'85 Chicago Bears vs Atlanta Falcons Home Week 12 11/24/1985

[@muffs55mercury61]

Watching Chicago Bears games today 11-1-2019 in memory of Walter Payton who was taken from us 20 years ago today. There will never be another like him.

[@muffs55mercury61]

@staceypayton8 Its still so stunning even now over 20 years later, him being the first to be gone from that '85 team. God be with you all too, thank you.

[@rivotrich7]

Thanks! Always great to hear Madden and Summerall calling a Bears game in the 1980s

[@BillWilson-kd2jp]

They were the best football announcers ever

[@indy_go_blue6048]

Although the quality is pretty bad, I still want to thank you for uploading this game. It makes my day watching any game with the '85 Bears.

[@gls600]

I recall those bad old days when we had to wait until a commercial break to see the score.

[@keysersoze3427]

The ads amuse the hell out of me now.

[@jimlascola]

Madden and Summerall best no biased announcers ever not like today's so called experts...

[@johnrhaganjr5535]

Tim Ryan and Johnny Morris were outstanding too

[@chrisuncleahmad666]

Keep in mind this Falcons team had just upset the 9-2 Rams the previous week

[@johnrhaganjr5535]

Chicago Bears were without Jim McMahon for a third of the year AL Harris and Todd Bell for the entire 1985 season still won SUPER BOWL XX convincingly that showed you how dominant the 1985 Bears wete

[@savoirfaire3469]

Finally a clear picture!

[@tommythomason6187]

Running The Fridge up the middle for a touchdown is smash mouth football.

[@indy_go_blue6048]

Smashed bodies too if he landed on ya!

[@tommythomason6187]

The Falcons were in the game the first few minutes................and that was all!

[@tommythomason6187]

Disaster sesson for Atlanta - nine straight losses, which tied the 1966 expansion team. Steelers really belted them that year, too.

[@peacefulbliss1]

@@tommythomason6187 Steelers didn't play them that season.

[@tommythomason6187]

@@peacefulbliss1 Was referencing the 1984 season. Nine straight losses and a 4-12 record. They played the Steelers in Pittsburgh in 1984. They went 4-12 in 1985, also.

So bring on Atlanta, Bring on Dallas !!

[@davidboda1640]

Bring on Miami

[@christophercameron2141]

LoVe the commercials, brings back memories like the VCR, VHS, Beta?

[@olofpalme63]

The NFL hates the Chicago Bears and their fans so much, that they would rather show a MNF loss to the Dolphins than this 36-0 victory in their complete season package.

[@dconnell4124]

Crybaby

[@sukhastings4200]

The NFL luvs there big city NE teams. The 2 NY teams, the Pats, Philadelphia, the NFL will do anything to make them playoff caliber. The salary cap doesn't truly exist for that group

[@PoliticallyInCorrect1]

Lol the Chevy commercial

[@mathmotivation]

Ah the good old days of orange and green “color” tv!

[@bertmustin]

Jeff Van note played in the 1969.

[@tommythomason6187]

Van Note was given a nice sendoff the next year at Atlanta Stadium. He retired after '86. He had come to the Falcons as a linebacker, I think, in 1969. Became an All Pro center and with Atlanta 17 years. Number 57. The Falcons retired his number.

[@JohnnyBallgame88]

Da Bears!

[@daraquinn5260]

Rocky IV!

[@kevintrammo2503]

Bears hold the Falcons to negative 22 net yards passing, the lowest total since 1980.

[@DanielSong39]

Falcons had -22 net passing yards

[@kenthetalkingpen2518]

This has to be the worst recording and editing but still enjoyable

[@michaelkawell3300]

Another drumming the bears put on atlanta

[@littleblitz8239]

Terrible picture

[@muffs55mercury61]

It's original recording source was likely a VHS tape and they were bad for that. Always having to adjust the tracking.

[@indy_go_blue6048]

@@muffs55mercury61 Yes, you can smell the VHS dripping off of this game. BUT the price is right as is the game until such time as Chicago or the NFL decides to release a package of the '85 season, which is likely to be never.

[@satchhuntzhall1]

In 1985 Chicago didn't have cable tv all the other large cities had but the politicians were fighting over who was going get a piece of the action

[@indy_go_blue6048]

@@satchhuntzhall1 A shame that WGN couldn't broadcast the games. Downstate we watched the Cubs all summer long.
