The problem with Montana is the younger generation just doesn’t understand how difficult it was to play in an era of true bump and run where the QB could be annihilated! Joe is the best ever because of many reasons, he played the best and beat the best in the most dominant conference era in history. Not to mention Joe could do it all and won 2 without Rice.
Brady and Belichick would have shredded that 46 defense. Sorry guys... I watched and loved Montana and the Niners but Brady and the no huddle would have the 85 Bears gassed and guessing. Buddy Ryan took a lot of chances-- and Brady would have made him pay... EVERY TIME. I don't care about 'bump and run'- Gronk, Edelman & Randy would have adjusted.
@@cloudysalsa I'll take 7 over 4 any day. even montana said brady was the goat. Typical ignorant and very old montana fanboys clinging on to nothing LMAO Chumps
Joe had the most graceful precise foot work of any quarterback. It was a joy to watch how he commanded the pocket. He ran the offense like a conductor leading an orchestra.
When Montana played defensive backs were allowed to make contact beyond 3 yards of the line of scrimmage. Defensive lineman were allowed to level a quarterback, no silly touches as today. Bottom line Montana had to navigate against real defense and league rules that made passing much more difficult than today.
Truer words were never spoken without a doubt the most dominant error in the conference and the greatest teams with the greatest defenses and definitely defensive player could destroy a quarterback just about not to mention wide receivers as you said I got bumped within 3 yards the d-backs were all over the receivers then
Thank you for your comments. NFL, NBA, and MLB all have made their respective leagues offensive production much easier based on changes in their rules and how their games are officiated..
This was played on my birthday after an incredible personal experience just a few days before. One of the happiest 49er memories of my life to this day although I have moved on.
You can tell by the footwork, release and over calmness that Brady got from Montana. There’s definitely a MJ / Kobe dynamic going on. Montana was great at winning games and I do think he was very talented even when compared to natural generational talent like Marino and Elway.
Hey Tom was great among th greatest until he an his old Coach did wht they did change all tht ok I don't if u have kids are not but I do know this you don't teach them to #1 lie #2 steal #3 cheat s
Joe Montana played against the 1985 Bears at Candlestick. His stats were 17-29-116 with 0 TD and 0 INT. He was sacked 7 times. They lost 26-10 with the offense only scoring a field goal. In 1983, He played against the Bears at Soldier Field and lost 13-3. His stats were 26-43-218 with 0 TD and 2 INT and was sacked five times. In 1984, in the NFC Championship at Candlestick he won 23-0. His Stats were 18-34-225 with 1 TD and 2 INT and was sacked three times. The game is available on RUclips and watching it will show that the 49ers won that game with defense and special teams. The Bears defense simply got worn out midway through the 3rd Quarter because the offense had so many 3 and outs. Steve Fuller, the Bears backup QB threw less than 100 yards. The halftime score was 6-0. Also for what it's worth, Chicago Bear All-Pro Strong Safety Todd Bell started and played cornerback because of injuries. Joe Montana simply didn't do well against Buddy Ryan coached Bear defenses.
The 85 Bears was the best defense of all time, in my opinion. This one wasn't even close. If I remember, the 85 Bears beat Walsh and the 49ers at Candlestick
@@JohnDoe-fd6wf you can only play against 1 defense at a time 😂😂. He was specifically talking about this game which wasn't the best defense of all time
The Bears defense was great for that one 85 season only. The Niners beat them up the rest of the time that decade, including 3 shutouts and a 28-3 victory in this game.
Montana was the best and the 49s were a great team in the 1980s but the Bears were a great defense for most of the 1980s. The difference in 1985 is that McMahon was healthy.
Montana was the greatest QB in my opinion, but it didn't hurt him that he was throwing to undoubtedly the best WR of all time in Jerry Rice. That first TD throw was good, but once he had the ball Rice made it look like he was playing against a couple high school kids.
Montana easily outplayed Marino in the Super Bowl as against the dolphins. When they played the NFC championship as against the bears in Chicago in the late 80s, only die hard 49er fans like me gave them a chance and you know what happened,,,
Where do y’all rank all time in terms all players, not just QB? I think his 4th spot on NFL top 100 players of all time was well deserved , pretty accurate.
