I think people also tend to forget how easily the Oilers could've gone to the Super Bowl in the two years mentioned. Personally, I thought a certain quarterback (who shall remain nameless) threw the game - especially in the 2nd year. But the first year was pretty questionable also. That is just my personal opinion.
At any rate, why should one team's success or failure have any bearing on how another team does business? Houston is a big sports town, we love our teams, and we show up to see them play - win or lose. Quit putting the blame where it doesn't belong & focus on baseball. OK, I shall now jump down off my soapbox and put my nose back in the corner.
