Yeah, totally agree. I've always thought Singletary was overrated. That's blasphemy, but he was surrounded by physical studs who were mismatch nightmares. He gets so much credit because he was the leader and called defense plays. The outside LBs Marshall and Wilson were flat out feared. I've been watching old 85 Bear's games and those outside LBs really standouts. The Bears weren't really that much better than other good teams in 85, but those 4-6 mismatches kept offenses like the Pats from doing anything. Their offense was good because their defense completely shut down offenses. McMahon was actually pretty bad at times.
@@kevinwilson7112 Yeah, I mean he was every bit as good as guys like Harry Carson, so probably does belong in the HoF. You have to wonder if his legal battles with teh NFL got in his way. That LB group was the best ever and they complimented each other so well. Singletary was really good especially in coverage, but he got inordinate credit compared to the outside dudes. Dent, Hampton and Singletary got to the HoF, but others were but as good during the Bear's heyday
One of the greatest RBs of all time + God tier OL + Best Defense of All Time + Amazing special teams + Good QB + Awesome WRs + Ditka + Buddy Ryan + The Refrigerator = The greatest football team in history
@@JessyFinch when healthy he was as good as any in the league, rated number 2 in the NFC and his won vs loss ratio was insane as long as he was a bear. Look it up. His football IQ was higher than most QB's. Shame he and Ditka couldn't get along in the end, but that was mostly Ditka. He's still the most memorable QB in Bears history.
I still have that Superbowl on VHS! I can't play it anymore, but I remember watching it every time I was home sick from school. If Buddy Ryan & Ditka could've gotten along they'd have won 3-4 in a row. But there were to many big egos & they couldn't be contained. That season when I was 8 years old made me a Bears fan forever.
I went to school with the Fridge. Not that tall but he did use up the whole width of the Athletic Dept corridors. I never get tired of watching the ’85 Bears. I hear there’s opposing QBs from those days who still wake up from terrifying nightmares.
Ditka was the last coach hired by Halas and he changed the culture with the help of Jim Finks. This whole team had attitude right down to their coach. It's sad to say that the Bears of today are a empty shell of their former selves.
@@sludge8506 disagree. Both coaches need each other to win that 1985 Super Bowl. How many Super Bowls did each coach win after they went their separate ways? Zero.
Some of Wilbur Marshall’s hits would be illegal now, but man was he a hitter. One of the most vicious linebackers ever in his rookie season in 85. They show the hit on the lions qb, but he was knocked unconscious from it. Nasty.
What was impressive about this team was that they were 8-1 including playoffs versus teams with 10 or more regular season wins; only losing in Miami without McMahon! In the playoffs they went up against 3 teams that were a combined 32-16 in regular season and only allowed 10 points against all three teams, scoring 91 points themselves. The NFC that year was defensively dominant, especially in the playoffs. The only team in the NFC playoffs that lost and scored were the 49ers that lost 17-3 against Giants. All other games were shutouts and Chicago dominated them all convincingly!
Yep, Frazier and Richardson are overlooked as the corners. But they were the key , in Buddy’s 46 they spent the majority of their time playing on an island man to man!
I remember all of them, we thought we'd get as many Super Bowls as the Steelers a decade earlier! If we could've just kept McMahon healthy & Buddy in Chicago......! Great memories from an equally great season!
@@Tubalcain422 bad match up for the Bears, because of Mario quick release. That Mario would beat them 9 out of ten times. The only QB in history that most likely can.
For whatever reason, it's rare for great defenses to be great for more than one season. The 2000 Ravens, 2015 Broncos, 1990 Giants are the examples from my lifetime.
They had personality conflicts and they were somewhat of a one trick pony with the 4-6 mismatches. Their offense was barely above average, and McMahon was a mediocre QB outside of 85. Team like the Niners figured out the 4-6 mismatches, and that was it for teh Bear's dynasty
They were SO much better than anyone else in the league those coupe of years. It was just insane. I wish I could remember more of it than I do, I was fairly young. Thankfully, we have RUclips
Man that's what I'm saying I was born in 84, and I JUST found out how insane of a team these bears were. Put em up against Brady's fairy ass they woulda ended his career. Tom wouldn't have made it as far back in the 80s with these powder puff rules today.
#13 was always my favorite. Marshal sacks the QB who fumbles, The Fridge jumps the pile, scoops up the ball like a chocolate cake and rumbles 60 yards the other way before he's gassed.. Love it!!