Against some of the brutal defenses of the 80s/90s, IN THE PLAYOFFS: Joe's offense (with Jerry Rice) scored 3 points: 17-3 Joe's offense (with Jerry Rice) scored 3 points: 49-3, and he got KO'ed by Jim Burt while throwing a pick-6 to Lawrence Taylor. Joe's offense (with Jerry Rice) scored 13 points: 15-13, and he got KO'ed by Leonard Marshall, which took him almost 2 years to recover. Joe's offense scored 6 points: 30-13, and he got a concussion while being sacked by Bruce Smith, Phil Hansen and Jeff Wright.
The Bears defense was done by this point. Dent out, Hampton shot, Marshall gone, Wilson gone, Fencik gone, they were on their last legs. Replaced by cheaper, inferior talent. By this time the McCadkey family was in charge. Same as now. Nice game by Joe though
The Bears were still very good on defense in 1988, but they lacked the dynamic aspect they had years earlier. Buddy Ryan leaving, players aging, and most importantly bad drafting had made a defense that was still very good but not scary.
People today get excited when they see Mahomes or Allen throw the ball side arm on the move. Montana could throw the ball from any position going in any direction and didn't matter if his feet where on the ground or not. Not only did he have superior decision making for what he was known for but his ability to be fluid throwing the ball from every position is unmatched. basically threw a jump shot pass to rice while floating backwards. crazy stuff and impossible to defend
Well let's be a little more clear in the title description; this isn't the "Greatest Defense of All Time" anymore. This is the 1988-89 Chicago Bears Defense which was a pale shadow of the 1985 Chicago Bears Defense.
@cloudysalsa Bro your title is correct! This may not be the greatest defensive years ever for the Bears. But this is still one of the greatest defensive units ever... thus your title.
It was a little tougher back then. Now they have so many rules in today's game that is more advantageous to the offense. With that said, When i critically analayze what Montana went through in this era compared to Brady's era, in my honest opinion, Id still give Montana the nod. To me, he is the goat qb. And at least in this era, the 49ers had a real haad coach who knew what he was doing. Bil Walsh would have been more able and capable and smarter than Kyle Shannahan, and with that said, would have been able to have won those last two super bowls that Shannahan lost under his watch.
Yes Indeed 💯 Agreed & In My Opinion~ He may Not have had the Strongest Arm & He may Not have been the Most Fleet Footed. But he Was Definitely the Smartest QB of all time🏈🏈🏈👏👏👏
He will always be the Greatest Of All Time, no one could beat him, 4-0 in super bowls and he never had to smash his phone or be suspended for cheating!
@brokensystembrokentrust5047 Oh funny how you guys hate modern NFL but believe what the nfl says about the patriots? Last time I checked, Joe Montana confessed to his linemen spraying themselves on NFL network, funny you wanna bash Brady for supposedly “smashing his phone” or “cheating” when one what the NFL did was a violation of privacy (which all of you guys complain about when it happens to you) two, cheating? Jerry rice using stick em anyone? That even Cris Carter called him out on in a Twitter post.
@@345optimusprime Actually the Patriots Admitted to Spygate & Brady admitted to tampering with footballs. I dont have to believe the NFL I can just believe the Patriots
By the time the '88 Bears defense reached the NFC Championship Game, they were devastated by injuries to key players. Most importantly, that of DE Richard Dent who dominated the 'Niners O-Line and harassed Montana throughout their Monday night matchup. Dent's "flying sack" of Montana was key in securing that game for the Bears. Dent had 10.5 sacks after 12 games and wound up an "all pro" despite missing the last 4gms of the season. The loss of Dent, in and of itself was enough to impact not only the Bears defensive game-plan, but to create offensive opportunities for Walsh & the 'Niners that would not have been present except for his absence. His replacement, DE Sean Smith was barely serviceable, out of the league a year later and in short, was NO Richard Dent. This left the Bears defense as "barely" a SHADOW of what it had been earlier in the season. Other key players were injured, but either continued to play like DE/DT Dan Hampton (knees) & ROLB Jim Morrissey (everything) or were ruled out altogether, like rookie CB Lemuel Stinson(knee). So, Dent was not the only injury problem for the '88 Bears defense, but he was without question the most prominent and impactful. Don't get me started on the offense, QB Mike Tomczak had a badly separated shoulder and Jim McMahon, although cleared to play was still dealing with arm/shoulder injuries from a week 9 matchup vs the Patriots. If you watch the game, most of McMahon's throws veer to the right due to his shoulder injury. Tomczak was put in to relieve McMahon, but by any standard, BOTH QB's should've been ruled out, while 2nd year man & 3rd string QB Jim Harbaugh started the game...
