Well, at least we never had another instance of the Bengals and Oilers coaches feuding with one another
Or a team from Houston being accused of cheating
Lol
I know…right?! LOL!!
The man at 3:28 would agree with you.
Just imagine how upset Paul Brown would have been if it had been the Browns rather than the Oilers not sending him the film on time.
surprised Model didn't sue Brown for plagiarizing the Browns' uniform set with those early Bengals uni's.
Getbenched the fact paul brown won model 10 afl championships is probably why he gave brown a pass far as similar uniforms
@@GetBenched2010 So am I......I'm surprised the league never stepped in and said, "The uniform looks too close to the Cleveland Browns. Get another color scheme."
Fun Fact about the early Bengals. They made the playoffs in the 3rd year of existence(1970). That year they started off 1-6. They won 7 in a row to finish 8-6 and won the division. They were shutout by the Colts in the playoffs.
Wow
That also marked the start of what became known as the “West Coast Offense”.
That colts team won the super bowl too
Paul Brown also didn't know until the beginning of training camp that he wouldn't have Greg Cook as his QB. He went through at least 9 different QBs until he finally brought in the relatively weak-armed Virgil Carter at the end of August. Bill Walsh tailored the offense to suit Carter's abilities, and what became known as the West Coast Offense was born. And Carter & the Bengals pulled off one of the most improbable Division Championships in NFL history.
Wow. Great video again. Never heard of this controversy from 1974. What a story. Nice job laying this out--Talk about a bitter feud, for sure!
And great video footage of the entire sequence too
At 5:40 it took me a criminally long time recognize the gentleman speaking to Coach Gilman: Ed Sabol, something of a pioneer in the use of film as well!
I read somewhere back then that NFL policy stated that teams had to send their THREE most recent game tapes out to their next opponent.
Al Davis in his earlier years with the Raiders was criticized by other teams for sending out poor quality game film that made it more difficult to break down. It went as bad as it was nearly impossible to identify the players uniform numbers on screen.
Has anybody else ever heard something similar?
Lol the idea of the Oilers calling Paul Brown a senile old man made me laugh before even watching the video; it just sounds so hilariously petty.
As Maxwell Smart would say, "Look, I hope I wasn't out of line with that crack about "senile."
6:15 The OIlers player getting this sack is Ted Washington, the father of the massive DT Ted Washington Jr., who was drafted by the Chiefs in '72 but never played a down for them. So it's a good revenge moment for him personally. He also had 11 sacks that season, the only double digit sack season of his career.
This is the first time I've ever heard a story of Paul Brown being gracious towards another NFL head coach lol
"There was nothing for them to do without the film." I mean, a good coach would have come up with something...
Well THIS CONTROVERSY is CERTAINLY WAY BETTER than SPIKING the BALL into the ground on EVERY single OFFENSIVE play!!!!!
Yes, but first, let’s put that into context….
But what would the passer rating be if you did that
@@stuartmartin2615 39 point something
@WolfLarsen85 We all do. (Whispers.) We all do...
@@stuartmartin2615 39.6
Without Gillman and Brown, sports (not just the NFL) would look a lot different due to the difference in preparation.
The Bengals also had 11 starters out that season due to injury. This included Isaac Curtis, Boobie Clark, Essex Johnson and a good chunk of offensive line including Anderson for the last game and a half. That 17-10 victory over the Steelers was my first pro game and I was a Bengals and Ken Anderson fan for his whole career.
"It is what it is" is the most common line
The 63-year old Gillman calling the 66-year old Brown senile was the cringiest part IMO.
I have seen 50 year old men that were senile, and 70 year old men that are sharp as a tack.
@@TR19 You completely missed the point.
@@CatsClaw44 wooossshhhhh
Houston Oilers!! Bring back the powder blue helmets!! Oh, wait!!
The truth is Gillman actually WAS cheating that season, by using an illegally large taxi squad, and was fired by Bud Adams for it among other questionable things he was doing.
Me just being a kid at the time at first glance the Bengals looked just like the browns until I found out years later that was by design because of Paul Brown he once coached the Browns.
nice shot of Gillman with NFL Films "Tidan" (a.k.a. "titan") Ed Sabol at 5:30.
Ed may have been thanking Sid for wearing a mic in that game. If memory serves, that was the game Sid mic'd up for NFL Films.
@@Wrcoach2 Yes -- I think that's correct.
7:46 - Mike Reid, DT for the Bengals. Later Country singer and songwriter. He co-wrote Stranger in My House, a top 10 single for Ronnie Milsap. He himself recorded Walk on Faith, which went to number 1 on the Country charts.
Like your videos. The audio on this one seemed muted and hard to understand at times. Never noticed that with other videos. Maybe I'm just getting old...
