QB Sack-A-Thon 1-1984

Week 9 of the 1984 season. Part 1. Chicago collects 11 sacks off of Minnesota's QB Archie Manning.

[@hailmaryrecordings8255]

I was a freshman in high school & would watch the games with my dad every Sunday. 1984 is the year the Bears games became “can’t miss TV” in my little hometown in Illinois. Great channel … brings back amazing memories.

And this was one week BEFORE that famous Raiders game

[@pauldeveaux6292]

Loved the '84 Bears D. Watch Todd Bell plant the pulling guard at 6:55. People always raved about Ronnie Lott as the hardest hitting safety, when Bell was just as devastating. He was missed, but not necessary during the '85 run. Remember the hit on Joe Washington in the Divisional round. That hit turned the Bears loose of the Redskins.

[@rcreed77]

Damn!!!! Put his ass down.....

[@richsleyster2656]

Kenny Easley and Lott were legendary hitters. But Bell was a hybrid linebacker playing safety. In fact, Buddy played Bell at safety in Philly.

[@uscgbmcmretired2490]

Right on re-Todd Bell, they lose Bell & Harris for the '85 season & don't miss a beat! Buddy Ryan was a defensive genius!

[@joep2060]

@@uscgbmcmretired2490 yes but thankfully the players played that scheme to a tea 😎

[@michaelkawell5861]

Todd Bell was a beast it was ashame he was let go along with Wilbur Marshall

[@UNUSUALUSERNAME220]

I gotta giggle from the fact that Tim Ryan calls quarters periods, ALL GAME LONG! Then, at the end of the third quarter, the guy doing the graphics puts up, "End of the third period." It's like they had been listening to Tim Ryan say it for three quarters and they FORGOT they were quarters and not periods! Love Johnny Morris calling out the Blitzes every time there's a blitz! Love it!

[@muffs55mercury61]

Not only did Manning get sacked 11 times, he was hit as many or more times on passes. The Vikings would end up at 3-13 & thus one of their worst seasons in their history. All things considered, Manning still had a fairly decent day in passing.

[@muffs55mercury61]

@Coogan Sad but true!!

[@dairyqueennewton7289]

When archie manning is the quarterback you can all be sure it will be a Sack- A-Thon !

[@user-lc7mf3ku7b]

As a 10yr old when this game was played at Soldier. I was invited w my Mpls bud Andris to the return match at The Dome. I gave the 2 tix to my Grandma + Dad. They got to WITNESS THE 46

[@dkitty8124]

i am a lost vista Raider fan. the era of Da Bears is legendary. the best defense ever. the Eagles with reggie white,seth joyner, and eric allen were awesome.

[@jeremythompson9122]

Never knew Archie Manning played in Minnesota

[@russellmurray3964]

He probably wished he never did after this game.

[@thunderlightning1980]

He was with the Saints, Oilers, and Vikings.

[@michaelkawell3300]

The hardest hitting game ever was the same year vs the raiders

[@chrisorr4902]

Commentator Johnny Morris played for the Bears in the 1960s

[@DaDitka]

I'd have to look it up, but I believe Morris was on the 1963 championship team.

[@brianbachmeier34]

Keep them coming! Great channel sir.

[@jaspermitchell3377]

Another nice video. Keep bringing it, Mr. Beau Bear!

[@bazzer124]

Sorry, had to literally laugh out loud. About 12 minutes in McMahon scrambles for a first down and Johnny says "...because he has great peripheral vision." McMahon can't see out of his right eye. Sigh, miss those days when Da Bears were rarely on national TV but we got to see 'em almost every week on CBS. Cheers....

[@mmeatheaddd]

ditka and ryan said the 1984 bears D was the best they ever had... 1984 they did have the #1 D!

[@macurban7946]

mmeatheaddd 84 was better than 85. Hampton said so

[@mmeatheaddd]

@@macurban7946 and see thats the thing haters or people that do not know football think the bears were 1 year wonders or that the 46 defense was good for only 1 year, how wrong there are. the 46 defense was created in like 1978 and the bears had good defenses for years and had the best defenses from 1984 to 1988!

[@olofpalme63]

The '86 Bears had the best D.

[@olofpalme63]

@Tama Kennedy OK Tammy

[@richsleyster2656]

Al Harris and Todd Bell both made the Pro Bowl in ‘84 only to hold out and miss ‘85.

[@jadentrez]

The defense was awesome, but they never really developed the offense and relied too much on the defense later on. The Steelers won Super Bowls in '74 and '75 with awesome defense and a good offense. But they won in '78 and '79 with an aging but still very good defense and an awesome offense. This Bear team just never really developed their offense enough. Otherwise they would have won more SBs.

[@camoanddonuts7894]

Love that Johnny Morris

[@anothercitizen4867]

What happened in the 4th quarter? Did Sir Walter get those 6 yards? What a jip.

[@charleswoodhouse4754]

The Les Stekel days!

[@enlightenedwarrior7119]

Poor Archie got sacked so many times he got stuck on some shit teams

[@joep2060]

The 🐻, could have been back to back champions but in 84 they 🏃‍♀️ 🏃‍♂️ into a buzsaw the niners

[@thomassheaffer830]

Do you have 1984 Bears at Vikings?

[@JohnnyBallgame88]

Awesome

[@chad3452]

i bet the vikings knew before this game that they were in for a long day and it jus compounded ... 11 sacks and turnovers is absolutely getting dominated

[@DoloresAquino-en4cv]

As a bears fan we need to play modern football im so sick of this three yards ans a cloud of dust offense thats why we never had a 4000 yardbpasser thats our history run defense qbs cant develop qbs it infurating

I would luv 2 see some More Dave wannsted,bears teams on here. He still one of my favorite coach,because of his passion for the game,he might not of won A SB but he knew how to get his players going.

[@DavidBrown-wm1up]

Wanny's good games were fun

[@dhart8451]

He sucked. Shit canned by the Bears, Dolphins and University of Pittsburgh. Yeah he really knew how to get his players going, whatever that means.

[@jeremythompson9122]

He sucked as a head coach. Good defensive coordinator but terrible as a head coach

[@ronaldhuey2619]

Terrible head coach. Good defense coordinator.

[@markblix6880]

Wannstedt sucked. He was why I finally committed to the Packers.
