Ken Gelman I have to thank you for posting this game. When this was played I was onboard USS Cook (FF 1083) and it was during Desert Shield/Desert Storm so I never saw a single play from it until today. We were in-port for the 49ers game and for the Superbowl, but this one I had to miss. I'm a life-long Giants fan (I still remember watching the CBS special, "The Violent World of Sam Huff") and you've made this Memorial Day weekend extra special for this vet. I'll re-watch the Niners game later, but for now I have to say thank you again--there's a big smile on my face.
I missed few playoff games and a super bowl in 1994 (93 season) because I was on my way to Somalia on board the USS Frederick. I love it when someone posts the games I had to miss. If the NFL really wanted to to do a favor to military people they would have shipped us videos of the games so we could watch them when we had a bit of time off... come to think of it I was on an LST we never had time off lol.
Rob I’m a cowboy fan, and one of my passions in life is to let my NFC East fans of rival teams know how inadequate their teams are. But in this case I won’t do that. Instead Rob I want to thank you for your service and all you do.
I like these uniforms better also. These were the uniforms from 1976 through 1999. They went back to the uniforms of the 50s and 60s, and those are the ones they're still using.
I remember this game and I used to LOVE watching the Giants on CBS. It would be the late game (4pm) then right into 60 Minutes which was my dad's favorite program. And oh how I miss John Madden's voice!!
Splendid game by the Giants. I have always been a Giants fan. Who ever made the comment about the old uniforms and going back to them, I'm right with you.
Gosh, we have to somehow go back. This was 7 years before I was born but I deeply long for a time like this. It's amazing to watch football and advertising and actually LIKE it. Nowadays, football is a drag and the commercials are absolutely souless.
I loved NFC games on CBS. They made the NFC magical and exciting. Fox just does not care about the NFC or the NFL. I wish CBS could get the NFC package back ASAP.
As a bear fan, this one was painful. What a beat down. I was 10 year old kid watching the bears take a beating. That was a heck of a Giants team. It was a reason they were in the super bowl and won that year. It was not just the bills kicker missing that field goal. Scott Norwood.
It was the Bills game plan on offense that lost that game. If they just kept running Thurman Thomas it wouldve never even come down to a FG try. Thurman averaged 9 yards a carry in that game
Same here. January 1991 I was also 10. The SuperFans debuted on Saturday Night Live the night before and this was the game the game they were talking about with the Mini-Bears vs the Giants (Ditka was full-grown, though). This was an embarrassing game for the Bears. But like Ditka said post-game, The Giants were a better team. I remember the NFC Central being weak that year, but I just looked at Bears's schedule that year and it VERY weak. They only beat one team that finished over .500 and they beat four 5-11 teams. They even lost one game each to Minnesota and Green Bay who both finished 6-10.
Thx for posting! ....I immediately went to the 4th and goal play , John Washington stuffing the play, Pepper Johnson's helmet flying, and John Madden getting all excited...🏈
One of my favorite memories from football as a kid was that 4th and goal stand by the Giants where Pepper Johnson loses his helmet and keeps playing to make the tackle! Thanks for posting the video.
Never saw this game because my dad and I were lucky enough to get tickets to the Raiders/Bengals playoff game later that day from my uncle Ickey Woods. As a Raiders fan, it was bittersweet, since it was Bo Jackson's last football game. All we heard was that the Giants had beaten the Bears.
Manu Ginobilis Bald Spot Kevin Walker tackled him from behind.. my grandmother passed away the day before. Losing her and my Bungles loosing was brutal on a 12 year old.
@@davidsekowski1710 Well, I offer my condolences to you and your family on the passing of your Grandmother. And yeah, that injury was indeed a pretty brutal one indeed. In terms of the Bengals losing that game, they had a TON of injuries going into that game. I still remember Raiders' DE Greg Townsend just owning the guy he was up against, who I believe was in for Anthony Munoz because Munoz had gotten injured.
I remember that I was actually attending this football game when I was just a kid. My Uncle took me to it. This really takes me back a very long time ago.
This was Pat Summerall's first game back after missing the last several weeks of the season and Wild-Card round of the playoffs while battling alcoholism. There's a book where it's mentioned that Verne Lundquist, who filled in for him, was actually in East Rutherford on standby that day just in case Summerall either couldn't make it for the game or get through the entire broadcast.
