Urlacher Leads New Monsters of the Midway (Saints vs. Bears, 2006 NFC Champ) | NFL Vault Highlights 

They pick their QBs blindfolded

Bag Of rats no when you have a franchise who’s considered a defensive franchise you’ll always fuck around and have a bad qb.

Except when we won the super bowl...

@@Ballinbmac they could've won like 3 more superbowls if the picked above average QBs

@@bagofrats3464 Yeah like Mahomes instead of Trubisky

An older Trubisky?

Sums up every bears qb

@@jnordne2 BROOO! I was about to say. This man overthrows everything just like Trubisky

hahahahhaah

@Think Blue lmfao the red coats also stood in a neat little line

My sister and dad watched this game together and the ultimate disappointment in the Super Bowl. I didn’t go to school the next day I was so sad. I went to college in 2010 and called my dad after every bears game to talk about it. He passed away in 2013 during the winter and it was so hard to watch that opening day game in 2013 against Cincinnati knowing I wouldn’t be watching with him or talking to him about a bears game ever again.

I was at this game at age 14 with no worries in the world. My biggest worry in the world was this football game. lol. God... you don't even realize you have it made.

So true so true

Bless i was 6 i wish i could’ve appreciated these days more

I was 18 at the time this was right after the sox won the world series what a time to be alive.

I was 13 in 2006

Shit hit me like a truck when I saw it, he was apart of my favorite childhood team. RIP

BigMack52 yes he will. So sad to see generations of talented defenses and good playmakers at RB and WR with these horrible QB’s

Rest in peace Cedric Benson. Glad he was apart of our team.

Bears should have never gotten rid of Thomas Jones. It was a mistake keeping Benson over him.....

@@mr.mcmagpie6606 we picked Benson 4th in that draft...smh...we could have had Rogers!

Who would you have stuck with, P. Rivers or D. Brees? Yeah, were old.

And in his last season he’ll lose to the bears in the playoffs

@@Baker33 sadly you were incorrect.

@@daBEAGLE1017 be humble, don’t be one of those cocky Saints fans man, 1 game at time you never know what could happen look at what happened last year or every year for the last 4 years for that matter, be humble and take 1 game at time, doesn’t matter if we swept them it’s statistically proven that it’s harder to beat the same team 3 times, and it’s fucking Tom Brady in the playoffs so you never know what could happen but all said BIG TRUSS AND WHO DAT ⚜️

@@creamsilver2513 what are you talking about

Agree lovie I miss you

True!!!

wonder why Houston just fired him

Took time to build. This was movies fourth year he missed the playoffs his first two

J. A. Greene what about 2010 and 2011 before cutler got injured

No. I told everyone I know that the Bears will never win a Super Bowl (or even get to a Super Bowl) with Jay Culter as their QB. 2010 was a fluke good year, and I knew it at the time. They had a relatively easy schedule, and the fact that they managed to score only 17 points in the last two games against GB exposed who they really were. Remember that they played a 8-9 Seahawks team in the Divisional Round of the playoffs too. Also, the fact that we lost to GB in arguably the biggest game in the rivalry's history ON OUR FIELD makes that, arguably, one of the worst seasons as a Bears fan. I'd rather have them go 2-14 and have those two wins be against the Packers, then for them to go 16-0 and then lose to the Packers in the NFC Championship Game. Any season past 2006 is dead to me. I'm only paying attention to this season, because it actually looks like they're finally putting their shit together and look to be competitive again.

J. A. Greene How did the Seahawks go 8-9 when there are only 16 games in the regular season? 🤔

Because they beat the Saints in the wildcard round before they played the Bears. I counted that in their wins and losses.

J. A. Greene Ohhhh gotcha dude!

PantsofVance he needed to take a chill pill at that moment.

He’s not supposed to. He’s professional. He’s a great commentator and all you idiots are haters commenting from your Mom’s basement.

@@mooiemooface1550 calm your tits

@@mooiemooface1550 Joe buck? Great commentator? Haha! That's a good joke.

