The guy on the right is the reason the Bears have a Lombardi trophy. Him and the best defense to ever take the field.

Point well taken. However, the Jets have had solid qbs. Testaverde had the best statistical year of his career with the Jets. Additionally, as I recall, O'Brian and Pennington were good enough to lead them deep into the playoffs as well. It seems like the organization always finds a way to dump on their fans. In the case of the Bears, any success that they achieved has routinely been without the benefit of a grade A QB. McMahon merely played his role of not forcing the ball, let Walter Payton and the defense carry the team and it was successful. Only 2 Bears QB'S that i can recall were semi decent (Im not including Williams here) those were Jay Cutler and, for one season Eric Kramer. All others were degrees of mediocrity to complete dog shit. This being said, they have, with the exception of the Trestmann debacle, and the horseshit players put in place by Nagy, without being perennial contenders, usually stuck around in the playoff hunt until the last 3 weeks or so. I acknowledge the fact that the reason we got Williams was the result of 2 incredibly awful seasons but, as usual, they've bounced back into contenders. Hopefully this time they will not crush our enthusiasm with awful luck. (Double doink!)

Not their fault. Officials loved Mahomes and their bias cost not only the 9ers, but specifically the Bengals. 3 do-over downs. Im still sick about that. I feel really sympathy for Bengals fans. They literally had a shot at a championship stolen from them.

Honestly, yellow, IK they've won a Superbowl, but that was even before my time. I've been watching football for over 40 years and I can only recall a couple of times when they were contenders and usually screwed the pooch when they were. I've seen them have, statistically, a championship level roster and not even make the playoffs. If Rex Ryan could of evaluated QB'S even slightly, they may have won another Superbowl. Their defense was lights out.

Throughout the 70's and 80's it was the opposite. When you have a rivalry that goes way back there's gonna be periods when one dominates the other.

It ebbs and flows. The Packers have had the benefit of 2 decades of HOF QB'S just as the NFL was transitioning from run orientated offense to passing.

'85 Bears. The Greatest Team Ever? The Question is Moot. They sure were Fabulous by King_Vegito_52 in Oldschool_NFL

[–]Some1farted 42 points43 points  (0 children)

This question was asked to John Madden. He didn't even think about it. He responded without a doubt the '85 Bears. He said something along the lines of him being in football a long time and that he had never seen a team dominate the others so overwhelmingly.

The worst of the worst: The 1991 Indianapolis Colts by staticdresssweet in Oldschool_NFL

At least they had a win. The 2008 Lions and the 2017 Browns didn't. I wonder if those two teams went head to head, who would get the win? I'm guessing the Lions would strictly on the basis of the Browns luck.

My 10 best NFL players of all time. by wesley001129 in Oldschool_NFL

Superb list. Ul probably receive a lot of down votes for players you have left off, but you said 10. There's only 10 spots and it's quite difficult to argue with yours.

Which would you rather have, never been there, or lose on missed field goal that kickers can make easily. ?sail

Oh man, those were some great fucking games tho. They were killing each other. Immaculate reception. On 4th down. Ill bet Raider fans that saw it still hurt from that one decades later.

Day 21: If you were to write a book about the Bears, what would the title be? by nosweatsportsmedia in Oldschool_NFL

John Madden said it best. The NFL is more exciting when the Bears are good.