31-3.....this game broke my heart! I'm a die hard Chicago Bears fan and Dan Hampton was my idol growing up. This was his last game ever before he retired. At least "Da Monsters" lost to the eventual Super Bowl 25 champs!.....thanks to some guy named "Norwood"! Lmao
The miners wouldn’t have had a chance in giants stadium if the championship game was here,, The giants were tough to beat in ol giants stadium,, I miss this stadium,, Had such tradition,,longtime season ticket holders ,,loyal to the bone. Great tailgating,, Home field advantage was so important for teams in this era,,
Sports Fan it's the idea that they have access or have a much better opportunity to gain access to NFL games. This isn't the only game this guy posted. I have no recordings of any nfl games and I cant even think of where to start to go about getting any.
The lack of team speed for the Chicago Bears were really on display in this game, especially in their front 7 with their inability to stop Hostetler's QB scrambles in key moments to pick up 1st downs or touchdowns.
This game was played the day after my 2nd birthday. The opening commercial makes me realize just how old this was. An Eastern Airlines commercial, airing less than a week before the airline ceased operations.
Belichick was a genius using Mike Fox as the 4th lineman against the Bears, then a 3 man line against the 49ers, and finally a 2 man line against the Bills in SB 25. The Giants sacrificed the run against the Bills to stop Jim Kelly.
The plan vs the Bills was to play a combination of hard hitting linebackers and safety's to knock the hell out of Bill receivers after they caught the ball. Buffalo's star Andre Reed said he had never been hit so often or so hard in his life(Carl Banks). The Giants said Reed was hearing footsteps in one brutal hit early in the game and became a non factor after that.. Giants had the hardest hitting team in the NFL this season.
This team would out-tough you. Very effective in an era where league rules didn’t protect players like they do today! As demonstrated in the HOF game, the no helmet contact rule for 2018 is already causing controversy.
Yeah but as Belichick found out and has since copied along with coming up with other defenses and offenses, that same 4 2 5 using either 2 down lineman with 2 linebackers up front or using 4 down lineman up front, you don't have to sacrifice the run game. Like Denver in the 1991 AFC title game, Washington in the 91 92 Super Bowl, Miami in the first game in 1992, and Dallas in both Super Bowls against the bills, used a disguised run and pass blitz where they would line up in the 4 2 5 and change their defense right before the snap. It was very effective against both Kelly and Thurman Thomas, who were the keys to stopping the bills offense. In sb 25 if the giants hadn't been able to run the ball there's no play action passing and they don't keep buffalo's offense off the field so allowing Thurman to get 100 yards could have backfired. It almost did anyway. If that had been Christie instead of Norwood that field goal is made and the bills win especially since Christie played all his home games in Tampa Stadium before being acquired by the bills
I hadn't seen this game in 30 years, so I saw that the situation was 24-3 Giants at the 2 minute warning. I thought to myself, I don't remember the Giants running up the score with the last TD; and then I saw that the Bears stupidly called a timeout with less than two minutes left. So screw the Bears, they deserved to have that last TD scored on them.
I was at this game! Four people behind me were Bear’s fans and I was trash talking all game about it was Hampton’s last game! Lol I was only 13 at the time. I’d be nicer today! God I miss Giant home playoff games!!
Bears fan here but I gotta tip my hat to the Giants. To my knowledge I think that New York just simply wanted it more. I believe after this game the Giants hosted Buffalo in the Super Bowl that featured Buffalo's Scott Norwood missing the field goal wide right and therefore preserving the Super Bowl win for the Giants.
Right on, Scooby. The Bears beat up the Giants good in '85. This was a better Giants team in '90. Two great franchises and two of the best from that era.