@@Nutshaq Except for the fact that I'm not joking. He's one of the better commentators ever. He professional. Hes way better than that Gus Johnson idiot who sounds like a drunk duck being strangled by a donkey.

What a pair we got that first and second round. It’s sad Mike brown couldn’t stay healthy. But you’re right about Urlacher he was an absolute machine. His size and athleticism could only be described as freakishly

​@@ShadyAcaciaalot of people dont know the Packers desperately tried to trade down for Urlacher and it was Andy Reid who wouldnt make the deal and the Eagles took Corey Simon and the rest was history.

They hadn't been squat ever since.

unfortunate he ran into his jedi master the next game

Ron Rivera did*

@@Darkness-ie2yl Manning? Look at his stats in that super bowl. They were pretty average. If the Bears didn't keep coughing up the ball, they could have actually won.

@@WithDreday tony dungy

Kyle Adrien .... Agreed...

Multiple

Evan ..... Multiple is a stretch ... 2006 though with that defense, for sure ... 2006 Bears D was really good ...

2005 and 2010 could easily have been super bowl years if they had a different qb

Evan .... They woulda been in a hunt more, but winning it all isn’t easy... Consider injuries, losing players free agency, bad drafts, etc ... It’s fine to speculate, but saying multiple Super-Bowl wins is tough to do even with a good QB...

I swear to god i used to say this.

Why even take centric benson with the 5th pick when jones was already a 1000 yard rusher lol, they shoulda took Aaron rodgers, this is why we always suck

@@Jay-ci4to I'm convinced they didn't wanna resign him is the only reason. Jones only had one year left on his contract when they drafted Benson. Big mistake since Jones would go on to have his best seasons with the Jets lol. To make it worse, Benson was always hurt in Chicago... and then he'd go on to become a 1k yard rusher with the Bengals lmao.

​@@Wheelioexactly they just didnt want to pay Jones who went on to be excellent for the Jets.

Lovie was excellent at putting a defensive squad together and also coaching them to play a certain way, to go after the ball and make things happen. It seems like all through Urlacher's career they lived off defensive scores and timely turnovers. That made the games fun to watch because you were always expecting someone to come up with a play. It made up for the embarrassing dogsh*t passing game, not just in actual points scored but in terms of the games being fun to watch. Often they'd have nothing going all day against some average team and you'd be just waiting for Peanut to knock a ball loose and bam, they're back in it. It was a pretty solid culture in retrospect.

Aww, that's hilarious

😂😭

He was horrendous

Watch the Bears vs Cardinals. (Week 6 I think) hoooo leeeee FUK!😄

@Uncle Ted he was terrible. That wide open missed throw to dez clark... I could've made that throw

Right. And people say y'all can't win in cold weather.

44thelegendary Bears defense was just too much for us. It’s ok though

@@dejongrant27 well i mean they didnt win. and the final score wasnt close. so this game doesnt disprove that narrative

Bush fired up the Bears with his backflip and stupid little dance. He got away with crap like that at Southern Cal, but not in the NFL.

@@johnmanier7968 Lol funny I’m reading this as Sean Payton retires

Trent Dilfer was wayyyyy worse. Grossman was good, just not consistent with a terrible OC. Your blind, uniformed, unintelligible comment has made you the biggest moron to ever post a comment on RU-vid.

URUSOIMI What about the people that think the earth is flat or anti vaxxers or feminists or 7 year olds? The list goes on.

Well you seemed to understand my comment....Does that make you a moron then? :P People can have differing views. I don't think I said anything offensive so calm down and just disagree without belittling me. BTW Dilfer was at least a guy who knew what he was and was in the right place at the right time. He'd make my list of worst starting QBs in a SB behind Grossman. In fact, my bottom 3 goes like this: Rex Grossman David Woodley Trent Dilfer

SPTO who da fuck is David woodley?

