THANKS'' JIM'' For The Memorys''

Between 1984 and 1987 - 4 calendar years - JIm McMahon was unbeaten as a starter. 25-0. Still an NFL record. One of the greats, he was a master.

[@white1sox1]

Problem is the Bears played 64 games in the 4 years which means Jim played only 39% of the time. I liked him and he was a good player but nowhere near one of the greats.

[@joeraguso5376]

​@white1sox1 Dude was a playmaker. Problem was his playing style is what caused him to get hurt all the time

[@white1sox1]

@@joeraguso5376 don’t disagree Jim could make plays but it doesn’t do the team any good when he’s out 60% of the time. McMahon also benefited from having one of the greatest in Payton and one of the greatest defenses of all time. But please don’t ever say Jim was one of the greats. He wasn’t even one of the greats from his era!.

I love our Bears as much as anyone. But no matter how flat you make a pancake there's two sides. If Dan and Jim want to keep the beef between them let them .let's just have a good season this year that's all I care about.. Da Bears!!!

McMahon/Mensch.

[@drivesecure2476]

Jim was a tough sob he rook a beating out there if he could of stayed healthy maybe the Bears win another Super Bowl !!!

[@user-sj2hi5fn4m]

We have no interior line. Prove me wrong.

[@joeraguso5376]

The o-line as a whole was 5th in the NFL in pass block win rate last year. Both Justin and Bagent were in the top 10 in time to throw last year. Bagent got sacked at less than 1/3rd the rate Justin did. If you're not seeing what the problem was yet, then I don't know what to tell you...

[@Derrymcg]

There's only one super bowl champion QB in Chicago. Mc mahon!!!!!!! Bear down

[@MrDuds1984]

Let’s relieve 85 again!!!! Come on man stop living in the past.
