Buddy took the game that they lost VERY SERIOUS. Towards the end of the interview when he said "It doesn't hurt" he looks ready to tear up. He took the loss pretty hard.
Terrell Oliver His point is that Parcells, Walsh and Gibbs won multiple SBs while Ditka and Ryan couldn't win w/out each other. Ditka deserves exactly 0 credit for the '85 season. That was all Buddy's D and McMahon ignoring Ditka's awful play calling and calling his own plays.
Yup. Gibbs was especially interesting because he delegated responsibilities and knew to stay out of his lane. He was the offensive genius but he let Pettibone do his thing one defense.
Always felt like the only thing that could beat them that year was marinos quick release and Dwight Stephenson the hall of fame center who actually opposed the 46 defence and probably one of the only answers to such a dominant defence
@@lildic0146 Great offensive mind?? The GOAT Walter Payton was already there and it's not like the Bears became some passing machine. How was that great Ditka offense in New Orleans?
@@stephendrawdy724 never said Ditka was good in New Orleans and all that attention that the opposing team put on pwaltet Peyton is what allowed the hicago pass game to thrive ,the opposing teams would overload the box cause they were scared of the run with gave receivers 1on 1s
This whole feud reminds me of David Lee Roth vs. Van Halen. Buddy Ryan was Diamond Dave and 86-92 Ditka became Van Hagar. In both relationships, neither one had as much success alone and their egos didn't allow them to acknowledge that.
Pretty much what started it all is that when Neil Armstrong was fired(head coach before Ditka) George Halas personally told his defensive players that there coaches would be back next season. So when Mike Ditka was hired he inherited a defensive staff and could not hire his own defensive assistant coaches. When a new head coach has to keep a previous staff and hire his own there can be problems. And FWIW it was the defensive players who wrote a letter to Halas to encourage him to keep the defensive staff as they felt they were getting better.
Ditka and Ryan needed each-other. However, neither one of them realized it, and in the process the Bear defense left Chicago, when Buddy left the Bears.
to be fair statistically speaking the bears defense was better the following years after 85, but their offense was worse so they couldn't get it done. in 85 the bears had a top 5 offense in the years after it wasn't even top half of the league..........the defense didn't leave with buddy but the offense wasn't good enough anymore to help the defense out the way it did in 85.
The irony is if Buddy had simply hired some offensive specialist, someone like Mike Martz or Jim Caldwell, (not literally them but their mid 80's equivalent) and delegated total responsibility to him (like he expected from Ditka) the Eagles probably win a couple super bowls
@@mrHoppedupford Marino could have met the bears in the 85 superbowl but he CHOKED against the Patriots at home and the dolphins got stomped 38 to 14 at home in miami! How embarrassing! Then the bears stomped the Patriots 46-10! You still wanna run your mouth? Buddy got his super bowl ring! Marino got nothing!
The whole feud was one-sided in my opinion. Buddy Ryan was pissed off at the fact that the late George Halas named Mike Ditka the head coach of the Bears and not him so his grudge in many ways was with George Halas and not Mike Ditka. So Buddy Ryan took out the animosity and made it a personal grudge against George Halas through Mike Ditka.
And Ditka more than likely didn't like him because Papa George made Ditka keep him and the entire defensive coaching staff. Ditka didn't get to name his own coaching staff. When that happens there is bound to be tension. And I thing Halas didn't name Buddy because the Bears had been a pretty bad team in 1981 with a weak offense so he needed a coach with that background
If Ryan had a grudge against Halas, it was a slight one. Whenever someone asked, "Buddy, how was it working for Mike Ditka?" his reply was always, "I didn't work for Mike Ditka. I worked for George Halas and the McCaskeys."
Ted Plumb is hilariously funny. Could I imagine how much fun it would be having a few cold ones listening to his stories? I kept going back to hear the choke story. Then I almost choked.
Buddy Ryan was a great defensive coach, indifferent to offense. Ditka was just a dummy who lucked into a good team. His Saints tenure showed what a joke he was.
thfzn What's your point? He said Buddy was indifferent to offense. Buddy's failures don't make Ditka's failures successes. Pzsoke is right. Ditka lucked into a good team that had a magical year.
