A Crazy Unexpected Shootout! (Vikings vs. Bears 2008, Week 7)

[@jhupp8707]

The Bears scoring 48 seems mind boggling now

[@christiankopec2342]

Well I mean look at this team compared to now

[@TTSCAM]

@@christiankopec2342 we had a solid Head Coach back then Tht da biggest difference they had played hard all 3 phases of da game 💯

[@SageSea1]

they put up 48 just a couple years ago

[@jhupp8707]

@@SageSea1 Ok I’m talking about the team now not a couple years ago.

[@trentholio]

It was pretty mind boggling back then too

[@thunter992]

We need a Matt Forte highlight reel to add to the underrated RB catalog here on throwback

[@kevhead1525]

As good an all purpose back as you will ever find.

[@thomasrobinson182]

Orton too.

[@BJ-jh5is]

I really miss Matt Forte he was essentially Christian McCaffery before we knew who McCaffery even was

[@Qmoney615]

Wouldn’t say all that but sure

[@meatballsportstalk6297]

Matt forte produced for a longer time period

[@andrewnixon7620]

Good comparison. But I think Matt Forte was more of a all around back. Compared to McCaffrey being mainly a receiving back

[@sludge4125]

2.8 yards per carry in this game.

[@richardtherichard26]

He was no where near as good as mccaffrey

[@sports3117]

I remember watching this game and Kyle Orton really started shining before the ankle injury derailed his progress when he returned, but he’s solid quarterback who never had a strong arm, but is accurate with the ball when given time in the pocket

[@JahNuhThunDeeTheOneAndOnly]

Gus Frerotte vs Kyle Orton What a QB duel

[@tyreepowell8367]

Bear Down Sir

[@christiankopec2342]

Orton could’ve been really good

[@ClonedControls]

A combined 215 TDs and 175 INTs... L E G E N D S

[@nolansimard27]

My god Adrian Peterson was THAT man in his prime he was one of the most explosive running backs to play the game

[@Mattypeeperz]

This amount of offense is just obscene, it's 2.7 games of 2021 Bears offense. What a time to be alive.

[@sludge4125]

Yep, 327 total yards in this game. Real impressive. Vikings had 439. 53 yards rushing on 22 carries. 283 yards passing. 20 first downs. Quite an offense. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[@WFM]

@@sludge4125 yeah but scoring

[@tahm22]

Lovie's D gets a lot of credit for how good his Bears teams were, but that special teams was DOMINANT. Dave Taub's unit always came to play.

[@classof2010president]

AP vs Chicago has always been fun

[@JoseGarcia-ox9om]

Trading away Greg Olsen is still haunting the franchise

[@Original-Juice]

That's a real Ted Phillips special right there, glad that ass hole is 'retired' and they have a new Team Prez.

Wore them against the cardinals

[@joshwade9941]

What about Eagles vs giant week 10 2010

[@brandonjohnson3558]

I’m still upset we traded Olsen. We were going to sign him back in 2020 and told Olsen we were pulling the trigger and then they signed Graham instead. Classless.

[@watsonroadster3707]

Typical McCaskey's...

[@sludge4125]

It’s just business.

[@dodgedrivinredneckky3996]

Shitty management. Bears haven't been fun to watch since 2013

[@neilcharge3772]

Do Dallas vs Washington in 2010 week 1 Sunday night. It came down to the last play. It was amazing

[@sbcj9]

I find it kinda interesting that a decent amount if players played for both teams. I believe Benard Berrian and Bobby Wade were Bears, and I think Chester Taylor and Allen played for the players. There might be more, but those were the ones I remembered.

[@TTSCAM]

They were

[@sludge4125]

Nothing interesting about it. It isn’t unusual.

[@jeffbanfieldsflwr3537]

I know Cutler was good, however I wanted to keep Kyle Orton. He was under rated.

[@mjf2891]

It’s crazy how much crisper the picture was on the Pats Colts game from 03 that was just uploaded. I wonder why some older games look better.

[@rand479m5]

The marquee afternoon games have more cameras

[@MustacheDLuffy]

These kinds of television games were designed with non HD TVs in mind. HD teams didn’t become commonplace until 5 years later

[@reverend_wintondupree]

Because the NFL's KZbin channel is lazy in trying to locate all the HD games from 2003 thru 2010. CBS was also broadcasting in 1080i vs Fox's 720p resolution at the time.

[@reverend_wintondupree]

Minnesota Vikings Against Chicago Bears From The 70s 80s And Early 90s Underrated NFC Central Division Rivalry ☺🏈

[@squidparty2000]

Honestly. People shit on Vikings and bears fans for how bad our teams are compared to the packers but forgot that we were the powerhouses of the NFC in the 70s, 80s, and sometimes the 90s.

[@RICHBLACKCOCK]

@@squidparty2000 Marshall running that fumble promoted the NFL to put DIRECTION ARROWS! on the field seasons later. As for the Bengals & bills, they were missing that 1!! element; along with talent & chemistry, that'll get a team to the top: LUCK!

The fear of Hester returns was almost embarrassing.

[@eugenesatele9434]

Wow I can't believe this was a while ago. I thought maybe that it would be a hard run game, but I never expected the shootout.

[@gund2281]

As a Bears fan I still think Kyle Orton was HORRIBLY underrated. We could have won a SB (or maybe two) with him as the starting QB.

[@bjchit]

Delusional.

[@TheBrooklynLife718]

Now it's funny seeing Lovie without a beard.

[@ftwsam2246]

You could say that Jay Cutler had more talent and potential than Kyle Orton. But Orton was MY QB and I never forgave the Bears for trading him for Jay Cutler. That day I switched to the Packers.

[@joeydoherty368]

AP was easily one of the GOATs, but he always fumbled at the worst moments.

[@taylordoebler1209]

Bears should have just kept Olson and Orton. Orton and Gus Frerotte were solid quarterbacks. Good journeyman for many years Frerotte was.

[@a6blue853]

I wish Sam Rosen called more NFL games nowadays. NHL fans are lucky.

[@js_det9137]

[@Original-Juice]

BTW - Really cannot believe what I am seeing Kyle Orton do in this game. He and Olsen looked great

[@squidparty2000]

It’s a shame these bears didn’t win the division that year because they really were better than the Vikings who only relied on Adrian Peterson. These bears felt like a playoff team.
