It is not football season. Jim M. was great. It is baseball season.

fuck the patriots. dolphins could have made it to the super bowl and kept the bears at bay again but nooo... pats just had to go and lose the super bowl. dan marino has had too many rings stolen from him.

Is that Mike Tomzcak (sp) at :17?

Tony Eason played with a skirt on, after this game he sent the dry cleaning Bill to the bears front office

Everybody went next-door to the neighbors house to have a party. I stayed at home and edited the whole game on VHS. No commercials

Jim McMahon's overall W/L record as a starter is remarkable given he's not talked about much.

When the offense got on par with the defense then no team could beat the Bears. Here the Bears were so dominant that Dallas didn't have a chance. How the F at 1:00 that wasn't called a for a 15 yard penalty is mind blowing. Singletary went head first and with the crown of his helmet. Today Mike would be given a huge fine and suspended a few games. Hell, he would be thrown out of the game today.

There when Curt said McMahon had 32 wins out of his last 34 starts that says how much the Bears should have won a least another Super Bowl. It is the same theme over and over, he just couldn't stay healthy.

Willie Gault was, simply put, mediocre. He had no "feel" for the game. Jump! for the ball. Don't! let your shoes slip out from under you 90% of catches. Catch the ball! that's what you're paid for.

It just goes to show he still had it.

It really showed if the Bears could get to a Super Bowl, that they could crush anyone and they did to the Patriots. It's really sad that the Bears with that talent couldn't get back. They had their window from 1984 to 1988. When McMahon was playing during 84 to 88, he was 36-5. You can't get a better record than that, but sadly he just couldn't stay healthy.

Too bad he couldn't stay healthy. From 1984 to 1988 he was 36-5 when he played. That is unbelievable and sadly, they only got one Super Bowl out of this.

Someone from the Los Angeles area at that time said to me the Rams are a spoiled warm weather team. I don't know if that had anything to do with the team's loss in this game in cold climate Chicago.

This game sums up the 80s bears... With McMahon healthy enough they were gonna win! Having him out there injured they still win some but without him at all they had a great chance of losing to a good team

6:12 Singletary is like "Dang it feels like a refrigerator just fell on me"

Wow…a QB who blocks. Not in today’s NFL.

Thank u for bringing James F’n Van Der Beek on as an “expert” NFL analyst 😂!! Who gives a f’k about what a Hollywood dumb f’k thinks of anything??!!??!!

Nice throw! Too bad he played his career in a running offense.

I was hoping the Dolphins had played the Bears this Super Bowl year they were a game short

The greatest

I was there, in. Cougar Band.......

Bears (Russia) crush Patriots (America) on 8/5 August 5th 2024 ?

Madden called Jim " the best QB of the 1980's". Tremendous athlete. One of my all-time favorites.

I wonder if Fridge kept the ball he scored with, what it would be worth today?

People love to hate a punky ass QB why can’t we show the same love to Caleb!?

BEAR DOWN

badass quarterback.

McMahon #9

McMahon was so clutch I think he deserves a spot just for that. How many qbs have consistently delivered when the game was on the line. Dude put his body through hell and back.

In my humble opinion, Jim IS a Hall of Famer.

As a Packers fan, I hated playing against Jim McMahon, but he has my respect. Glad he's retired. haha.

Dude, the blind side chop block at 2:34. I get the Game was played differently back in the day, but Hell That shit was savage and probably changed Don Blackmon's life. Damn

McMahon put the ball downfield…like a man. 😀 Would love to see this style come back to the NFL.

Belichick’s biggest mistake in Cleveland was releasing Kosar 2 years after this game. This game was part of what made Belichick offer McMahon a roster spot.

Wow!! Da Punky QB has some great videos of NFL football being played the way it used to be. It was much better back then.

If Bill Walsh was his coach, he would've been undefeated in the NFL.

I'm the punky QB known as Mcmahon.....

Something is missing from this video: all of the passes that barely travel past the line of scrimmage & checkdowns that makes today’s football unwatchable!😂. Thank you sharing this great video. 👍

Jim McMahon knew how to play!

It is too bad the stupid music completely blocks out the announcers. I would love to hear what they are saying. McMahon's legacy was that he would win at any cost. Still and always a Chicago legend. He lead us to the promised land.

How could you not love this guy, what guts he had! A real Leader! And didn't take shit from anybody, including that awful coach they had! The head coach!

Funny that he up playing for a number of teams including Vikings and packers, and rightfully so, he got a shot to smoke Mike mccaskey’s bears.

Excellent video! Putting the dates on some of the throws is much appreciated. It helps the viewer have some context. IMHO Jim McMahon was severely underrated as a QB. Accurate, even when rolling to his left, sold the play action, threw receivers open, SMART, reckless w/his body which is the reason he was on multiple teams but always courageous in the moment. Unfortunately for NFL teams QB availability is as important as QB ability. Thank you for an excellent video.

“I LOVE IT!” Joe Willie Namath’s reaction to the first McMahon TD is priceless

I was at that game as a BYU student. I never doubted BYU would win.

I remember watching this game as if i watched it yesterday . Like most people, i said the game is over they will never come back to win the game . And was i wrong I was in the 8th .grad . I had some friends from school over to watch the game . We were all screming like crazy . My mom had to leave the house because we were all being so loud And when my Dad came home, he was in the basement yealling with all of us . Good times i wouldnt change anything about them . Kids nowadays dont know what it's like to be a kid like we knew it . You see a group of kids riding bikes together it looks strange because you really see it nowadays . When i was a kid, we rode our bikes everywhere. You go by parks nowadays, they are empty . Kids can't be kids now a days because of all the sick people in our country About fifteen years ago i was driving down a side road, and there was this little girl walking in the street she could have been more than three years old . I was going to turn my pickup around and ask her if she needed any help . Then i thought to myself, what if someone thought i was trying to pick her up or she told her mom and dad this guy in this truck turned around and was asking me if i was ok and . So i keeped driving you know we live in some bad times when you are scared to ask a child if she is ok and if she needs help . What a f up country we live in nowadays . The Democrats are trying to destroy our country, and they are doing a good job doing so . You have college kids yealling Death to America, something i thought i would never hear We have Democrats in the senate who hate our country and will do whatever they can to destroy our country . We have millions of illegal immigrants pouring into our country . With the blessing of Joe Biden, ten million illegal immigrants have invaded our country with more on the way As long as Joe Biden is president, they will keep invading our country . Our country is the only country with an open border. Who exactly is coming into our country . Did any tarrist simply walk into our country . How about child molesters how many out of the ten million have a history of being a child molester

The bears haven’t won a Super Bowl since they shitcanned Buddy Ryan & the honey bears cheerleaders!