You're so right because I guess 7 Superbowls and 10 Superbowl appearances is not as good as 4 rings but I always thought that 7 was almost twice as much as 4 but then again maybe you're using a different type of arithmetic
@@nathandodge665 some of those rings were not legit, spygate, deflate gate, the first Superbowl they shouldn't even have been in as Brady fumbled the ball against the raiders but the pass was called incomplete which the refs blew that call. Yup Montana is the Goat
You really can't argue Brady as the GOAT but I will say this; if he played during Montana's era instead of the age of the protected quarterback no way in heII he'd have the same longevity he's had. Montana took SO many big shots and injuries really hampered his career at the end.
@@345optimusprime say which part, exactly? Brady as the GOAT or the longevity comment? If you mean his longevity that's why they changed the rules in the first place, too many big name quarterbacks were going down with injuries. Anyways your "those dudes aren't legit" comment really makes no sense.
@billparker7410 Since people can’t read above fifth grade reading level. You were claiming that Brady couldn’t survive old football which is a fallacy. When I will throw Marino and Elway longevity. Plus when I said “aren’t legit” because you were discrediting players that Brady played against that talked about Brady toughness
@@345optimusprime oh I knew exactly what you meant, just couldn't believe someone would say something so naive. But you're right, Brady's longevity has absolutley nothing to do with all the rules put in place to protect quarterbacka.🙄And as far as all those defensive studs you named, that's exactly the point. they weren't allowed to cream quarterbacks like they were back in Montana's era. Now since you seem to have zero reading comprehension let me clarify, I'm not saying that's the only reason for his longevity, obviously the guys a freak, but to still be able to win a Super Bowl st the age of 43? Yeah get serious bozo!
This version of the Bears defense was hardly the best, they were missing several key guys to injuries. Earlier in the same season (when healthy) this defense battered Montana to the point he couldn't finish the game & Steve Young had to try & mount a 4th quarter comeback. That being said I think Montana is the one of the greatest to ever play.
Montana's 4th behind Brady, Unitas & Marino. Eli Manning has more 4th quarter comebacks then him. If Brady had Taylor, Rice & a 1,000 yard back like Roger Craig, he would of had 10 rings.
@@cloudysalsa Right, after Buddy Ryan left after the '85 season they were very good for a few years but just not the same without the brains as their DC.
Don't forget that Joe lost his job to Young when the 49'rs where still supremely talented. I personally think one or two more superbowl wins were in his future if he was able to stay in San Francisco.
No argument that Tom Brady was a great quarterback and have longevity like no other. But not only did Montana have a much shorter career, he played in an error when it was a lot more difficult for not only quarterbacks but wide receivers. This game is a great example. They stomped Chicago where the crowd noise was so loud they couldn't even call Audibles.
@cloudysalsa Incredible! They were undefeated in a time when real men played. Their running offense was awesome. They say 73 Dolphins were even better and they lost 2 games, then won another Superbowl.
@@cloudysalsa True, but then again there were a lot of "pretty good" defenses throughout NFL history. "The Best Defense Of All Time" can only go to one defense, for one year. Perhaps change the title of the video to - "Joe Montana Showing Greatness Against A Pretty Good Defense". 😉 Here's the game from 1985 where Montana played against the greatest defense of all time - ruclips.net/video/E7S_EHtbHHQ/видео.html
Actually, the 84 Bears defense was best as they had 72 sacks and allowed less yards a game with LB Al Harris & SS Todd Bell... The 85 Bears had the Fridge and Marshall had 64 sacks total... Joe Montana beat the 84 Bears 23-0 to go face Dolphins' Marino... Joe Montana isn't the GOAT ... Rams Matthew Stafford is the G.O.A.T. 😛 ...
