1985. No offence needed that year!
That was different. The 45 defense was unstoppable at the time kind of a reverse of where we are today with all the rule changes favering the O. The 45 D would seek and destroy QBS and receivers and you can’t do that anymore. The 85 Bears did have great athletes on their D most were all home grown pro players not FAs.
Raiders moving to Las Vegas so that will lessen the log jam in the Bay Area. Funny I was thinking of expansion cities and not much left without an NFL market.Looks like I have been schooled!
Shows what I know and don't know. Result of not following the NFL closely for 15 years!
LA has two teams now? Sheesh. Greedy.

Yep off by 1 digit also Buddy nicknamed the 46 after Doug Planks number for his viscous hits on everyone always leading with his head on every tackle. I used to wonder how Plank didn’t have scrambled eggs for a brain he was such a full speed head first hitter.Most people dont kno or realize but in 85 the bears had the 2nd ranked offense in league, granite the D helped inflate some of those numbers
And WD the defense was called the 4-6
As far as today Ryan pace needs to get sum awknowledment he has absolutely transformed the bears.

The Bears already beat MN in Chi. The last game is in MN. If the Bears are already locked into a playoff position I would have to believe most of the starters will sit. They will probably be the no 3 seed. No way are they going to leapfrog NO and the Rams. For that matter MN might well be out of it by then and a bunch of them will sit too. If that happens the NFL will probably flex them into a 3 AM kickoff in Bangaladesh.
Saints loss was nice, only 1 game out from 2 teams for a bye. Be huge to get homefield for bears......saints and rams at home different than road
