For those fans too young to have seen this game…

Fun time.....very fun time.

Just wish I was too young to rember it......lol

Giants 21-0
Rams 24-0
Patriots 46-10

Patriots should feel honored it scored 10 points. The Bears allowed over 10 points only 5 times that season.

I think my favorite stat from this game was the Bears defense surrending a grand total of 7 rushing yards.

I was in attendance for this game. Amazing time.

I always liked McMahons brashness.


But as a Pats fan since the '70's...Fuck you.

My man Steve Grogan, 2nd best QB in Pats history!

Well...he and Doug Flutie are probably tied.

Only TD was complete garbage time against backups, too. It was 44-3 when they scored that TD.

Not to mention, the field goal only came because Walter fumbled at the Bears 20. New England gained negative yardage on the drive (as they did for the first half). It's not like they moved the ball and scored on the vaunted Bears starting D. Not at any point did they or anyone accomplish that in the playoffs.

Ya,NE had Walters number that day......that was their no.1 focus,they were not gonna let him beat them....they concentrated on him so much,they forgot about rest of the team.

And its still sad Walter never got that SB td......

Ditka screwed that up.

Ditka screwed that up.

Gotta agree......not sure how he could have forgotten him......
I know Ditka tried a couple times,but NE pretty much knew he was getting the ball.
But when they were first n goal at the one,and Jim McMahon snuck it in,there should be no answer to that......
Perry runs one in from the one,that was first n goal and we were up 37 - 3 at that point and time.....
We were up big time and the game was already out of control,so who cares if Walter didnt get in on 3 tries each time.
Its not like Grogan was was going anywheres.

Both times from the one and Iron Mike never tried........

walter did not need that td to cement his legacy. doesn't bother me a bit and probably doesn't bother him either.

I think it did. He felt the running game had become lampooned with the whole Refrigerator thing. They showed one play in which Payton turned and headed directly to the sideline as soon as the ball was snapped. He'd been around too long to embrace that bullshit. I'd be pissed as well.

if this is true .... i think less of him.

I don't. Dude, he was in his 11th season. His career was winding down. He earned a TD. I think he felt forgotten. I'd be pissed too.

 

[saturdaysarebetter]

I blame McMahon as much as Ditka. McMahon couldn't audible to a running play and let Walter fly over the pile like he did so many times near the goal line? McMahon had to selfishly QB sneak in a TD. McMahon couldn't say in the huddle, we're getting a Walter a touchdown now do it!?

Remember, in the regular season, Dan Marino was good enough to beat the '85 Bears. In the post-season, he couldn't beat the '85 Patriots - at home, in Miami. Outplayed by the great Tony Eason.

sorry, i disagree. nobody 'earns' td's. i don't know where this idea comes from.

 

[averagejoe]

As much fun as that whole season was, if it were possible, i'd want to jump on a metaverse timeline and see the Bears play the Dolphins in SB XX, since they tarnished the record. Thought for sure the Fins would beat the Pats to advance. Serves them right I suppose.

I get it if you said Ron Dayne didn't earn a TD, but not Walter.