Montana is in the argument for greatest but Chicago didn't have the greatest defense of all time. The 46 was vulnerable to big plays. They won the SB one year because their luck at dodging bullets held out, except against Miami. It was, however, a great, exciting defense to watch.
Yeah, I was doing real well taking money from idiots in a 3k tent city with the 91 Redskins in Desert Storm, until Montana came along and screwed it up in the Wild Card round.
Montana is the GOAT of QB’s but the ‘88-‘89 Bears was not their best defense. Buddy Ryan was no longer the DC. That season the Bears lost at home 31-7 vs Vikings, lost at New England 30-7, lost at LA Rams 23-3, lost at Minnesota 28-27 in final regular season game.
The judge ultimately sentenced Richardson to a year in prison and an extended probation period, violation of which would result in Richardson serving the remainder of a 13-year sentence.
My 85 Bears had the best defense of all time. In 88 the Bears had already lost otis Wilson, Wilbur Marshall, and Coach Buddy Ryan. Still a solid defense but the 85 Bears beat up on Montana and Rice.
I'm so tired of hearing the Bears had the greatest defense of all time. They had a great defense, but there were many that had better defenses. The 1944 Giants gave up just 75 points for the entire season!!!, the 1976 Steelers defense gave up just 28 points over a 9-game stretch (that's 3 points average per game!!!!), the 1961 Chargers hold the record for the most interceptions in a season with 49, and the most important stat for best defense....the 1982 Redskins defense gave up the fewest points in the history of the NFL with just 128 for the entire season. The 1985 Bears' defense was ranked 22nd all-time in points given up in a season, and the 1986 Bears were ranked 15th all-time in points given up in a season. The 1984 Bears do hold the record for most sacks in a season with 72...but that's just 1 stat out of many that determine what a great defense is.
Antonio Brown is probably the closest you’ve come to Jerry Rice in the modern era. But overall people don’t realize that Jerry for 2 decades was the most feared and potent offensive weapon in the NFL. Certainly in the 90’s rookie Moss.
Look am Steelers fans since 1995 yes he was great among the greatest until his mouth got him in lots of trouble now RB 'Bell came out few years back an said it was he fault nobody else also he did admit to myself tht he let team do but we all forgave him he is bouncing back tht took heart for ' bell to say but for AB am not feeling sorry for him
Montana was good, but you can't just go by Superbowl/playoff success when ranking a quarterback, you have to use the stats as well. By the stats, he's great but not one of the best ever, probably not even as good as his successor Steve Young.
I wouldn't say the '88 Bears were the best defense of all time--that's really stretching things... On an unrelated note, the Bears let Morrissey wear #51? (Butkus's number) Blasphemy...
The 49ers are fast becoming the Buffalo Bills and the Minnesota Vikings. One more Super Bowl loss and 0-4! All star team the last two and the Chiefs beat em both times!!! What happened to Edward Debartolo jr?!

You are completely right
Sure, the rules allowed you to hit the QB almost to death, also a foolproof ethical player
Also, Montana was an ice cold killer when it counted the most. Supernatural accuracy too.

Craig was underrated
I remember this game as if it was yesterday, & when Football was Football.... & to think that Minnesota wasn't even on the radar screen.
10 years from now NFL will be flag football
He will always be the Greatest Of All Time, no one could beat him, 4-0 in super bowls and he never had to smash his phone or be suspended for cheating!
lol, no asterisks next to Montana's championships
@brokensystembrokentrust5047 Oh funny how you guys hate modern NFL but believe what the nfl says about the patriots?
Last time I checked, Joe Montana confessed to his linemen spraying themselves on NFL network, funny you wanna bash Brady for supposedly “smashing his phone” or “cheating” when one what the NFL did was a violation of privacy (which all of you guys complain about when it happens to you) two, cheating? Jerry rice using stick em anyone? That even Cris Carter called him out on in a Twitter post.