Musicvidsetc Ditka built that team. He didn't luck into anything. The Bears were terrible before he was coach. Bears were good for an extended period of time after Ryan left. If QB stays healthy the Bears probably win at least one more in a era of really great teams (Giants, 49ers, Redskins)
I know some critics will say that Buddy Ryan underachieved as head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles, but man,...I enjoyed watching Buddy Ball! I honestly can't recall too many football games in which the Eagles lost badly. Of course, I remembered to this day the 20-6 loss and blunder against the Redskins. What can I say, Joe Gibbs coaching style at that time was only 2nd to Bill Walsh. Buddy Ryan at that time was going up against a genius head coach and Buddy did not X and O too well. At that time, the Eagles were touted as the best team no one wanted to play against during the 1990 playoffs. And shortly Buddy got fired. To this day, I still wish that the Eagles did not fire Ryan. It may have not made a difference against the Cowboys becoming a dynasty, but it would have been much more exciting than the coach Kotite debacle Eagles fans had to endure. The Eagles definitely lost most of their identity without Buddy Ryan after 1990. That period was hard to swallow for a lot of Philly fans. But oh well.
Hey! We finally got it (Lombardy trophy)... But those times were definitely dark for an Eagles fan. Buddy Ryan was definitely a great defensive coach but I was definitely Amazed by Jim Johnson as well... And now we got Jim Schwartz Feels pretty good to be an Eagles fan nowadays. But after all these years we finally got the trophy...
I absolutely love Randall Cunningham he is the Original Michael Vick and he is the first man that ever ran for 1000 yards as a quarterback. He also holds the record for the longest point in NFL history and the longest pass. If only he had wide receivers
Ryan cost the Bears a perfect season by consistently blitzing the fastest release in the NFL. Oh to have a healthy McMahon for that game and just let the front four do their job ...
Check out those knitted team sweaters they're both rockin' in the thumbnail. All coaches should have to wear one, and all teams should be required to make a rap song against their rivalry lol
even though am a Liverpool football supporter, the things Everton do for EX players, in UK the Vance would have been helped, what a sweet man.......and courage, thankfully he played for the Broncos and the Amigos xx
Bears fan here. Ditka is one of the most overrated NFL coaches of all time. Only won one super bowl. Ryan's defense was necessary for the Bears to be a dynasty, but too much ego got in the way
Chicago Born and Raised. Ditka is still adored in Chicago, but often wonder if HoF RB (Payton) and amazing D covered up his poor play calling/coaching? FOG BOWL was 1st NFL/Football game I ever saw...eerie experience. (BEAR DOWN)
Buddy & Mike were like Gilbert & Sullivan. Buddy & Mike were great together, but hated each other. Gilbert & Sullivan made great music, but hated each other
Because of Ditka's petty jealousy of Ryan, he abandoned the "46" defense as soon as Ryan left - and never got near a Super Bowl, again. That team should have won at lest three more, in a row. FACT: The following season after the Super Bowl win, the Bears actually used the "46" defense 27 times, with no play gaining positive yardage, 9 sacks, 8 turnovers, with 5 forced fumbles and 3 picks with two for TD's. Tom Landry once stated that he had three great defenses - the Doomsday, Umbrella and Flex - and he didn't change them until the NFL caught up with them. But not Cementhead Ditka...............SMH.............
Buddy should have remained in Chicago; but I can give Buddy Ryan pointers for perusing his dream of wanting to be a Head-coach in the NFL. But he was a better Defensive Coordinator, versus Head-coach. He should have been inducted into the Hall Of Fame, as a Defensive Coordinator. Because Ryan and Ditka assembled the best defense there ever was, and they won a championship in 1985, together. Ryan and Ditka needed each-other.
One of the most underrated LBs ever he was probably the best coverage LB I ever saw. I'm a Dolphin fan and my best friend from my teenage years loved the Eagles. He would remind everybody how good Seth was.
Mike Ditka would DESTROY Buddy Ryan. If you are a football fan, watch highlights of Ditka play. He was a BEAST. For someone my age (born in 1987), I have only known Mike Ditka as a football coach, and a television analyst. I knew he played for Bears and Cowboys at end of his career. But i never really watched him play. After watching him play, he was an undeniably GREAT, tough, dominant, and smart football player. Buddy Ryan seemed to be a very good coach and tactician, but he does not compare to Mike Ditka.
@No Name Can't blame Ditka for losimg players, that was the Halas family holding the purse strings. Ditka was an under-rated coach - few men alive could have coralled such a bunch of wild horses and make them pull in the same direction.