Scooby Carr As I said I'm not putting Chicago down. I've nothing but respect for the Bear team of the 1984-1990. Like others I believe they could have played in more than one Super Bowl during that time period. BTW, the Giants played at SF following this game and won on a last second fg by Matt Bahr. Finally the Bears and Giants both had great defense for the entire decade of the 1980's and played a similar style of run first offense Wasn't trying to offend or put you down him. I've been to Chicago (to visit a girlfriend at the time,1986) and thoroughly enjoyed the city. Like Mark Bavaro said, Buddy Ryan was the only opposition coach he ever hated as do I and Mike Ditka. Be well sweety
56:30 - Bears 4th and goal and they go for it. Madden - "If the Bears don't score here it's going to be a long day for them." Madden was Tony Romo before Tony Romo!
In 1983, I was watching the NFL draft, in Morgantown West Virginia. Hostetler was our hero. He had transferred down from Penn State, because Joe Paterno wanted to make him a linebacker and not a Quarterback. Todd Blackledge got the job. So when they started to interview the Giants sports "journalists" from the big city of New York, the only nice thing they had to say about Hostetler was..."well he played for Penn state for awhile, so he should be OK"... I was SOOoooo mad I threw my Fritos at the TV set, and then called the sports desk of the local paper. When I told Micky Furfari (RIP), what the guy said, and was very outraged (as I should have been), Mickey just laughed and said, well we will see.
Bavaria was so banged up at this point in his career that he never practiced,, He just played in the games,, Parcels use to have a rule if you don’t practice you don’t play, Did not apply to bavaro,,,
Interesting how the Giants "opened up " the offense in the first quarter but ended up passing a whopping 17 passes I also loved how the Giants running game completely dominated the game from the 2nd quarter on with a long run of 11 yards I miss this type of slobberknocker games
The Giants of this era just smothered the opponent slowly ball control defense and special teams working as a team with enough big play potential to keep defenses honest
The Bears of this era always feasted on a weak NFL Central, with 5 or 6 gimmie wins against the Lions, Packers and Bucs. You knew when they made the playoffs they'd get pounded. They were no match for the Niners, Redskins or Giants of that era.
Sad for the Bears to go down in the playoffs 28-3 to the Niners in 1988 and 31-3 on rhis day to the G-Men, and this after two straight playoff eliminations by the Redskins in 1986 and 1987.
Notice how little celebrating? back when MEN played football..some of the hits on the qb in this gm would be a 15yd personal foul today..the nfl in the 80's early 90's was how the gm was meant to be played..i get the whole concussion concern but nowadays u just say a few harsh words to a qb and its 15yrds...what a joke! .i watched football for the defense which is now almost nonexistent ..needless to say i dont watch much football these days.would love to see the likes of mahomes and cam newton square up against any of the good teams from this era..WOULD LOVE IT!..and the celebrating, oh goodness the celebrating!... makes me wanna puke!!!
Hey RUclips: Put the effing ads where they belong. They're obviously not random; they show up within two seconds of a touchdown, interception, etc. It's unbelievably annoying to see something super-exciting happen and get cut off before you can fully digest it, watch the replay, etc. Even if you just changed the algorithm to drop them in after 15 seconds instead of 2 seconds it would improve things massively. Best case would be to put them in where the tv broadcast has them, but I'm sure that's too much to ask.
Yup - this 1990 season was fool's gold for Chicago. They didn't beat a single playoff team all season, all 4 other teams in their division finished 6-10 and they lost 4 of their last 6 regular-season games - 3 in blowout fashion. Even their first-round playoff win was against an 8-8 Saints team that was never over .500 all season. This was not that good of a team.
The 85 Bears came along and tried to interrupt the decade's dominance by the Redskins, Giants and Niners. All they did was make those 3 teams stronger and stronger.
The bears and giants should’ve met in the 1987 nfc title game, but charles Martin R.I.P. from Green Bay changed that....it would’ve been a defensive battle....they previously faced off in the 1986 playoffs....
Hey Ken, do you have the Giants/Bears 1985 playoff game? It isn't on youtube in full, and I'm not sure if it just hasn't been uploaded or if it's been blocked. I'd really like to see it! Thanks for all of your uploads, by the way.
Yes. Diet soda tastes so bad both Coca Cola and Pepsi Cola used star after star in top notch produced, expensive commercials. Notice I said “tastes”. 34 years laster its as disgusting as ever.
Who would have sincerely thought that just two scant years after this debacle that Mike Ditka would lose his job as the coach of the Bears? During this time and even after the disaster that was 1989 I think that Ditka was wearing out his welcome in Chicago.
