lol

[@tommyrosati9326]

Yeah I always used to be like that too, when I'd watch old NFL films on TV when I was little, I would see Brett Favre and Antonio Freeman connect a lot and I thought to myself, "wow he's one of the greatest of all time right?" then recently as ive gotten into football stats I looked at Freemans stats and he got pro bowl 1 time lmao.

[@shariffsingh8593]

I remember this game well on the fact pregame, Mike Ditka was the only one that picked the Bears to win.

[@troystephens5735]

Jay Cutler wasn't a bad QB, he definitely doesn't get enough credit.He just threw too many INT, He took Devin armourshodo and got him paid by the vikes. To be fair Cutty was one reason we were in or close to winning a lot of games he was a solid QB

[@MFBloosh]

@@L7890p Bro, he got hurt lol. It was a legit injury. I still think it would've been better for him if he didn't try to ride the bike and come back into the game, because it made it look like he wasn't actually injured and he just gave up when that wasn't the case. Bears fans tore him apart after that and he never really was the same afterwards. Dude just stopped caring 100% and I can't blame him.

[@ericsmith6823]

this year got Sidney rice his payday in Seattle

[@rpgmindandfitness]

Was there. Phenomenal football game, all around. Love the final call by Tirico "Cutler takes a shot for the win! Downfield! It is caught by Aromashodu! CHICAGO WINS!" Then he just let's the atmosphere speak for itself "The road to the super bowl goes through New Orleans". Wow. Talk about EPIC. Amazing game with historical significance (Minnesota couldn't go to New Orleans and win - New Orleans won the SB that year). Amazing commentary.

Insanely underrated game. Thrilling slugfest between two hated rivals on prime time! Was attending Columbia college Chicago at the time and my apartment was off of Michigan Ave and I remember seeing the crazy traffic to get to soldier field hours beforehand. Thanks for uploading!

[@oboecoe]

My brother and I were at that game in the endzone with the winning TD. When that TD was caught we celebrated for maybe 15 seconds and then proceeded to sprint out of the stadium, across Grant Park, and got a taxi. We got back to his place just as the post-game coverage was getting started.

[@cpan5525]

I was at this game 50 yard line about 15 rows up. I have been to dozens of bears games and by far this is the most exciting one I’ve seen still to this day.

[@5OLO]

I remember watching this game when it originally played….as a die hard Bears fan, I was not happy when it went to overtime, but I was on the edge of my seat the entire way…this was fun to re-watch again in 2022….. 🐻 ⬇️!!!!

[@rpgmindandfitness]

We were eliminated at this point, but somehow. I still cared so much about this game down the stretch! haha. I wanted to beat Favre and glad we did. Epic way to finish it.

[@ragnarocking]

Bears and Vikes had some good ones over the past couple decades.

[@Brian00007]

Cutler actually had a nice game

[@alicantino1151]

As Packer fan this was one of the rare times I was cheering for the Bears.

[@thadanzwiggler]

We had Forte, Marshall and Olsen. Plus a dominant D. Too bad we can never find a decent QB.

[@ahsvikings2014]

The Vikings had a real good offense that year. Bears were out of contention and they tried to play spoiler in this game if I recall. I remember going crazy when Hillenmeyer forced the fumble and the Bears winning on Aromashadu’s touchdown. One of my favorite Bears games. 🐻 ⬇️

[@Hybridswimmer]

Yes, Faroe had one of his best years... Rice managed to stay healthy (people were comparing him to Moss at that time), Peterson did his thing and the rest of the team was stacked. 2009 was the best football season in my opinion.

[@johnmaring7056]

You Thought That 💔😢😭💔 Brutal OT Loss In 🥶 & Windy Soldier Field In Chicago Was Tough, Check Out The 2009 NFC Championship Game In New Orleans (Baby Benz Superdome) When A Banged Up, Battered, Bruised & Beaten Brett Favre Threw 2 INT’s In That Game Including That Backbreaking INT @ The End Of Regulation When Minnesota Was Trying To Get Back Into FG Range After The Vikings Offense Got Was Flagged 4 Too Many Men! Setting Up 3rd & 15 Before That INT! If Only The Old Man (Brett Favre) Ran 4 That 1st Down! The Vikings Turned The 🏈 Over 5 Times That 🌌!

[@jaboy8603]

Man, if the Bears had Kyle Orton we woulda at least made the wildcard. Half the season in ‘09 Cutler was making crucial bonehead throws against the Packers on opening week on SNF and against the 49ers on TNF one week. Orton might be a game manager, but that’s what we needed this season our defense was still pretty solid and we had a good ground game.

[@BlazingRaptor]

@@jaboy8603 cap urlacher was hurt all year and the defense was bad in comparison to the other lovie years

[@dash4800]

Watching this era of Bears football is just depressing. The amount of talent we had in this time was insane. We had great defenders at every level. We had a stud RB and TE. We had the GOAT KR in hester, we had an all time great kicker. We had an all time great Center. And then later we added great receivers in Marshall and Jeffery. But somehow none of it amounted to jack.

[@geedavia1785]

That game explains why Peterson ran like a Man Possessed vs. the Bears all these years....

[@menotyou9836]

The Bears brass relationship with Jay Cutler in a nutshell: Young player develops chemistry with Jay? Show them the door. See: Devin Aromashadu, Josh Bellamy, Greg Olsen. Repeatedly firing the competent OCs after short tenures, while sticking with the bad ones for long stretches. The only thing they gave Jay consistently was Matt Forte.. who was already there when they traded for Jay. One man does not save a franchise. Unless that man is Tom Brady.

[@clos24]

Say what you want cutler wasnt good he didn't care but that arm is one of the greatest... if he had more consistent coaching staff not having to learn new systems each year maybe he himself would of been more consistent.