Years later Ditka made a statement by asking a question: "How many super bowls did either win without the other"? Regardless of whether Buddy had stayed, the dilemma of the 80's Bears would have remained even if the defense continued as the best in football! Everyone seems to forget that the key to the Bears repeating as the 70's Steelers had, centered around the QB position! Opponents knew that without Jim McMahon at QB, the Bears' offense was 1 dimensional & they would stack against the run! Even with a (Greatest of all-time) RB like Walter, their opponents knew Steve Fuller & Mike Tomczak weren't going to beat them throwing the football deep! Ditka's ball control offense was taylor made for defenses bringing everyone up near the line of scrimmage! Because of that fact, at least 2 or more defenders could shadow Payton on every play! Only a QB capable of going deep (accurately & consistently) kept those linebackers & defensive backs honest! If Jim McMahon had stayed healthy (all season) from 84' to 90', the Chicago Bears have a legitimate shot of equaling or eclipsing the 70's Steelers mark of 4 Super Bowls in 6 years!
@@stephendrawdy724That’s not a fact. Ditka was 4 - 0 vs Ryan. The Bears had 5 seasons with double digit wins after Ryan left. Ryan never won a playoff game with the most talented D in the league and the most electrifying QB at the time.
Man oh man that 1985 bears team was stacked and full of talent....After winning superbowl 20 and letting buddy ryan leave for the eagles, the bears never won another superbowl again...shame on the bears for letting buddy ryan leave and had buddy ryan stayed the bears couldve won many superbowls....rip buddy ryan....
Buddy Ryan one of the all-time biggest jerks in all of sports. Truth be told while the Bears were competitive for many years after super bowl XX. That being said Ditka never won the big one ever again without Buddy. Buddy was the mastermind behind that legendary Defense.
If Buddy instilled any amount of discipline in his teams, who knows how many championships he would have? The Eagles teams he coached were tremendously talented. The Oilers teams he coached also were supremely talented, but never won anything that mattered.
He was a cancer in that 93 Oilers locker room. As much as he helped the defense, he hurt the rest of the team. Not to mention the silly cheap shot he tried to land on Gilbride on national TV
It isn't Ryan's fault that they didn't win a Super Bowl. they did have great teams. Just were just in the wrong division. That NFC east was pretty tough. Once everyone figure out how to beat the 46 defense, the fix was in. Miami used the short passing game, and Joe Gibbs used max protect version of the Don Coryell offensive to beat the 46.
Two authentic, arrogant warriors who only know war, not emotions. With Buddy & Mike, you always knew where you stood, that moment. No falsity. No deceit. No games. If you weren't ready to fight and suffer, you didn't get their respect. This internal battle is nothing different than our generic human history. It's always a battle. The more honest the warriors and generals, the better for all, even the losers. Our world is losing this fighting spirit more every day. The shadow of woke weakness is infiltrating every aspect of secular society, even our professional warriors: our nation's military. Arrogance is destructive, just look at George Patton, Donald Trump and George Soros. There is evil all around. We'll always need courageous, selfless, un-woke warriors to defend virtue. When we lose the warriors, we lose. Period.

Thanks for educating me.
He was emotional for his young players of that EAGLES team. They played their hearts out is what he took so hard.
While Mike Ditka and Buddy Ryan were bickering like teenagers, Bill Walsh, Bill Parcells, and Joe Gibbs were busy winning Super Bowls.
Exactly. Honestly if Mcmahon stayed injury free, the Bears would have won more super bowls. Their defense was still excellent without Ryan
Terrell Oliver His point is that Parcells, Walsh and Gibbs won multiple SBs while Ditka and Ryan couldn't win w/out each other. Ditka deserves exactly 0 credit for the '85 season. That was all Buddy's D and McMahon ignoring Ditka's awful play calling and calling his own plays.

dennis gadulka yea but it was good for fooball
Yup. Gibbs was especially interesting because he delegated responsibilities and knew to stay out of his lane. He was the offensive genius but he let Pettibone do his thing one defense.
Actually, the beginning of the rivalry was when Mike Ditka was named the head coach of the Bears.
Buddy the defensive mind to ever be
True.....Buddy wanted the job and was resentful he didn’t get it.
Yet Buddy chose to stay around for four season under Ditka
💯
As much as they despised each other, Mike and Buddy accomplished more together than they did apart.
But only Ditka was able to acknowledge that. Ryan couldn't.
Exactly a great offensive mind in Mike ditka and one of the greatest defensive minds in football history in Buddy Ryan equated in a superbowl in 85

Ditka wanted the bears to switch to the cowboy style.