Scooby Carr Ditka was a good coach for his style, which was tough, grind it out, no nonsense, blood and guts football. Even after Ryan, his defenses were top notch. But the problem with that one dimensional “Bears football” is that teams could Out-Bear the Bears, but the Bears were not going to Out-Niner the Niners. Ditka’s offenses could be written on an envelope, and he liked you, as a QB, to earn your stripes to throw downfield. The only QB he ever had that properly fit his mold of a QB was Harbaugh...a tough, decently accurate, ball control QB that won 16-10 games, and held the ball for two hours at a time. Everyone else wanted to let it fly and were handcuffed. Watching this game and seeing Belichick, it reminds me that this dude has SEVEN rings and has been to 11 Super Bowls. Absolutely insane.
@@TheWakeup011 On offense, I’ve seen Harbaugh win shootouts, even if it was bad teams. Ditka didn’t win offensive shootouts…ever. He had good offensive games here and there, but his defenses were just brutally tough. Here’s the thing though. Ditka lost against only the very best…and that is all. Definitely a second tier coach for that time. Beat everyone else. Harbaugh loses awful, unnecessary games 2-3 times a year
Ditka is on the NY 27, 4th & 12, goes for it? Then, 4th GL 1 YD line, stuffed. Then 3rd Q 4th & GL tackled on 1 YD line? That's like 17 points. Terrible.
LMAO Ditka was never known as a great in-game strategist. Not to rag on the guy but he just wasn't. Kind of had the old-school, Steve Spurrier type mindset where he just did the first thing that came to mind instead of analyzing the situation. He was no Belichick when it came to that sort of thing.
All the guys left on defense from the 85 team were getting old by then and their offense was terrible. No idea how they won as many games as they did that year
Wish you wouldn't use RUclips's auto stability correction or whatever that is. It makes the picture dance all around the screen and can be so annoying. Great that you have the whole game though.
You know, I've seen that effect be much worse on other videos, I only see it slightly in yours. But yeah I uploaded a video once and it gave me a side by side comparison with youtube's correction of the picture and I looked at it and noticed the youtube corrected half had the picture dancing a lil bit. And I didn't think it actually enhanced the picture any. Mess around with it some and see for yourself tho.

I have to thank you for posting this game. When this was played I was onboard USS Cook (FF 1083) and it was during Desert Shield/Desert Storm so I never saw a single play from it until today. We were in-port for the 49ers game and for the Superbowl, but this one I had to miss. I'm a life-long Giants fan (I still remember watching the CBS special, "The Violent World of Sam Huff") and you've made this Memorial Day weekend extra special for this vet. I'll re-watch the Niners game later, but for now I have to say thank you again--there's a big smile on my face.
Thanks Rob. You just made MY Memorial Day weekend by sharing that story. And more importantly, THANK YOU for your service to our country! #USA
Ken thank you for your service, sacrifice and protection Ken Gelman. God bless you and your family
Rob Tierney
Thanks for your service to the United States 🇺🇸 Sir!!!
I missed few playoff games and a super bowl in 1994 (93 season) because I was on my way to Somalia on board the USS Frederick. I love it when someone posts the games I had to miss.

I wish my Giants go back to these uniforms... Pat and John the “BEST” voice for football ever.....
How are the uniforms any different?
Yeah I think that the Giants' uniforms do look much better here than in the NFL of today.
I like these uniforms better also. These were the uniforms from 1976 through 1999. They went back to the uniforms of the 50s and 60s, and those are the ones they're still using.
Big blue wrecking crew!!
@@LazlosPlane + What, you don't watch football so much? They are completely different!
I remember this game and I used to LOVE watching the Giants on CBS. It would be the late game (4pm) then right into 60 Minutes which was my dad's favorite program. And oh how I miss John Madden's voice!!
Same here, Anthony!
And then The Simpsons!
@@danski6694 best tv show ever. And the Giants would be the early game not late game cuz of east coast time zone
Pat and John’s chemistry was amazing! I miss them so much! Greatest commentary duo of all times!
Absolutely. Same here.
They were so great! As soon as you heard their voices you knew it was football time!!
