85 Bears vs 07 Patriots

Ditka!!!

Bers 88, Pats maybe 2 on a late safety my friend.

I am going to have to go with the Patriots. I think that the players from the 85 Bears are to old, slow and out of shape to give them a really good game. How anyone thinks that the 85 Bears would have a chance is just crazy in my mind. What a silly question.

But what if Da Coach was allowed to play, even on defense?

the NFL network just replayed the entire XX Superbowl. It was fun to watch again, especially with my 16yo. We just laughed at how that defense made the Pats look silly. Going into half the Pats had -22 total yards. I'd put my dollar on the 85 Bears.

Defense wins championships

That'a a fallacy...look at the Patriots and Indy

85 Dolphins 38 85 Bears 24...Not really that close!

Imagine what the greatest team of all time would have done to them!!!

If the 72 Dolphins played the Pats, Manny Fernandez would break Brady's arm on the first play.

Case Closed.

Go Giants!

CPLZ,

Well of course they would do OK then. I really like your "out of the box thinking" on this question and I am kicking myself for not having thought of that myself!!

BEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

soxnole.........

You still smok'n those doobies or what????????

For some reason, you really must think that everything revolves around something in Florida!!!! When are you moving?????????

Next to the the Steelers of the seventies, there is no team that can compare to the 85 Bears defense period!!!! Period!!!!!!!!!!!!

Unfortunately, for stupid ownership, they didn't have the opportunity to challenge the Steelers Super Bowl accomplishments of that era, and my personal opinion still thinks that the 85 Bears were better than those Steelers teams, and those were great Steelers teams. My favorite. Maybe I'm wrong.

Based upon the topic posted, the 85 Bears 96, the Pats 2, and Ditka gets 12 points of the 96 because he is needed to fill-in for Gold who gets "turf toe" in the first quarter. The Pats get the two from a safety, because McMahon's headband slipped down over one-eye and he couldn't see to good having stepped out of bounds over the endline of the end zone.

DA BEARS!!!!!!!!!!!

Boomer, great to hear from you. Thanks for your post because it means that the rest of us don't have to do it! Manny Fernandez and the rest of those undersized defensive linemen would be flattened by the Pat's O line. They wouldn't get close to Brady.

Where you and I might differ is that I believe that this NE team is truly great, with an equally great head coach. Given two weeks to prepare to play the '85 Bears, I think I'd give the edge to Belichek over 'Da Coach. Sorry.

rosy.....

I love you dearly, but you must have access to the same cannibus that 'sox' has!!!

You have got to be kidding when you tell me how great a coach Bilichek is! His success was not so good before he went to Boston. When you compare Brady to McMahon, you know I have to go with Brady because of his talent. McMahon was a 'gunslinger.' Kind of a "cleaned-up" version of Dennis Rodman, who I had a love-hate feeling for, if you understand what I mean. But really, McMahon was the fuse that lit the fire under that 85 team, so I really think a lot of him.

The Pats defense can't compare to the 85 Bears, and the offense, well I don't know??? But, again, do you remember the number of 'shutout' victories the 85 team had going into the Super Bowl? Think about that. Plus, are the players the same, size and strength wise? That can also be said about the 85 team as compared to the teams of the seventies and sixties. Think about the talent within football itself, does it match-up to the talent of all those teams from that time frame or before, or after??

When you really think about it, you can never compare any team to another team from a different decade. The same is true in any sport, or if you try to compare one athlete to another. There are to many variables that will never allow an apples-to-apples comparison of talent between those teams and players of different decades. Anyone out there in "posters land" can agree or disagree with me, but when you watched that team play during that season you always thought about the Steelers from the seventies and their dynasty. I really believe that Bears team could have surpassed that Steelers team as far as greatness is concerned IF the dumb Bears ownership didn't break the team up, and you know what I mean. The Cowboys and 49er's had awesome teams, but none like the Steelers, and possibly the Bears, if they would have stayed together. JMHO

Boomer - you are the man!

Ha, Ha!

Jim...gunslinger? You bet!: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wUVsxwivkHA&feature=related



And we know Dennis liked his motorcycles... http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=1642324



And yes Boomer...Jim was a bit toned down from Dennis.:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cpa0lYgSWh0&NR=1

Corky....

Thanks my friend, but if you read the post after yours from "woody," HE, WOODY, IS THE MAN!!!!!!!!!!!

CPLZ

If the Pats defense does not do what it does in the RED ZONE---they do not give the Brady Bunch the chance to do what they and that is score when it is truly needed---TEAM GAME--remember that when it come to crunch time


By the way as an old time NYer, now in CT, I am picking the Giants in the super bowl


For the uninformed much of CT is longtime Giant fan territory

Thank you for the clarification TR because we all thought that you were a fan of the CT Cornrolls from the AFC East.