URUSOIMI I disagree, sir. That year, Trent Dilfer had arguably one of his better seasons that year in 2000. Granted, that's not saying much, but all he needed to do is to NOT give the game away, which he never did once they got on their winning streak. In a handful of games in 2006, Rex Grossman almost single-handedly gift-wrapped the game to the opposing team, but the Bears defense and special teams bailed him out time and time again (look at Grossman's stat line against the Vikings week 13). Eventually, it was going to catch up to him, and it did in the Super Bowl. There's a reason why Denny Green said "They are who we thought they were". He knew they were one-dimensional, and if you can rattle Grossman, which they did, they gave themselves a good chance to win the game. The Colts basically did what the Cardinals did, and the reason why they were able to win is because they had Peyton Manning and not Matt Leinert. I'd rather take the Trent Dilfer of 2000 over the 2006 Rex Grossman.

And the Super Bowl was also in Miami in 2006, just like the 2009 Colts vs Saints SB

Jt Williams Thomas Jones was a beast he was my favorite player on that Bears team along with Brian Urlacher and Hester, it pissed me off that they let him go during that offseason. Thomas Jones in my opinion is the best RB the Bears have had since Walter Payton

McMahon was in a different league than Grossman... unlike rex, Jimmy-Mac could actually throw an accurate pass!

That and the Colts O line straight up dominated the line of scrimmage. The Bears D didn’t play great in that one

McMahon was a play maker and had far more knowledge, accuracy, and arm strength than Grossman had in his wildest dreams. Don't forget, McMahon was voted pro bowl.

Peyton Manning really doesn’t play well in Super Bowls. His brother was actually more of a big game quarterback than him.

funkyflights joe buck ruined it tho

Billy Fresh .... Weak link at QB though can totally derail a team...

Worst thing about all that is he was better than Cutler.

uhhh no, just no.

Billy Fresh trrruuuee. The was excruciating to watch. But that defense tho

Billy Fresh kinda Lil trubisky

R.O still gotta give it to brees with a bum ass defense he made big plays

Slick Reynolds yeah first this, then the vernon Davis game, then stefon diggs

If that's the case, how come they won a Super Bowl? Don't say it's because of luck.

probably cuz we always start off a tad bit shook when on the road in the hostile environment. It'd be nice to get home field advantage throughout like 09

To make us suffer that’s what

Same way dey did sweetness in da 85 super bowl,giving da ball 2 fa fridge instead of Walter for da touchdown. He never got another chance..🥶

They wanted to let their top pick RB to tote the rock, and he felt over shadowed by Thomas Jones, he should've been. Jones was a the better running back at that point in their respective careers. IMO, they should've kept Jones and never let him go.

And the Running game with Thomas Jones?!?

they were LOADED in 2006!! they had a great defense that year and an even better special teams unit with Hester......if they had a QB like drew brees they would have went 15-1 again and won the super bowl

Just like 2011 LSU until they met Alabama again in the National Chip

81oakridg Shit if we had an Alex Smith, we would’ve been an all time great time...again.

did you even watch this game?

absolutely destroyed

54 unloaded on him

I'm pretty sure 1985 was the good ole days for you bears fans

That entire game is on youtube, just look it up.

Slick Reynolds I sound stupid that defense was legit like fuck hater

Alright bro😂😂😂😂💀💀💀

@@Sportswatcher588 they almost did it with Rex Grossman. Cutler was 100x better than Rex.

ECHICAGOBEARSDBZ He's statistically THE MOST inconsistent in over twenty years.

@@verde7595 doesn't surprise me at all

The defense is what cost us. Here’s an example a wide open Reggie Wayne TD

Rewatch that game. To say it was Grossmans fault is a lie. He completed 70% of his passes that game. He lost 1 fumble that resulted in 0 points. You had the defense give up an easy td on a blown coverage. You had a rb fumble and give the colts great field position that added another 3. You had a dropped first down when the Bears were on a good drive. And then you had the coaches calling deep passes in a monsoon that even Manning was struggling to pass in.

He did win back to back playoff games

This guy

For Honor 😂

Whose here after they almost lost to the Viking back ups 😂

BigJohnStudd 68 only after beating their starters first

@@bigjohnstudd6868 dont forget the Vikings lost to the bears backups 2 years ago buddy

Jose Castellanos honestly yeah

Nope

Very true. Say what you want about Cutler but he's definitely better than Grossman.