It's funny that the Oilers called Paul Brown senile, considering that they had Bill Peterson as HC in the 1.5 seasons prior. Well, Bill wasn't exactly senile, but he couldn't form a straight sentence to save his life.
"Apologizing for calling him senile" lol oh my goodness.
Such a great channel. Thank you!
1:25 what a hit! Love all your content!
Not a high degree of difficulty though, considering he was totally unblocked. The Bengals wound up thrashing the Vikings 27-0 in that game which wasn't a tank job by the Vikes, since there were 2 games left afterwards and they played all their starters. That should've been a big clue as to how the Dolphins-Vikings Super Bowl was going to go.
@@DolFan316 regardless of the outcome of the play or game…a big hit is a big hit. But I agree with you as well.
you do nice obscure interesting stories i never heard of. cool.
Bud Adams was Bob Irsay's evil twin.
Paul Brown was Tom Landry's evil twin.
Paul Brown won titles in the AAFC not the AFC.
13:40 Hall of Famer Roger Wherli chasing down a seemingly wide open receiver who looked to be headed for a TD. This is why this guy is in the Hall. Incidentally, the Oilers lost that game.
At 10:15, so close.
Houston Oilers cheating? Astros? Hmm, must be something in the water.
Fun to see creator of NFL Films Ed Sabol mobbing Sid Gilman following a big win. l liked the trench warfare, HOF'r Elvin Bethea grabbing #71 the pulling guard to slow down the play. Ken Burroughs could blaze, blocking not in his arsenal. Another gem.
too many teams go out of there way to do no good too other team, if you have to cheat how good are you really.? an that goes for then an now.....
If I'd been the NFL commissioner I'd have docked the Oilers at least one draft pick for that. I guarantee they wouldn't have "accidentally" been late sending game film again.
3:28 hey, future NFL coach Sam Wyche
Would've been hilarious for them to patch things up just for it to go south again.
Before I continue with the video, do I need any context? Did anyone have a worse passer rating than just spiking the ball on every play?
No, and this unofficial Official Jaguar Gator 9 historian doesn’t make an appearance.
Huh I never knew how they did film back then, pretty interesting.
Gilman had to cheat. The guy who ran the Bengals offense was...Bill Walsh 😁
6:27 Damn, sweet interception by #42! lol
In the 80's after glanville ran up the score on wyche's bengals both teams hated each other for a few seasons. Each game one would run up the score on the other if they got a big lead. That was nothing new for punk coach glanvillle, chuck noll instead of shaking his hand after steelers lost to oilers gave glanville a 'lecture' about running up the score on teams. One game in '89 season wyche rolled up the score 61-7 on glanville. The year after they went to the sb.
Other scores...'90-oilers 48, cincy, 17. cincy 40, oilers, 20. Pardee was oiler coach now
'88-cincy 44, oilers 21. oilers 41, cincy 6.
This was a three year war between bengals/wyche and oilers in which the home team rolled up the score on the other winning by 20 + pts. or more. Only '89 first meeting, a 26-24 oilers win in the astrodome, was close.
This comment should be a video itself
@@thebrotasticbro9465 Thanks. Maybe it will be a soon to be video.
Keep up the good work.
Why should one team send another team game film? I would think all teams are responsible for getting their own game film.
Paul Brown was a great coach, maybe.
Paul Brown's success was due to four factors:
1) Speed (having fast players)
2) Analyzing game film
3) Coach calling the plays
4) Generational compatibility with players
Brown innovated 2) & 3).
After Paul Brown won his last championship, he had barely a .500 record.
He and his players were of a different generation and he couldn't relate to them, and they couldn't relate to him.
The rest of the league began doing 2) & 3) and Brown did not continue to innovate.
Hmm... Violating unwritten rules to gain a competitive advantage over your opponents...?
Tinfoil hat time: what does Gillman look like wearing a hoodie...?
look competition MEANS gaining an advantage on your opponent
if you won it means somehow you had an advantage
an advantage means the competition is unfair
MAKING THE COMPETITION UNFAIR IS WHAT WINNING IS ABOUT
in other words
CHEATING IS WINNING
the purpose of sports competition is to teach valuable life lessons
theres one for you
CHEAT, CHEAT YOUR ASS OFF ALL THE TIME
THATS WHAT BEING A WINNER IS
Anderson played in 1974, he had a great career, sbxvi player, wow
5:40 Ed Sabol (NFL FILMS and Sid were good friends......
Modern football is due to Paul Brown
11,000+ views and under 400 likes 😕. People are beyond lazy 🤦🏻♂️
The AAFC not the AFC
The Oilers should've had to forfeit the game.
47 Years Ago
How old are u dude
So when you don't have game film is your best option to spike the ball on every play?