@@345optimusprime Actually the Patriots Admitted to Spygate & Brady admitted to tampering with footballs. I dont have to believe the NFL I can just believe the Patriots
4 GOATS, QB/HC/WR/Team
49ers were loaded with talent
How many rings did they win?
By the time the '88 Bears defense reached the NFC Championship Game, they were devastated by injuries to key players. Most importantly, that of DE Richard Dent who dominated the 'Niners O-Line and harassed Montana throughout their Monday night matchup. Dent's "flying sack" of Montana was key in securing that game for the Bears. Dent had 10.5 sacks after 12 games and wound up an "all pro" despite missing the last 4gms of the season. The loss of Dent, in and of itself was enough to impact not only the Bears defensive game-plan, but to create offensive opportunities for Walsh & the 'Niners that would not have been present except for his absence. His replacement, DE Sean Smith was barely serviceable, out of the league a year later and in short, was NO Richard Dent. This left the Bears defense as "barely" a SHADOW of what it had been earlier in the season. Other key players were injured, but either continued to play like DE/DT Dan Hampton (knees) & ROLB Jim Morrissey (everything) or were ruled out altogether, like rookie CB Lemuel Stinson(knee). So, Dent was not the only injury problem for the '88 Bears defense, but he was without question the most prominent and impactful. Don't get me started on the offense, QB Mike Tomczak had a badly separated shoulder and Jim McMahon, although cleared to play was still dealing with arm/shoulder injuries from a week 9 matchup vs the Patriots. If you watch the game, most of McMahon's throws veer to the right due to his shoulder injury. Tomczak was put in to relieve McMahon, but by any standard, BOTH QB's should've been ruled out, while 2nd year man & 3rd string QB Jim Harbaugh started the game...
great info, thanks
Of course he's the goat, he NEVER lost a Superbowl, he was clutch when pressured. Bradybunch can't say either
I agree he is the goat
Tuck etc etc etc etc, like t sizzle said flop 😂😂😂
You're so right because I guess 7 Superbowls and 10 Superbowl appearances is not as good as 4 rings but I always thought that 7 was almost twice as much as 4 but then again maybe you're using a different type of arithmetic
Four rings to seven 😊
@@nathandodge665 some of those rings were not legit, spygate, deflate gate, the first Superbowl they shouldn't even have been in as Brady fumbled the ball against the raiders but the pass was called incomplete which the refs blew that call. Yup Montana is the Goat
THANK YOU....JOE WTH. RICE &TAYLOR WAS THE BEST
great team, maybe best ever
You really can't argue Brady as the GOAT but I will say this; if he played during Montana's era instead of the age of the protected quarterback no way in heII he'd have the same longevity he's had. Montana took SO many big shots and injuries really hampered his career at the end.
great points, thanks
@billparker7410 Say that to Von Miller, Justin Tuck, Ray Lewis, Demarcus ware? By your logic those dudes aren’t legit.
@@345optimusprime say which part, exactly? Brady as the GOAT or the longevity comment? If you mean his longevity that's why they changed the rules in the first place, too many big name quarterbacks were going down with injuries. Anyways your "those dudes aren't legit" comment really makes no sense.
@billparker7410 Since people can’t read above fifth grade reading level. You were claiming that Brady couldn’t survive old football which is a fallacy. When I will throw Marino and Elway longevity.
Plus when I said “aren’t legit” because you were discrediting players that Brady played against that talked about Brady toughness
@@345optimusprime oh I knew exactly what you meant, just couldn't believe someone would say something so naive. But you're right, Brady's longevity has absolutley nothing to do with all the rules put in place to protect quarterbacka.🙄And as far as all those defensive studs you named, that's exactly the point. they weren't allowed to cream quarterbacks like they were back in Montana's era. Now since you seem to have zero reading comprehension let me clarify, I'm not saying that's the only reason for his longevity, obviously the guys a freak, but to still be able to win a Super Bowl st the age of 43? Yeah get serious bozo!