Excuse me !!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't worry TR...I think he was referring to this team...

Boomer!

Happy New Year!

Your post was 100% correct.

That is because you mentioned only the defense.

Marino, by the way, had his way with that defense.

But I will grudingly agree that the 85 Bears were great and....better than the current Pats D.

Having said that, Marino would have a field day with this 07/08 Pats D. If these Giants could score 38 then the 85 Fins might have scored 90!

Bottom Line is that the 85 Bears lost...to my team...they are NOT in consideration for any all-time anything.....except defense.(and that defense looked brutal against Marino, Clayton and Duper)

If the Pats do it, and they certainly should, then the 72 Fins are 2nd all-time.

Then you guys can continue to fight with the great Pittsburgh and 49er teams for 3rd place.

CASE CLOSED.

Not sure if they looked brutal against marino etal., maybe unlucky. I forgot but when did they produce the SB Shuffle?

Patriots 52 Bears 10.

No contest.

Hamburgers versus a real pro team.

soxnole....

Happy New Year to you as well!!!

You are forever the diplomat!! Being polite, a bit wishy-washy, never admitting that you might be wrong, and over exaggerating. You sound like a Republican who never makes mistakes. And don't you compare that Dolphin team with the Steelers of the seventies. Don't even go and say the current Pats team was better than any of those Steelers teams.

Sox, we can agree to disagree, but in the words of a certain icon, "who you crappin!!!"

XOXOXOXO
Boomer

Been....

If you are referring to the 85 Patriots vs. the 07 Bears, then I agree. If you are saying that this years Pats team would beat the 85 Bears by that score, then you and soxnole have been smoke'n to many palm tree leaves, or what ever!!!!!

Boomer

I'm with BeenThere.

If you look at the rosters (below) you will see it would not be close. New England in 2008 would smash the 1985 Bears. The NE DBs are as big or bigger than Chicago's LBs. The NE OL outweigh Bears DL by 25-30 lbs per man. Chicago did not have a QB worthy of the name, McMahon was all hat and no cattle. They had Payton, all 205 lbs and 4.6 40 of him, who would have trouble against 250 lb LBs who run 4.5 40s and benchpress 450 lbs, or 210 lb safeties who are about the same as the LBs in speed and strength.

There simply is no comparison between the athletes on the 2008 Pats and those on the 1985 Bears in terms of size, speed, and strength. The Bears might not score from the offensive side, though they could score by taking the ball away from NE through a fumble return or such. They could not counter Randy Moss, nor could their WRs (excepy maybe Willie Gault) run away from the Pat's DBs. Tom Brady would pick the Bears apart methodically and surely.

By the same token, the 1985 Bears would destroy the 1972 Dolphins for all the same reasons. The 1972 Dolphins would have matched up against the 1967 Packers, probably beat them, although the differences between late-1960s and 1970s athletes was not as large as between 1970s and 1980s, and so forth.

The best matches would be the 1990s Cowboys or late 1970s Steelers versus the 1985 Bears. Those teams may have been close athletically and size-wise.

In any case, the NFL has never been tougher, meaner, and more athletic as it is today.

Outstanding legwork TARatko. Also an outstanding post. The NFL features bigger faster and stronger players now than ever before. This really makes any comparison of teams between different eras a waste of time, though fun nonetheless.

As great as the 85 Bears defense was, it played against NFL offenses from 1985. This Pats offense is the best offense in NFL history and it is foolish to expect a team that was stallar more than two decades ago to be competitive in the modern NFL.

TAR....

My friend, it's great to hear from you, it has been a while. How is your son, your family?

Knowing that my posts would get a "rise" out of some, I can only agree. Yes, "size does make a difference!!!" Having said that, if you compare the 85 Bears/Pats teams to todays Pats/Giants, you could conceivably have a similar match-up as far as talent is concerned. When you think about it, even though New England was in the Super Bowl in 85, their team was really over matched Like I think the current game looks to be.

Been and you are correct when you talk about talent, size, whatever, and don't forget the HGH!! yes, the 2008 Pats would probably beat the 85 Bears, but how many teams did the Pats "shut-out" this past season? You still can't convince me that those shutouts the Bears had were just a fluke, no way!! If your syaing that the players of today are that much better across the league than they were back in 85, then we really shouldn't be comparing anything from era to era, should we!!!!!!

Just like in baseball, go back and check the "dead ball" era, or compare that to the the late 90's, or when the pitching mound gets raised or lowered, or when the umpires decide to tighten the strike zone. Everything is different, but close to being the same except for some variables. What I'm saying is that you really can't compare anything from player-to-player, team-to-team, era-to-era. If the Pats win Sunday, without question, they will be the "greatest" team of all time with their winning record.

