There's a mistake on an Oilers banner hung at STSP


Oiler FANatic

The 92 Oilers were suppose to be the lock of all locks to win their division

 

McClain actually wrote an article that if you made an all star team out of the Steelers, Bengals and Browns the Oilers would still have the best team.

 

The Steelers won the division and the Oilers went 10-6, BTW, Del Geco missed like 4 game winning FGs out of those 6 losses

@Jamalisms asked Wyatt about it on twitter. His response...

 

@jwyattsports An Oilers fan on @TitansReport said they didn't win division in 1990. Wikipedia seems to agree. Is that a mistake on banner?
 

@Jamalisms @TitansReport tied for division title

The Oilers also finished tied with the Browns in 1980 at 11-5, but the Browns won the division via tie-breaker. So if it wasn't a mistake, then they should have 1980 on the banner as well as 1990 right?

I thought that there is no such thing as a "tie" for a division title, and that the NFL has "tie breakers" for determining the division champion?  What am I missing here?  Is this a matter of semantics?

There is no such thing as a tie, the tie breakers get decided, the Bengals had a home game and the Oilers were a road wild card team.

 

The Bengals and Oilers split that season head to head but the Bengals had a 5-1 division record and the Oilers were 4-2 in the division. That's an easy tie breaker.

 

Pretty weak really

The Colts have a banner hanging up that says 1999 AFC Champions runner up.

 

Really weird

 

Even lamer since they were eliminated in the divisional round

Worse than the Brownie Elf?

Haha, yes actually. At least with the browns one there is continuity. The oilers helmet has two completely separate designs pasted together with different line styles and thicknesses.
