were running a bunch of 3 yard routes on 3 and 7.. We still had our 2 receivers on the same side of the field within yards of each other. Keep in mind continuity has been a word used over and over.
