We're the shufflin' Crew, shufflin' on down doin' it for you! Grin

Yeah, option 1. There are so many great stories about that team. I bet I have ten books on them. I sort of remember them - I was young, but I certainly remember the fog bowl from '88. It was like Ditka summoned up the fog or something.

Incredibly lucky. They would have lost to the Dolphins or Chargers in the SuperBowl and the 49ers in the NFC Championship if those matchups had occurred. They had no defense for the 3 WR set that was only used by those three teams at the time. This is fact.

The '84 49ers were better.

They beat the 49ers earlier that year 26-10 in SF (Ditka was arrested for drunk driving by the CPD when he got off the airplane and tried to drive - imagine if that would happen now!) and SF lost to the Giants in the first round. The Chargers didn't make the playoffs in '85 and were a .500 team, I think. The Bears would have destroyed the 49ers in the playoffs that year. 

Miami is admittedly the only team that could have really challenged them, but I think they would have beaten Miami n the SB. When the Bears lost to Miami they weren't playing very good or very disciplined football. Hell, they barely beat the then lowly Colts at home in Chicago the following week. They would have adjusted their defense against Miami and played them more like SF. The Bears would have won about 33-24 or so.

They're probably the best team to ever take the field.  Hard to argue with a 15-1 record, outscored opponents by over 250 points, shutout their opponents for the NFC playoffs, then thwomp the Pats in the Super Bowl.  Week after week was a blowout for that team, and they hoisted the trophy at the end.

They were the best NFL team that year. The Dolphins capitalized on Buddy Ryan not changing his Defense and ate them up. But in hindsight it was what the Bears needed because they got rolling after that. Their SB performance was epic minus not letting Peyton get a TD.

Should have won another title but they could never get it going again.
