The 85 Bears scored five defensive TDs. They also forced 54 turnovers, which was the fifth highest total since the beginning of the 16 game schedule. This gave their offense a lot of short fields and put them in a position to score a lot of points. Anytime anyone thinks of the 85 Bears they think of their defense.
He wears down because he’s doing something completely different than he did in college. We have him moving all over the place. He’s having to take on double teams all day. He’s having to adjust something very different. He was never used as a pass rusher in college. The 85 Bears had a number of players that could get to the QB. They had strength and great quickness, which led to a lot of jail breaks. Your dream is just that, a dream! Lol
Micah wears down because he is doing something different than what he did in college. Thank you for agreeing with me. Micah is playing DE in the pros and he gets worn down playing the run. Hasn't Micah been talking about adding size this offseason? Richard Dent played at 255 and Micah was 245 last year.
Parsons is having to do everything, open your eyes! He provides most of our sacks. The 85 Bears D didn’t have players doing something different, having to adjust to the NFL. They had a veteran defense with a lot of experience. They didn’t depend on one player to get a majority of their sacks. They had several players that had to be accounted for who got sacks. You couldn’t simply double-team one player to neutralize them. When Parsons is neutralized and worn down we struggle to get to the QB, which is why our sack totals dropped later last season. The 85 Bears had 5 defensive TDs and an incredible 54 takeaways. I’m starting to wonder if you even were around in 1985 watching that great 85 Bears defense. I loved our 92 team, but they would’ve had their work cut out against that Bears defense. Don’t forget Mark Stepnoski was undersized at center at 269 pounds.
Parsons getting worn down is also directly related to his size and responsibilities. Read the article and that is the discussion.
Parsons came in his rookie season at 250 pounds. He’s getting worn down because everyone is focused on stopping him. He’s having to take on double teams, chop blocks and he’s being held. The 85 Bears had a stacked defense with a number of players who could get to the QB. This is why they had so many jailbreaks to the QB. The 85 Bears scored a lot of points because of the defensive TDs, and the 54 takeaways. They would’ve been more than capable of getting turnovers against our 92 team. The Cowboys had a great team in 94 but lost by 10 points in the playoffs because of three turnovers against San Francisco. The Bears offense got a lot of short fields because of all the turnovers their defense forced. You can’t just disregard Willie Gault who had olympic speed and Walter Payton who put up over 1500 yards in 85. The 85 Bears put up over 40 points in three games that season. The 92 Cowboys only scored over 40 twice. The 85 Bears scored more points than the 92 Cowboys. The problem with you is you’re wearing your Homer cap too tight. Lol
Wow, McMahon and his 2300 passing yards would be handled easily by Dallas defense. Look at Bills offense and how did they do against Dallas? How about the Steve Young and 49ers? You see the 46 defense was new and innovative in 1985. Bears had some good players on defense, but the 46 code was not cracked yet in the NFL. Why didn't the great Bears team make another SB after 1985?????? No answer here????
You’re obviously not grasping the points I’ve made, because you’re such a Cowboys fan you refuse to be objective. Glad you brought up the Eagles because they did have a real good defense in 92 and they destroyed the Cowboys in week four 31-7. They picked off Troy Aikman three times and sacked him four times. Our OL had no answers against their defense. By the way that defense didn’t have Jerome Brown because he was killed in a car accident three months prior to the start of that season. The 91 Eagles defense was better with Jerome Brown and Reggie White. Most have that defense ranked in the top five but still well below the 85 Bears defense. You’re too focused on the DL. You have to look at the entire 85 Bears defense. Their line backer play with Wilber Marshall was outstanding.
The Bears D would have been on the field too long and wore out.
The same applies to you
Hard to pick against a team that went 15-1 with the all-time greatest defense in NFL history. The 92 Cowboys had some problems against good defensive teams that season. Go find a poll that has the 92 Cowboys ranked ahead of the 85 Bears and we’ll continue this. Safe to say this discussion is over. Lol