Buddy disagreed.
Ditka and Ryan needed each-other. However, neither one of them realized it, and in the process the Bear defense left Chicago, when Buddy left the Bears.
When you have the best defense ever, there is only one direction to go.
Even a third grader can figure that out.
After Ditka retired he said "I didn't win another Super Bowl without him and he didn't win one without me. It was symbiotic."

Opponents knew that without Jim McMahon at QB, the Bears' offense was 1 dimensional & they would stack against the run! Even with a (Greatest of all-time) RB like Walter, their opponents knew Steve Fuller & Mike Tomczak weren't going to beat them throwing the football deep! Ditka's ball control offense was taylor made for defenses bringing everyone up near the line of scrimmage! Because of that fact, at least 2 or more defenders could shadow Payton on every play! Only a QB capable of going deep (accurately & consistently) kept those linebackers & defensive backs honest! If Jim McMahon had stayed healthy (all season) from 84' to 90', the Chicago Bears have a legitimate shot of equaling or eclipsing the 70's Steelers mark of 4 Super Bowls in 6 years!
Buddy Ryan deserves most of the credit for the 85 Bears...if only he cared about offense. Those Eagles team couldve been SB champs.
Where's the rest of it? What film is this from?

Human centipede
Buddy was such a great coach, it only took him 20 years as an assistant to get a head coaching job.
He accomplished more without Ditka than Ditka did without him. Facts.
@@stephendrawdy724That’s not a fact. Ditka was 4 - 0 vs Ryan. The Bears had 5 seasons with double digit wins after Ryan left. Ryan never won a playoff game with the most talented D in the league and the most electrifying QB at the time.
Man oh man that 1985 bears team was stacked and full of talent....After winning superbowl 20 and letting buddy ryan leave for the eagles, the bears never won another superbowl again...shame on the bears for letting buddy ryan leave and had buddy ryan stayed the bears couldve won many superbowls....rip buddy ryan....
@Moe Snert true that...bears have some bad coaching thru the years..
Buddy Ryan one of the all-time biggest jerks in all of sports. Truth be told while the Bears were competitive for many years after super bowl XX. That being said Ditka never won the big one ever again without Buddy. Buddy was the mastermind behind that legendary Defense.
I’m sure the multiple hall of fame players and pro bowlers didn’t have anything to do with it
If Buddy instilled any amount of discipline in his teams, who knows how many championships he would have? The Eagles teams he coached were tremendously talented. The Oilers teams he coached also were supremely talented, but never won anything that mattered.
He was a cancer in that 93 Oilers locker room. As much as he helped the defense, he hurt the rest of the team. Not to mention the silly cheap shot he tried to land on Gilbride on national TV
I am sad that Jim Shorts, & Chet Chitchat was not a part of this show.
Kev Heads must UNITE!!!
gotta love mike ditka, reminds me of my dad with the cigars and whiskey
It isn't Ryan's fault that they didn't win a Super Bowl. they did have great teams. Just were just in the wrong division. That NFC east was pretty tough. Once everyone figure out how to beat the 46 defense, the fix was in. Miami used the short passing game, and Joe Gibbs used max protect version of the Don Coryell offensive to beat the 46.
Yes it was Buddy's fault !!!! Who was the head coach of the Eagles ?
That Philly Team Shoulda Had A Ring😈
John Cusak is the narrator. Great actor. Mike was a Great coach...but so was Buddy.
i think if the bears and eagles made music videos it could really help turn their seasons around
Two authentic, arrogant warriors who only know war, not emotions. With Buddy & Mike, you always knew where you stood, that moment. No falsity. No deceit. No games. If you weren't ready to fight and suffer, you didn't get their respect. This internal battle is nothing different than our generic human history. It's always a battle. The more honest the warriors and generals, the better for all, even the losers. Our world is losing this fighting spirit more every day. The shadow of woke weakness is infiltrating every aspect of secular society, even our professional warriors: our nation's military. Arrogance is destructive, just look at George Patton, Donald Trump and George Soros. There is evil all around. We'll always need courageous, selfless, un-woke warriors to defend virtue. When we lose the warriors, we lose. Period.
Just relax
Well it happens again
Bears vs eagles in playoffs history repeats itself
Buddy did some good things as a DC, exceptional in 84 & 85, but failed in Houston and Phoenix. Never won a playoff game as a head coach.
A football life buddy Ryan would be very interesting