Along with Howard, Meredith, and Frank.
Still a fond memory from childhood. Those 1990 Giants were such an underrated team. My favorite all-time Giants team!
Great times.
Splendid game by the Giants. I have always been a Giants fan. Who ever made the comment about the old uniforms and going back to them, I'm right with you.
Love the old commercials too. Simpler times!
Matthew Dettman you got the right one baby! memorable Ray Charles
Matthew Dettman only reason I decided to drink a Diet Pepsi as a 8 year old. lol
Simpler and better in my opinion
Well said
Definitely. The irony thought is that only a few days after this broadcast Eastern airlines would cease all operations

The physicality of this game jumped out of the screen.
Hearing madden talk about new word slobberknocker is as classic as it gets.
I'm waiting to hear him mention that😂 wonder if he gives credit to Jim Ross.
I miss this kind of football it was more fun then
Wish I can go back just for a day...miss those times...wow..pay phones ..vcrs..etc

I taped this game. I was 11 years old. So I’m very familiar with this broadcast.
Bill Parcells last game with the Giants at Giant Stadium. Dan Hampton's last game of his career.
Just found your page. WOW!😀
Thanks for posting Ken!
Matt Bahr is one of the all time great New York Giants
He did not have a big leg, but he sure was clutch. No more so than during this 1990 postseason run!
Ah! I'm loving this!!
I was at this game! Four people behind me were Bear’s fans and I was trash talking all game about it was Hampton’s last game! Lol
I was only 13 at the time. I’d be nicer today! God I miss Giant home playoff games!!
you do a great job sir ty
Finding these time Warps are my favorite part of youtube
Back when the Giants had a Defense
What about the other two super bowls they won in recent memory?
2007 and 2011
They didnt have good defenses those years beating Tom Brady twice?
Bears fan here but I gotta tip my hat to the Giants. To my knowledge I think that New York just simply wanted it more. I believe after this game the Giants hosted Buffalo in the Super Bowl that featured Buffalo's Scott Norwood missing the field goal wide right and therefore preserving the Super Bowl win for the Giants.
Right on, Scooby. The Bears beat up the Giants good in '85. This was a better Giants team in '90. Two great franchises and two of the best from that era.
Scooby Carr Wanted it more? That could've been part of it but no disrespect to the Bears, the Giants were a far superior team in 1990.

Nope San Fran.. then the Super bowl. They left it all on the field with San Fran.. one of the best NFC championship game I ever seen.
56:30 - Bears 4th and goal and they go for it. Madden - "If the Bears don't score here it's going to be a long day for them." Madden was Tony Romo before Tony Romo!
pac401 Tony R. couldn't shine Big Johns shoes!!!
It was a really stupid play call.
I remember watching this when I was 9 years old and wondering why the Bears kept lateralling the ball back on the last kickoff.
In 1983, I was watching the NFL draft, in Morgantown West Virginia. Hostetler was our hero. He had transferred down from Penn State, because Joe Paterno wanted to make him a linebacker and not a Quarterback. Todd Blackledge got the job. So when they started to interview the Giants sports "journalists" from the big city of New York, the only nice thing they had to say about Hostetler was..."well he played for Penn state for awhile, so he should be OK"... I was SOOoooo mad I threw my Fritos at the TV set, and then called the sports desk of the local paper. When I told Micky Furfari (RIP), what the guy said, and was very outraged (as I should have been), Mickey just laughed and said, well we will see.
Bavaria was so banged up at this point in his career that he never practiced,,
He just played in the games,,
Parcels use to have a rule if you don’t practice you don’t play,
Did not apply to bavaro,,,
Interesting how the Giants "opened up " the offense in the first quarter but ended up passing a whopping 17 passes I also loved how the Giants running game completely dominated the game from the 2nd quarter on with a long run of 11 yards I miss this type of slobberknocker games
Those 1oclock games were epic 🔥🔥🔥
Payback 90.
Chicago bears,
One good team out of a hundred years.
The Giants of this era just smothered the opponent slowly ball control defense and special teams working as a team with enough big play potential to keep defenses honest
Pat Summerall's comeback game after being out for a few weeks due to illness.
He had a bleeding ulcer from alcoholism that almost killed him.
