I wouldn't call this a miracle. This was the year Washington and Darrel Green beat da Bears in the playoffs I believe? Too many egos cost the Bears multiple championships IMO. It was fun while it laster though. I was at the Bears ass kicking of NE in January, 1986 in NO.❤
I dont know why they call it a "miracle" as if he took over with 5 minutes left. The man played 3 quarters of football and was down less than 3 scores.
I was a dolphin fan back then. But i always respected McMahon. Dude was tough as nails and was a great QB. Espn and Fox Sports say that the bears never had a great QB. That's total BS. Jim McMahon was a great QB
Jim McMahon was an intelligent play caller. He changed so many plays that was sent in by the offensive coordinator to run the play and don't audible and Jim audibles anyway because he saw the defensive linebackers looking for run the whole way. He's decision on that particular play left Willie Gault wide open for 6 points. This is what the offensive coordinator said to Jim McMahon, when i send in a play and i mean don't audible then don't change the play, do you understand what I'm saying. Well Coach Mike D over heard what the offensive coordinator told Jim and fired his offensive coordinator the following week for not confirming with him first about the situation, because he was the only one who could make decisions if one of his players saw something that they didn't and as a QB that's his job to recognize.
The way I found out about what I posted about Jim McMahon was a Program ESPN cover's the entire season's with the Chicago Bears. From the Commissioner telling Jim he couldn't wear anything that was advising Adidias sports wesr. so Jim wrote in magic marker on his headband Rozelle. But it was a great piece and it went into great detail of his day's with the Bears. Not once did Jim ever say anything bad about his teammate's during the Making of 30-30.
I remember this game. Three friends and I were traveling from Chicago to Michigan to do some weekend dirt bike riding, we had the game on the radio and were talking and drinking beer. I heard McMahon had come in and he immediately tossed a TD pass. Then a few minutes later he's back in and I told the guys, hey listen, bang, he throws another, and we go nuts. Then a little later .... pandemonium!
You're not seriously saying that McMahon should be in the _pro_ football Hall-of-Fame, are you? I absolutely love McMahon, but you're delusional if that's what you're saying.
Man I'm a San Diego guy SoCal guy but I remember McMahon in the refrigerator Perry like it was yesterday me and my Dad loved him I was young I was only 7 years old but I remember it Walter awesome
The game, the players today are so different from back, men got to be men in those days. Something I took for granted, who could have seen "woke-ism" back then. 😢
