But that season the bears started I think 8-0, or 7-0 and Grossman was leading the league in passing and was being talked about as front runner for League MVP. Their first loss that season was to Miami and he had a terrible second half of the season. But he threw beautiful deep balls, and threw a ton to Bernard Berrian.

Any year my Bears do well, I always watch this game. Never gets old. We got a Super Bowl winning QB as our starter in Nick Foles, stellar defense. Our offense needs a lot more talent. I see shades of '06, 2010 when my team did well. If the Bears make it to the Super Bowl in 2020 it's because the defense. Who knows, anything can happen.

Yea I agree. But the qb position was more or less irrelevant for the bears in that era. They just didnt care. Defense and special teams is what got them to the superbowl, and its what they were relying on to win it all. Who cares how bad your qb is if your getting a pick six and punt returns for tds every game, while holding the opposing team to under ten points.

[@DrSanto91]

True but it wont work every year, the chiefs of the 90s had great defenses but had terrible offenses by the QB. In 2000 the ravens won it all with a great defense. But the next year it caught up to them with their lack of offense and terrible qb play.

I still vividly remember watching this game, and hearing my dad scream in excitement: "He missed it!" Simply one of the greatest games ever for Bears fans.

[@yerkeyss]

Man I missed those days when we had Brian ulacher Devin Hester and Charles Tillman. It's too bad that we lost all three of of these great players

[@gdinme3180]

I met Coach a few times at his Del Mar home. He hangs out with Mariuuchi. He is a real class act and great human being.

[@stevencamp8018]

Kornheiser on MNF...lol...i remember that debacle.

[@JDavis-tj8vp]

[@mikeymclucky]

It's so fun to go back and watch this game as a Bears fan

[@barlescharkley6149]

It's so funny to listen to those clowns praise Leinart and how bright his future was. Lol.

[@squidparty2000]

Kurt Warner: Hey.....

[@bearwrestler32]

I know right!!!! Theisman was kissing his a$$ all night

[@Buttington_Headerson]

Well we thought he was gonna be good. Hindsight is 20/20

[@justinpettit3432]

He was a rookie and a top pick. What were they expected to say lol?

[@justinpettit3432]

Look at any Saints games from this same season and there's probably all this "he'll be a future HOFer" talk during their games on Reggie Bush because people thought he'd be that special back then. Lol.

[@pretorious700]

How good were the Bears defense and special teams? They went to the Super Bowl with Rex Grossman at QB.

[@rodneydavison4025]

Damn I miss those days with Devon Hester!!!😔