Jay Cutler?! You Must be kidding Sir.

Agreed. The offensive line in '06 was among the best, so Jay Would've had time to throw unlike when Ja'Marcus Webb was playing tackle.

pretty much the same team. crappy qb. great defense. frigging cody parkey.

Donald Wilson Former ? So you're sayin you banwaggoned for another team now ?

Will Simmons nah i dont really root for any team tbh. I like to watch the whole league & let the great players do their thing

No time machine necessary. Our D is guna be ridiculous next year, maybe even this year

Devin Hester as well

I hope you aren't rooting now

3 years later my friend.

@@billybaggins1443 No, Colts vs Jets was the AFC championship three years later.

@@samt4956 sorry, should have been more clear. I meant that three years ago you asked for the Patriots versus Colts championship game, and nfl throwback uploaded that 3 years later, today.

@@billybaggins1443 Shit my bad man. Thanks for letting me know. Didn’t mean to be an ass lol

@@samt4956 it's all good, my guy. Again, I was unclear on what I meant, but overall have a good night.

Yes in 2020 let's get it done! 2006 was fun, but 1985 was the greatest year for Chicago and the Bears. It was MAGICAL.

if you think about it he was the only coach to get the bears to the playoffs in my lifetime

Kyle Hallman he’s doing his thing at U OF I kinda wish he would coach again but they doin fine and it seems like he is

Lovie smith was thd last coach to take us to the playoffs on a regular two NFC championship games one win one loss.

Deron Coaty and now Nagy

He really was

And both Super Bowl's were in Dolphins stadium 😂😂😂. And also. The Saints would have had played a NFC north team both times to get there. 2007 was the Bears. 2010 was the Vikings

The Colts would have killed us that year, we had a lot of injuries (not saying we would have beaten the bears) going into that game.

@@goalscoringgoon9896 make sure they don't do another bounty just to win again

Or Brees vs Brady had the patriots not lost that lead against the colts

@@Anonymous-gh8kt its funny that people actually think bountygate was the reason we won the superbowl

Brees always sucked playoff time though.

Brees just ran into a legendary defense like he did in Seattle in 2013. His playoff chokes don’t compare to Peyton Manning or Aaron Rodgers.

@@jamesgurksnis4392 Peyton Manning has more playoff wins and titles than both combined

@@thecarsonigen That's just not true. He was consistently let down by his team.

@@gbrow1604 I've seen plenty of times Brees cave under pressure and be the reason for the Saints losing in playoff time with bad passes and bad decisions

Rex Grossman mixed with Jay Cutler would’ve been a great QB

Even though of course we all wanted the win, I'd say at that time most of us Saints fans were just happy to see the team in the NFC Championship especially after getting that 1st time 1st round bye with the 2nd seed.

When you see snow falling during an NFC Championship game at Soldier Field, Papa Bear is watching and the Bears are not going to lose to a dome expansion team from the south.

@@Ram44 Too bad they lost to a Dome team in the SB while playing in the elements which was ironic!

Nah...I was proud of the Saints given that they were 3-13 the year before. This was amazing. The Bears defense was special that season.

me I’m a bears fan

Julien Torres Rex Grossman was not a real QB though

*as the current Bears win the North Division*

Rez was awful for our bears.. Cutler was even worse.. He led the league in interceptions.. Trubisky is going to evolve into a top qb.. Bears SB champs 2018!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥💯

Was wondering the same thing LOL.. That knife in the back is getting deeper and deeper! LOL. Its all good Saints coming back strong! geaux saints!

I know right

They couldn't find any recent wins *mic drop* 😆

dosni eslaw so your saying they suck

Jesus Christ your a terrible person will Simmons.

How was this game iffy??

Brandon Harrington I know score wasn’t close but some questionable calls first half.

Swagner17 name literally one

Yeah your bias is showing man. This game wasn't even close. Bears were the superior team all game long and especially when it mattered.

You're high stop. This was a blow out