I was in the 7th Grade when this Season began, and I watched every single second of these games! Never missed a moment. This Team, the Individuals AND the _TEAM_ , is what made the NFL what is is today! That is not hyperbole or an over exaggeration. It true.

The entire NFL Fanbase loved this team! Well, except for maybe up in Green Bay... but who really cares about Green Bay?!? Anyway, my 2 favorite players back then were Walter Payton and Richard Dent, and I got to meet both of them (along with The Fridge and Dan Hampton) at a Bears Function right after the Monday Night Game against the Packers... The one where the Fridge scores his first TD! This season was simply Magic. All around... just Magic! The Greatest Team of all time!
On defense there was Richard dent and singletary. They had many other good players but I mainly remember dent and singletary being mean on defense.

Problem is the dolphins won more than one super bowl and in a row this bears team is like the 1986 Mets of nfl history am I wrong ? Only saying that because they should have won more
I agree. There have been a lot of great teams. Maybe one could argue that some of them are better, or would beat the 85 Bears. That's missing the point. There are great teams .... but the 85 Bears ARE Football. That's the difference. They had a guy named The Refridgerator and he looked like a cross between a refridgerator and a large bear. He lined up right in the middle.
I was only 3 in 1985 so I missed all of these Bears teams. At least I caught the second half the Bulls dynasty, but Ill always be jealous I never got to see the Bears win.
Should’ve won 3-4 SuperBowls in this era but McMahon kept getting hurt. Should’ve never let Marshall go either. He went on to win the the Superb again with the skins. So many what if’s but at least we won 1! Still one of the greatest teams ever! My Bears!
They had personality conflicts and they were somewhat of a one trick pony with the 4-6 mismatches. Their offense was barely above average, and McMahon was a mediocre QB outside of 85. Team like the Niners figured out the 4-6 mismatches, and that was it for teh Bear's dynasty
@@brianmcmahon1546 It should also be noted that from the mid-80s through the mid 90s, the NFC had some historically great dynasties, the Skins, the Giants and the Niners. During this era, the NFC won 13 straight Super Bowls often winning by blow out margins. This is also what the Bears were up against in trying to repeat or win another SB with that group. In another era, the Bears could well have won multiple SBs
@@Chasstful sports are a funny thing. You can have something great going but other outside factors prohibit a team or player from winning. There have been so many amazing 2nd and 3rd place teams/players that were good enough to win but then they got beaten by an even better team/player and they never quite got the glory they had potential for.
@@Chasstful the offense wasn’t the best ever but with that defense and a running game with Walter Payton they didn’t need to score a bunch of points. That defense could stop any offense from any era
@@jazchristian7536 That defense was incredible in Supel Bowl 20. The Patriots would have done better if they mismatches. The offense was helped tremendously by getting great field position every time as well as dominating time of possession. To be called teh greatest ever you have to be elite on both sides, IMO. 89 or 94 Niners or 93 Cowboys or mid-70s Steers were more complete teams with HoF QBs
@@Chasstful I’m from Chicago and literally watched every game that year and was super bowl shuffling with everyone else. I truly believe they were the greatest but I admit I’m also biased. I respect your points though. Those 49ers teams were also favorites of mine giving that Jerry Rice my all time favorite player so I’m not mad at that
The 1985 Chicago Bears was the only team in the NFL History to win the Super Bowl with the 15-1 record just like any other NFL teams that have a 15-1 record but failed to win the Super Bowl. The 2011 Green Bay Packers have a 15-1 record and lost the playoffs. The 2015 Carolina Panthers have a 15-1 record and lost their second Super Bowl to the Denver Broncos. -------------------------------------------------------------------- If one of the NFL teams will have a 18-0 record this season and win the Super Bowl. Which NFL teams are you rooting for!
I remember them being champions elect way before the mid-season point - unlike anything before or since until NE in 2007 - and we all know how that ended. It was the most long-established SB inevitability ever, by perhaps the most famous and iconic team of the Superbowl era.

Problem is the dolphins won more than one super bowl and in a row this bears team is like the 1986 Mets of nfl history am I wrong ? Only saying that because they should have won more
I agree. There have been a lot of great teams. Maybe one could argue that some of them are better, or would beat the 85 Bears. That's missing the point. There are great teams .... but the 85 Bears ARE Football. That's the difference. They had a guy named The Refridgerator and he looked like a cross between a refridgerator and a large bear. He lined up right in the middle.