This version of the Bears defense was hardly the best, they were missing several key guys to injuries. Earlier in the same season (when healthy) this defense battered Montana to the point he couldn't finish the game & Steve Young had to try & mount a 4th quarter comeback. That being said I think Montana is the one of the greatest to ever play.
valid point
Montana was and still is the best..................on defense sorry Bears.........76 Steeler defense was best ever.......look up what they did
Tom Brady is the real (GOAT)
is it because he has the most championships?
Montana's 4th behind Brady, Unitas & Marino. Eli Manning has more 4th quarter comebacks then him.
If Brady had Taylor, Rice & a 1,000 yard back like Roger Craig, he would of had 10 rings.
Great info, I was nit aware of some of these
This isn't the 85 Bears right? This is what 88? Buddy Ryan isn't there I believe right?
88 Bears still a great defense, not exactly 85 but pretty good
@@cloudysalsa Right, after Buddy Ryan left after the '85 season they were very good for a few years but just not the same without the brains as their DC.
Miami torched the 85 bears that Monday nite
Right, they gave up 38 points which was more than 5 times as much as the average game for the 69 Vikings.@@starwarsfan7740
Madden/Summerall were the best! Bunch of old pistons in there pumping, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!
Along with the true GOAT(s) Montana and Rice
those guys were great
Don't forget that Joe lost his job to Young when the 49'rs where still supremely talented. I personally think one or two more superbowl wins were in his future if he was able to stay in San Francisco.
Amazing video and I definitely think Joe is number one but behind him is Tom Brady.
2:50 Tecmo Super Bowl celebration screen?
No argument that Tom Brady was a great quarterback and have longevity like no other. But not only did Montana have a much shorter career, he played in an error when it was a lot more difficult for not only quarterbacks but wide receivers. This game is a great example. They stomped Chicago where the crowd noise was so loud they couldn't even call Audibles.
case for him to be the goat
The second greatest QB of all-time!
If I had to pick a quarterback Joe would be number one. Then staubach or elway.
Elway in my top 2 all time great, don't know why is not in the GOAT debate
Marino, in my opinion, was better. Stats show it. Elway didn't win his Super Bowls until he got a running back. Marino never had a running back

Best defenses had to be 72 Dolphins and 76 Steelers.
I have never heard anyone talk about the 72 Dolphins defense as being best
@cloudysalsa Incredible! They were undefeated in a time when real men played. Their running offense was awesome. They say 73 Dolphins were even better and they lost 2 games, then won another Superbowl.
going undefeated is an incredible task, probably will never happened again
49ers had a very stacked team...
they were pretty good, many players and coach hall of fame
The best team was in the booth calling the game.
48ers ha great coaches too
The real best D of all time was 86 Giants who knocked Montana out of the game. 1990 Giants D did that also.
I think you might be right, that Lawrence Taylor defense was special

What about the Giants beating him 49-3 in the 1986 divisional round LOL
can't win them all
This was not “the greatest defense of all time”. That crown would go to the 1985 Bears. This was the 1988 Bears.
that was still a pretty good defense
@@cloudysalsa True, but then again there were a lot of "pretty good" defenses throughout NFL history. "The Best Defense Of All Time" can only go to one defense, for one year. Perhaps change the title of the video to - "Joe Montana Showing Greatness Against A Pretty Good Defense". 😉
Here's the game from 1985 where Montana played against the greatest defense of all time -
ruclips.net/video/E7S_EHtbHHQ/видео.html
Actually, the 84 Bears defense was best as they had 72 sacks and allowed less yards a game with LB Al Harris & SS Todd Bell... The 85 Bears had the Fridge and Marshall had 64 sacks total...
Joe Montana beat the 84 Bears 23-0 to go face Dolphins' Marino...
Joe Montana isn't the GOAT ...
Rams Matthew Stafford is the G.O.A.T. 😛 ...
Montana is in the argument for greatest but Chicago didn't have the greatest defense of all time. The 46 was vulnerable to big plays. They won the SB one year because their luck at dodging bullets held out, except against Miami. It was, however, a great, exciting defense to watch.
thanks for sharing
When football was the real deal !! the 49ers were unstoppable!! not like the team we have today!! Kyle shanahan is a joke!