Besides, if it came to comparing the 85 Bears to the 08 Pats, The Bears would still win because of the DA COACH!!! Ditka would open a can of whoop-*** on Bilacek!!!!! That breaks ALL ties, it breaks everything.

Hey Boomer. We're doing well here, Zak is at SIU Edwardsville, happy and in love...God has smiled upon him with the young lady he has been dating for the past year and a half, whom we fully expect to call our daughter-in-law one day.

And you want to know, I don't miss baseball one bit. It took some time for me to realize what a "normal" life is. I'm back into my music, my car, my career, my life, and as empty nesters Holly and I are having some fun again. In fact, I tell folk it's "clothing optional" at our house so you had better ring the bell before coming in...Plus, we bought a place on the beach on Longboat Key, Florida and spend as much time there as we can. I'm waiting for a grandson to help along, knowing what I wished I'd known 5-10 years ago about baseball and what it takes, if you get my drift.

From my few recent visits to the HSBBW, it seems your guy is enjoying school, doing well, and progressing at Rochester (?). That's great. Hope thing are going well for you and your wife and family.

As for the 1985 Bears versus 2008 Pats, I have to hold my position - no contest, Pats have too much size, speed, and talent. How would the Bears counter, just for one example, DE Richard Seymour at 6'6" 310 lbs and likely a sub-5 second 40? Tom Brady is as big as, or bigger than, all three Bears LBs. The Pats LB are all at least 245-250 and 6'3" or 4". I'll take Maroney over Payton in todays game, no contest. Randy Moss at 6'4" and 220 versus 6' 180 Willie Gault? Same speed, vastly different sizes. Size wins.

Take care my friend, good luck this season. I'll think of you when I'm sitting on the beach in March, 80 degrees, sipping a cold one, rather than sitting on a bleacher somewhere it's 45 degrees and sleeting...

In a mythical game between the 85 Bears and 07 Pats you would have to assume that the 85 Bears would have been on the same steady diet of HGH that all current NFL players are on which would negate the size difference.

TAR, my friend!!!!.........

To hell with the Bears, and with the PATS! I'm waiting for baseball!!!!!!! Glad to hear everyone is doing well. Don't rush the wedding and grand kids yet. Our twin grand-daughters from our second oldest daugther are a handful. And when you talk about clothes vs. no-clothes, well forget the wedding, future daughter-in-law, grand kids, everything, there is nothing like re-bonding with the woman that is partially responsible for the two of you being together. Sorry "bud," but I really don't want to picture you without those clothes!!!

Anyway, I do like the T.V. commercial where the couple wind-up in the bath tubs with some spectacular views, not to mention the female torso. That would be kind of nice, especially with a cool-one or two!!!

Andy's doing great at Rochester, and for the first time since entering first grade, he did not have all 'A's'!!! A girlfriend, now an ex-, baseball, and a tough Biomedical Engineering program have kept him busy. He has played in several men's baseball leagues over the last two summers, and is planning on doing a Bio-Medical Internship this summer in addition to the baseball. God love him for his determination and focus.

Mom and me will be down in Tampa and Orlando from the 7th of March until the 16th with Andy's team. Longboat Key, you say, that's really funny since I'm here in Longshovel La Grange!

It's good to hear from you my friend, and please, send everyone my "best!!!" No clothes huh!!! What a guy!!!

Boomer:

Is Rochester going to the IMG Academies Spring Collegiate program? I know you said Tampa and Orlando, so likely you'll be at the Disney facility for a time. But where in Tampa? We'll be on LBK from March 10-21, not too far away...

TAR....

They start their regular spring schedule the 8th against Drew University, and play at Florida College in Tampa. The next two days, they play conference doubleheaders against Skidmore College, again in Tampa, but this time at Miller Huggins Stadium. They haven't done the conference games out of town before, but because the weather in New York in March and April has been bad, they decided to play them in Florida so they could at least get the games in. They lost 6 games due to weather last season.

Then on Tuesday they start their UAA (United Athletic Association) tournament against Emory, Brandeis, Case Western, and Washington University. These games are all played in Sanford north of Orlando. These games are played at Sanford Memorial Stadium. The tournament ends on the 15th.

I guess we can all say it NOW....da BEARS

Seems pretty obvious now doesn't it?

Very obvious:

72 Dolphins are all alone @ the TOP!

Da Bears can be # 2.

wogdoggy.....

I think you are referring to the Wash. U. Bears?



soxnole.....

I'm glad the Giants won, the Dolphins record is still intact, but the Bears still suck!!!! Maybe that 85 championship was just a mirage????????????

Boomer......

The 85 Bears are #2 all-time.

It's the current bunch that suck!

Btw, your too old to be a Sox and Bears fan.

The 85 Bears would have murdered the 72 Dolphins offense!
