You know what we folks don’t do often enough around here?
Reminisce about the 1985 Bears.
Those conquering heroes of the gridiron. Those strapping, valiant, indomitable warriors of yore. Those …
OK, that’s enough.
Look, we love the ’85 Bears. Maybe too much. So much, we’ve allowed them to become a punch line of sorts, a collection of old jocks who, like the former sitcom character Al Bundy, never stop living in their football past. The Super Bowl champion Bears are the exemplars of “glory days.”
It’s not all their fault, though. No Bears team has come along since and given the rest of us reason to forget the Shufflin’ Crew. Super Bowl 55 is coming, and that’s a long way from Super Bowl 20. Has it really been 35 years? Because it feels more like 100.
• The Chicago Bears’ six-game season in September and October was fueled by a defense playing with its hair on fire and an offense scraping by with a healthy bit of good fortune. A six-game season from the end of October through early December followed. That football season featured a bad offense, failure in executing fundamentals, and every red flag that called for change imaginable. Now we’re in a stretch where the offense looks good, the defense appears to be reeling, and a push for change has taken a backseat to a plausible postseason run. The writers who scripted the 2020 Bears season are off their rocker. Who knows what they’ve got in store for us next? Not me. I just know that I’m tuning in this (and every) week to find out.
