Of course, you never know. I'm sure Chicago comes with more energy than they did on Monday night at the electric Orange Bowl.A lot of good commentary here. I think Miami beats them again. As has been pointed out, we were a matchup nightmare for them and their offense played into our hands. What do I mean by that? Well, we weren’t going to be beaten by a run-oriented team who didn’t also have a pass game that could get chunk plays and score quickly. At least, not unless we turned it over a lot.
Payton having a lot of touches means the game would have stayed close even if the bears played better. Just like the ‘82 SB w Riggins only we would have had a lethal offense on the field that the Bears would not have been able to match up to. Their CBs were old and slow. The pass rush not getting home spelled death for them. No reason to believe anything would have changed in that regard. Also, the only reason SF going to 7 DBs worked is they had hybrid LB/DL Keena Turner who sometimes rushed and sometimes dropped into coverage. He was an athletic soecifimen. If the Bears took one of their great DL off of the field to put more DBs in I don’t think it works. As great as Singletary was, he wasn’t the same type of LB as Turner. To make that whole scheme that Walsh used you needed a great, pass rushing LB not a thumper.
Of course, turnovers and self-inflicted wounds could have changed the outcome of this game that never happened - but if we played pretty mistake free we win
They lost the legacy of undefeated…they lost the legacy of the greatest season in NFL history……Chicago didn't really have nothing to lose in that game
Hmmm.......I guess you are discounting a shot at a perfect season?Chicago didn't really have nothing to lose in that game
Watched it and loved the game and your right.Hmmm.......I guess you are discounting a shot at a perfect season?
I thought it "poetic" that our Phins were the one to take them down, and prevent that from happening.
The Bears had a cush schedule that year. The division games were all pretty much "pencil in wins"
And Clayton caught a TD that first deflected off a linebacker’s head. I think it was Wilbur Marshall. Lol. That first half was unreal. 31 points against that D.That's right, I forgot that McMahon didn't play in that MON night game. Good memory.
There is no Question that the Bears lost a lot on that Monday Night, in front of the largest NFL tv audience in history,….with the 72’ Dolphins on the sideline to motivate their fellow Dolphins to “shock” the world!Hmmm.......I guess you are discounting a shot at a perfect season?
