Anything special going on to mark it this year? Just happened to pull old VHS tape of the SB after the '85 season against the Patriots! I should go look at the record-books to see if the Bears hold many in how they abused that team! I'm sure no other team was held to negative halftime yardage; passing and rushing! It was a case of child abuse! With 2 weeks to muse about the match-ups, people were sure this was "even-steven!" Nothing could be further from the truth! It got so bad, Eason had to be replaced by old man Grogan in the 2nd quarter! He had to be shell-shocked from being sacked multiple times, having a forced fumble, and an interception; all in the first couple series of the game! I'm still trying to figure out why Coach Berry had them passing on those 1st 3 plays after Payton's fumble? They had gotten to the big game by running the ball, upsetting Marino and the Dolphins in Miami!
They had to settle for a field goal in the shadow of the post! This game had it all; big plays, banter about McMahon's "headbands," and artistry of the whole thing going down to the score, (46-10)! The "46 Defense" was relentlessly talked about all year due to how the Bears were just as entertaining on both sides of the ball! It wasn't all about Payton, McMahon, Gault, and McKinnon! The "dog pound" had a lot to "yap" about; esp. shutting out 2 teams in the playoffs! That's probably another record they'll hold for all time; 21-0 over NY Giants and 24-0 over LA Rams! LA RAMS? lol! Yep, it was all about Eric Dickerson and a cloud of dust! He was forced to cough up the ball twice; including the last play when Marshall picked it up and ran it back for a TD as snow began to fall in Chicago! Memories! What's your favorite memory of that season? Mines was of course McMahon coming off the bench in that MNF game against Minnesota; threw it 4 times, only getting 3 TD's after being down 17-6 late IIRC! What's yours? Perry rushing and catching a TD against GB in successive games? The lone loss against Miami on MNF? I love that Bell and Harris held out, wanting to be traded, and ended up watching this dream season with a video proclaiming their greatest before the SB with "The Super Bowl Shuffle!"
