I was a freshman in high school & would watch the games with my dad every Sunday. 1984 is the year the Bears games became “can’t miss TV” in my little hometown in Illinois. Great channel … brings back amazing memories.
Loved the '84 Bears D. Watch Todd Bell plant the pulling guard at 6:55. People always raved about Ronnie Lott as the hardest hitting safety, when Bell was just as devastating. He was missed, but not necessary during the '85 run. Remember the hit on Joe Washington in the Divisional round. That hit turned the Bears loose of the Redskins.
I gotta giggle from the fact that Tim Ryan calls quarters periods, ALL GAME LONG! Then, at the end of the third quarter, the guy doing the graphics puts up, "End of the third period." It's like they had been listening to Tim Ryan say it for three quarters and they FORGOT they were quarters and not periods! Love Johnny Morris calling out the Blitzes every time there's a blitz! Love it!
Not only did Manning get sacked 11 times, he was hit as many or more times on passes. The Vikings would end up at 3-13 & thus one of their worst seasons in their history. All things considered, Manning still had a fairly decent day in passing.
i am a lost vista Raider fan. the era of Da Bears is legendary. the best defense ever. the Eagles with reggie white,seth joyner, and eric allen were awesome.
As a 10yr old when this game was played at Soldier. I was invited w my Mpls bud Andris to the return match at The Dome. I gave the 2 tix to my Grandma + Dad. They got to WITNESS THE 46
@@macurban7946 and see thats the thing haters or people that do not know football think the bears were 1 year wonders or that the 46 defense was good for only 1 year, how wrong there are. the 46 defense was created in like 1978 and the bears had good defenses for years and had the best defenses from 1984 to 1988!
The defense was awesome, but they never really developed the offense and relied too much on the defense later on. The Steelers won Super Bowls in '74 and '75 with awesome defense and a good offense. But they won in '78 and '79 with an aging but still very good defense and an awesome offense. This Bear team just never really developed their offense enough. Otherwise they would have won more SBs.
Sorry, had to literally laugh out loud. About 12 minutes in McMahon scrambles for a first down and Johnny says "...because he has great peripheral vision." McMahon can't see out of his right eye. Sigh, miss those days when Da Bears were rarely on national TV but we got to see 'em almost every week on CBS. Cheers....
As a bears fan we need to play modern football im so sick of this three yards ans a cloud of dust offense thats why we never had a 4000 yardbpasser thats our history run defense qbs cant develop qbs it infurating
i bet the vikings knew before this game that they were in for a long day and it jus compounded ... 11 sacks and turnovers is absolutely getting dominated
I would luv 2 see some More Dave wannsted,bears teams on here. He still one of my favorite coach,because of his passion for the game,he might not of won A SB but he knew how to get his players going.