Yeah, I was doing real well taking money from idiots in a 3k tent city with the 91 Redskins in Desert Storm, until Montana came along and screwed it up in the Wild Card round.
Montana broke a lot hearts
Some suspect tackling and pursuit by Bears secondary. Helped Montana a lot. Fixed?
LOL
This isn’t the ‘85 Bears.
no one wants to give the 88 Bears respect
Montana is the GOAT of QB’s but the ‘88-‘89 Bears was not their best defense. Buddy Ryan was no longer the DC. That season the Bears lost at home 31-7 vs Vikings, lost at New England 30-7, lost at LA Rams 23-3, lost at Minnesota 28-27 in final regular season game.

Mike Richardson of the Bears. Would eventually get himself caught up in a murder in Phoenix, AZ.
thanks for sharing
The judge ultimately sentenced Richardson to a year in prison and an extended probation period, violation of which would result in Richardson serving the remainder of a 13-year sentence.
CHICAGO S DEFENSE MUST HAVE BEEN CONVINCED ITS 49ERS TURN TO WIN
QB was too much
My 85 Bears had the best defense of all time. In 88 the Bears had already lost otis Wilson, Wilbur Marshall, and Coach Buddy Ryan. Still a solid defense but the 85 Bears beat up on Montana and Rice.
true statement, I agree
This video isnt showing the Steel Curtain aka the real best defense of all time.
Twenty bucks says Joe Montana posted this video. 🤣
LOL
I have nothing to say. For once.
classic
I'm so tired of hearing the Bears had the greatest defense of all time. They had a great defense, but there were many that had better defenses. The 1944 Giants gave up just 75 points for the entire season!!!, the 1976 Steelers defense gave up just 28 points over a 9-game stretch (that's 3 points average per game!!!!), the 1961 Chargers hold the record for the most interceptions in a season with 49, and the most important stat for best defense....the 1982 Redskins defense gave up the fewest points in the history of the NFL with just 128 for the entire season. The 1985 Bears' defense was ranked 22nd all-time in points given up in a season, and the 1986 Bears were ranked 15th all-time in points given up in a season. The 1984 Bears do hold the record for most sacks in a season with 72...but that's just 1 stat out of many that determine what a great defense is.
Y u thnk #80 is th best of Best Moss ,AB ,TO these guys not in the same class is #80
#80 all time best
Antonio Brown is probably the closest you’ve come to Jerry Rice in the modern era. But overall people don’t realize that Jerry for 2 decades was the most feared and potent offensive weapon in the NFL. Certainly in the 90’s rookie Moss.
Look am Steelers fans since 1995 yes he was great among the greatest until his mouth got him in lots of trouble now RB 'Bell came out few years back an said it was he fault nobody else also he did admit to myself tht he let team do but we all forgave him he is bouncing back tht took heart for ' bell to say but for AB am not feeling sorry for him
This like 1989 this isn't the best defense of All Time, it's the '85 Bears and they beat Joe Montana & the 49ers 26-10.
Montana was good, but you can't just go by Superbowl/playoff success when ranking a quarterback, you have to use the stats as well. By the stats, he's great but not one of the best ever, probably not even as good as his successor Steve Young.
so who is the best by the numbers
@@cloudysalsa Manning or Brady
The best defense of all time! Jajaja

Montana baby goat. Compared to Brady😂
some say Montana is the goat
Montana is the real football goat…..Brady is flag football goat.

I wouldn't say the '88 Bears were the best defense of all time--that's really stretching things... On an unrelated note, the Bears let Morrissey wear #51? (Butkus's number)
Blasphemy...

Joe was great. Brady still the goat.
not so sure
@@cloudysalsa Brady put Doug gaberial in the pro Bowl. Who's Doug gaberial? Exactly.

Joe montana is better than Tom brady
I think so too
The 49ers are fast becoming the Buffalo Bills and the Minnesota Vikings. One more Super Bowl loss and 0-4! All star team the last two and the Chiefs beat em both times!!! What happened to Edward Debartolo jr?!
The 49ers have not had an it QB in a long time, that's probably the reason