The Bears of this era always feasted on a weak NFL Central, with 5 or 6 gimmie wins against the Lions, Packers and Bucs. You knew when they made the playoffs they'd get pounded. They were no match for the Niners, Redskins or Giants of that era.
THANK YOU!!!!
0:36 - THE YELLOW PAGES?!??? It’s been eons since I saw hear or saw one!! I wonder if there is an app for that. #iPhone
Sad for the Bears to go down in the playoffs 28-3 to the Niners in 1988 and 31-3 on rhis day to the G-Men, and this after two straight playoff eliminations by the Redskins in 1986 and 1987.
Notice how little celebrating? back when MEN played football..some of the hits on the qb in this gm would be a 15yd personal foul today..the nfl in the 80's early 90's was how the gm was meant to be played..i get the whole concussion concern but nowadays u just say a few harsh words to a qb and its 15yrds...what a joke! .i watched football for the defense which is now almost nonexistent ..needless to say i dont watch much football these days.would love to see the likes of mahomes and cam newton square up against any of the good teams from this era..WOULD LOVE IT!..and the celebrating, oh goodness the celebrating!... makes me wanna puke!!!
1:09:20 OJ trucks a Bears DB.
Hey RUclips: Put the effing ads where they belong. They're obviously not random; they show up within two seconds of a touchdown, interception, etc. It's unbelievably annoying to see something super-exciting happen and get cut off before you can fully digest it, watch the replay, etc. Even if you just changed the algorithm to drop them in after 15 seconds instead of 2 seconds it would improve things massively. Best case would be to put them in where the tv broadcast has them, but I'm sure that's too much to ask.
Love that the commercials are kept in this. Shows me a time when the world was way less ... annoying lol
Madden was exactly right @ 56:40. When Muster was stuffed on 4th1, the Bears never recovered.
Carl Banks and John Washington . . . just beautiful.
Does everyone know that Bill Belichick was on the field for every New York Giants Super Bowl win? #FACKS
Every playoff game Mike Ditka lost was to a coach in the Hall of Fame.
12:11 When John and Pa discuss William "Refrigerator" Perry - It's so funny
I was there
The video begins with an Eastern Air Lines commercial. By the end of the week, Eastern was kaput.
By 1990, the Ditka Bears were a long shell of themselves.
EdmacZ True. The NFC central was a weak division during their 84-91 playoff years. After 1988, the mystique was long gone.
Yup - this 1990 season was fool's gold for Chicago. They didn't beat a single playoff team all season, all 4 other teams in their division finished 6-10 and they lost 4 of their last 6 regular-season games - 3 in blowout fashion. Even their first-round playoff win was against an 8-8 Saints team that was never over .500 all season. This was not that good of a team.
Their defense was never the same after 1988. Especially their pass defense.
I miss the old CBS pre-and halftime show with Brent Musburger leading the way
This was the time when Singletary began whinning after playoff games. Won 1 playoff game after 85. 1 year wonder team.
The 85 Bears came along and tried to interrupt the decade's dominance by the Redskins, Giants and Niners. All they did was make those 3 teams stronger and stronger.
One name you NEVER heard? Mike Singletary
Bears defenses were good in da 90's but suspectible versus the short passing attacks
Giants threw 1 pass in the 2nd quarter. You'll never see that in today's pass happy NFL.
Those old Apex One and Starter sideline coats...
That old astro turf 🥰
The Bears were over hyped this season.
Pivotal Film TV Scenes Weak schedule and played in a weak division, even though Detroit was on the rise. Their offense was so boring and ineffective.
Hoss killed it!!
Not a same game with phil.
56:48 Nice gesture from a fan following the goal line stand.
Steve Covello In case you don't know (but I believe you do), that is known as the "Italian Salute" by us Jersey and NY folks.
The bears and giants should’ve met in the 1987 nfc title game, but charles Martin R.I.P. from Green Bay changed that....it would’ve been a defensive battle....they previously faced off in the 1986 playoffs....
They met week 1 of the 87 season. MNF. 85 champs vs 86 champs, The Bears beat the Giants 38-17, I believe that game is on RUclips.
