As great of a runner as Sweetness was, let's take a moment to appreciate the absolute hammer blow blocks he dropped during passing plays. He will forever be my favorite player.
I love how The 15-1 defending champs got absolutely MANHANDLED. This game is just further proof that the 1985 Bears were easily the GREATEST single-season team ever.
Jim McMan got the job done that year but was clearly no franchise QB . Had the aBears had a legit franchise QB I think they could have won multiple rings despite the high level of competition in the NFC in the 80
@@mmeatheadddyea a 32 year old running back in his 11th year in the league still running like that! 1500 yards that season. The team as a whole ran for over 2700 yards! Jim McMahon only threw for 2300 yards that year! Different times obviously. Oh yea, Payton also threw the ball 5 times for 90 yards and a TD that year lol. Guy could do it all
As a kid watching that game, I remember the pressure was so relentless, that the 49ers got called for holding all day long. It killed many of their drives. The game was actually closer than the score indicated though. only 16-10 entering the 4th quarter and the 49ers gave them short fields with two turnovers twice. Anyways the 84 49ers and the 85 Bears were awesome teams to watch for different reasons. Just think if you could have put the 49ers offense with the Bears Defense.

only reason the bears did not win more super bowls was due to the Charles Martin cheap shot!if you dont know what that is then watch this ruclips.net/video/Ev3prLKRLzs/видео.html
I’m a 49ers fan and remember theses game that was best bears defensive team ever but inner had there number by far bill wash figured how to beat the buddy ryan blitz
@@joseantoniodiaz998 the bears and 49ers split 50/50 every time they played from like 1982 to 1988. the 49ers beat the bears twice in the playoffs so thats all people like you remember. just like in 1988 we each won one game against each other.
No excuses for San Francisco against the 1985 Bears. That said, Walsh moved Lott to FS in this game and Dwight Hicks to CB and it was a mess for Hicks. Fred Dean was gassed and had nothing left and regretted not retiring. The 49ers didn't even win their division in '85 and would go on to lose the Wild Card game against the Giants, 17-3. They were a mess and after that season Walsh drafted Rathman, Haley, Fagan, John Taylor, Tim Mckyer, Don Griffin, Larry Roberts, and Steve Wallace to replace a lot of old guys from the '81-'84 run. The '85 Bears were the youngest team in the league and out for blood against S.F.
The Bears have the 85 Bears. The 49's have five Super Bowls in a thirteen year span. In 1984 the Niners thumped the 1984 Championship game. Then in frigid Chicago in 88, they thump them again. After 85 the Bears went back in hibernation.
Stop feeling sorry for your sorry ass 49ers they go their asses kicked. You should have accepted that by now. 49ers are so great and they go their asses beat down by the Big Tuna, and LT drove your bitch ass QB into the ground. So, I wouldn't be too happy. Get over it.
Although Buddy Ryan’s 46 defense destroyed Steve Young in a game between the 49ers and Houston Oilers, I think the short passing game and targets like Jerry Rice and John Taylor would have created some huge pass plays that would have elevated the 49ers to a big win much the way Dan Marino picked apart the ‘85 Bears on a Monday Night game.
well the thing is the bears and 49ers split all their games from like 1982-1988, its just that people think the 49ers "owned" the bears cause they only remember the two nfccg losses the bears had vs the 49ers in 84 and 88. bears beat the 49ers in 1988 but lost to them in the rematch in the nfccg.
You can see the downside of the 46 even in this game. If the quarterback can get the ball off, the scheme is vulnerable to the quick pass to a checkdown receiver - who has no one to tackle him.

Montana would’ve carved Buddy Ryan’s defense apart like a Turkey. Get out of here with this BS . The 85 bears were a blip in History. More story than substance. 49ers were the team of the 80’. The 89 Niners vs the 85 Bears= Niners barely break a sweat beat them by 20
This was Buddy Ryan’s defense here. Montana was on his ass most of the game, lol. What happened, fanboyeeeee? SF’s only TD was a pick-6 against that great D, at Candlestick. I will say though that only one Super Bowl win was an underachievement. Ditka was overrated. SF beats ‘85 Bears by 20? I want what you’re smoking😆
@@Lucille69caddy - 1st I’ll say I loved Buddy Ryan and for that time his 46 was amazing. Teams figured it out. Joe actually tapped out Ryan in the K.C. vs Houston Playoffs 93(stop him from blitzing)As a child I loved the 49ers until Joe left. The Bears had the most mediocre offense ever. For Christ sakes the 88 49ers slapped the Bears around 28-3 at soldier Field... the 89 49ers I truely believe would destroy them...they destroyed everyone that year
@@earthwormjim2003 - while I love Buddy Ryan the Bears offense let’s be honest - sucked. I couldn’t even guess a name of a WR from that team(not that they’d throw the ball anyway) when I say more story I mean- as the year and decades go by the 85 Bears grow in story how great they were... The truth is the NFL needed to catchup to What Buddy was Doing- sure they had a great defense but where did that get them after 85? Kudos to the 85 Bears they were the best team in 85. In 88 the 49ers crushed them in their own stadium. Arguably the best 49ers team ever 89 vs the 85 Bears would be like watching a pro team vs a college team. At best they put up 10 points and at best they hold the 49ers to 30 because their offense was mediocre.
@@johndunne3609 Buddy left after the ‘85 season, as did Otis Wilson. The Bears as a team were never the same after that, although they’re D actually got statistically better under Vince Tobin. McMahon always got hurt (if Montana got hurt as much as McMahon, the Niners would have been an afterthought). Ditka, as I said before, was overrated. You or I could have coached that ‘85 team to a Bowl. They should have won one, maybe two more. The ‘89 SF team may or may not have been able to beat the ‘85 Bears. We will never know. Without knowing how to adapt at that time to that vaunted Bears D, the ‘89 SF team would have faired no better than this ‘85 SF team. Two consecutive playoff shutouts (the only time that’s ever been done), en route to a SB blowout against NE, the team that blew out Miami, the team that gave the Bears they’re only season loss. NO TEAM would have beat that ‘85 Bears team in the SB. NOBODY. It’s always easy to say things in hindsight. As time goes on, teams adapt to different strategies accordingly. If not, that is the very definition of insanity.
People are still talking about the '85 bears. Brady pretty much ended talk about the 49ers dynasty. If you don't have something special to talk about, you get forgotten.

Greatest single season goes to the 17-0 dolphins. I’m a 9er and even i gotta humble myself

Two years in a row chicago punches last year's super bowl champs in the mouth
Great yes. Only one super bowl with that team. Not good enough
And then they roughed up the giants in 87 on MNF

Curious the outcome of the 1984 NFC championship if Jimmy Mac plays for the Bears. Maybe 49ers still win and maybe they don’t. Just a thought.

Historically, they are like 35 and 32, 9ers. Many of the 9er wins were blowouts
85 bears would smack any of those niner teams

The only thing stopping the Bears from a 3peat was the Hogs. Give some credit to Darrell Greens hurdling abilities.
The 9ers were all coke out after winning that 84 superbowl 😁
I had no idea Jerry Rice played
He dropped many passes. He also fumbled away a sure TD in his playoff game against the NY Criminals.