I legit cried tears of nostalgia on play #3 when mcmahon tied that with a bow catching the ball in the end zone from walter
I was only 3 in 1985 so I missed all of these Bears teams. At least I caught the second half the Bulls dynasty, but Ill always be jealous I never got to see the Bears win.
Should’ve won 3-4 SuperBowls in this era but McMahon kept getting hurt. Should’ve never let Marshall go either. He went on to win the the Superb again with the skins. So many what if’s but at least we won 1! Still one of the greatest teams ever! My Bears!
That's why I always say they are the 1986 Mets of nfl history
They had personality conflicts and they were somewhat of a one trick pony with the 4-6 mismatches. Their offense was barely above average, and McMahon was a mediocre QB outside of 85. Team like the Niners figured out the 4-6 mismatches, and that was it for teh Bear's dynasty
@@Chasstful I can’t say I disagreed unfortunately
@@brianmcmahon1546 It should also be noted that from the mid-80s through the mid 90s, the NFC had some historically great dynasties, the Skins, the Giants and the Niners. During this era, the NFC won 13 straight Super Bowls often winning by blow out margins. This is also what the Bears were up against in trying to repeat or win another SB with that group. In another era, the Bears could well have won multiple SBs
@@Chasstful sports are a funny thing. You can have something great going but other outside factors prohibit a team or player from winning. There have been so many amazing 2nd and 3rd place teams/players that were good enough to win but then they got beaten by an even better team/player and they never quite got the glory they had potential for.
That #3 play is spectacular.
the defense gets plenty of praise and they deserve every bit of it,
but the 85 Bears offense was just outstanding.
im a packers fan and I still think this is cool!
Name another team that got a top 50 plays in one year I bet you can’t not find them
Willie Gault was so fast wtf
Thats why he went to the raiders lol
He was on the US olympic team for track, won a gold in the 4×100 relay
This bears defense would've buried this chief's modern day offense hands down!!!!
The last play is without question, the greatest and most glorious play in Bears history!
Greatest team ever
The 86 Mets of nfl history
I don't agree. The offense was too mediocre to ever be in the GOAT conversation. After 85, guys like Bill Walsh made adjustments, and it was over
@@Chasstful the offense wasn’t the best ever but with that defense and a running game with Walter Payton they didn’t need to score a bunch of points. That defense could stop any offense from any era
@@jazchristian7536 That defense was incredible in Supel Bowl 20. The Patriots would have done better if they mismatches. The offense was helped tremendously by getting great field position every time as well as dominating time of possession. To be called teh greatest ever you have to be elite on both sides, IMO. 89 or 94 Niners or 93 Cowboys or mid-70s Steers were more complete teams with HoF QBs
@@Chasstful I’m from Chicago and literally watched every game that year and was super bowl shuffling with everyone else. I truly believe they were the greatest but I admit I’m also biased. I respect your points though. Those 49ers teams were also favorites of mine giving that Jerry Rice my all time favorite player so I’m not mad at that
The greatest Defense of all time in my Book.
Best team of ALL TIME
That d line pressure is unbelievable
BEARS-DITKA-SAUSAGE-BEARS!!!
85 Bears were a PROBLEM
Next, the ‘08 Lions’ top 50 plays
Okay, now that's just painful....
Top 50...Bahahaha 🤣 rewind wayyyy back
The 1985 Chicago Bears was the only team in the NFL History to win the Super Bowl with the 15-1 record just like any other NFL teams that have a 15-1 record but failed to win the Super Bowl.
The 2011 Green Bay Packers have a 15-1 record and lost the playoffs.
The 2015 Carolina Panthers have a 15-1 record and lost their second Super Bowl to the Denver Broncos.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
If one of the NFL teams will have a 18-0 record this season and win the Super Bowl. Which NFL teams are you rooting for!
1989 49ers? They went 15-1 and won the Super Bowl.
@@j.a.greene3523 1984 SF 49ers.

Yep, you're correct. My bad.
I remember them being champions elect way before the mid-season point - unlike anything before or since until NE in 2007 - and we all know how that ended.
It was the most long-established SB inevitability ever, by perhaps the most famous and iconic team of the Superbowl era.