@ yes indeed……just found the bears/giants mnf game on RUclips…..thanks so much……
@@beezy22 you're welcome. Another season us bears fans had high hopes 😂
Total domination by the Giants
Hey Ken, do you have the Giants/Bears 1985 playoff game? It isn't on youtube in full, and I'm not sure if it just hasn't been uploaded or if it's been blocked. I'd really like to see it! Thanks for all of your uploads, by the way.
I taped this game. I was 11 year old. I know this whole game basically.
I'm not a bears fan but I was disappointed in them this game
Me too homie 10 turning 11..peace..#good ol'days
I remember Hampton running his mouth b4 this game. Bears got crushed. Bears (85) were a 1 year wonder.
Ray Charles Diet Pepsi commercial... classic!
Yes. Diet soda tastes so bad both Coca Cola and Pepsi Cola used star after star in top notch produced, expensive commercials.
Notice I said “tastes”. 34 years laster its as disgusting as ever.
Who would have sincerely thought that just two scant years after this debacle that Mike Ditka would lose his job as the coach of the Bears? During this time and even after the disaster that was 1989 I think that Ditka was wearing out his welcome in Chicago.
Scooby Carr Ditka was a good coach for his style, which was tough, grind it out, no nonsense, blood and guts football. Even after Ryan, his defenses were top notch.
But the problem with that one dimensional “Bears football” is that teams could Out-Bear the Bears, but the Bears were not going to Out-Niner the Niners. Ditka’s offenses could be written on an envelope, and he liked you, as a QB, to earn your stripes to throw downfield. The only QB he ever had that properly fit his mold of a QB was Harbaugh...a tough, decently accurate, ball control QB that won 16-10 games, and held the ball for two hours at a time. Everyone else wanted to let it fly and were handcuffed.
Watching this game and seeing Belichick, it reminds me that this dude has SEVEN rings and has been to 11 Super Bowls. Absolutely insane.
@@thepunditspundit1776 lmo, the irony here is that Harbaugh seemed to inherit Ditka's shortcomings as HC.
@@TheWakeup011 On offense, I’ve seen Harbaugh win shootouts, even if it was bad teams. Ditka didn’t win offensive shootouts…ever. He had good offensive games here and there, but his defenses were just brutally tough.
Here’s the thing though. Ditka lost against only the very best…and that is all. Definitely a second tier coach for that time. Beat everyone else. Harbaugh loses awful, unnecessary games 2-3 times a year
@@thepunditspundit1776 yeah, you're right about that. All of it. But especially the last sentence.
Ditka is on the NY 27, 4th & 12, goes for it? Then, 4th GL 1 YD line, stuffed. Then 3rd Q 4th & GL tackled on 1 YD line? That's like 17 points. Terrible.
LMAO Ditka was never known as a great in-game strategist. Not to rag on the guy but he just wasn't. Kind of had the old-school, Steve Spurrier type mindset where he just did the first thing that came to mind instead of analyzing the situation. He was no Belichick when it came to that sort of thing.
36:45 amazing catch !!!!!!
At 1:43:10
Me: jesus christ! Hostetler got a cannon!
Summerall: iiiiinto the wiiind
Lesley Visser was quite fetching back then.
seems the bears of 90 were not the 85 ones that day!
All the guys left on defense from the 85 team were getting old by then and their offense was terrible. No idea how they won as many games as they did that year
They got OLD, Einstein!
The defense wasn't even close to being on the same level as in 85, or even 86, especially against the pass.
It’s really sad that I have to watch games from 30 years ago to get excited about football. A time when they still let the defense play defense.
Roger Goodell is a fool
Wish you wouldn't use RUclips's auto stability correction or whatever that is. It makes the picture dance all around the screen and can be so annoying. Great that you have the whole game though.
Sorry, thought I was improving the video, not the other way around.
You know, I've seen that effect be much worse on other videos, I only see it slightly in yours. But yeah I uploaded a video once and it gave me a side by side comparison with youtube's correction of the picture and I looked at it and noticed the youtube corrected half had the picture dancing a lil bit. And I didn't think it actually enhanced the picture any. Mess around with it some and see for yourself tho.
@@billny33 don't complain know it all just watch
Ray Charles. You got the right one baby!!!!
