It's easy, and only takes a few moments.If I recall correctly, it was a great start with special teams, then the Pats settled for 3, then it looked liked the entire Bears roster was lining up against the offensive line. Every snap looked like a jailbreak with a wave of defensive lineman sweeping over whomever had the ball. I just cannot watch the replay of that game. But up to that point, dreams of greatness and a Cinderella story in the making.
"Squish the Fish" - check.
"Berry the Bears" - not so much.
Bears 46
Patriots 10
I taped it. Thanks for spoiling the end.
Tony Eason goes fetal when Wilbur Marshall is 5 yds away ! Could you imagine Brady ever doing that !
This was one of my most painful patriot memories. I actually stayed home from school the day after.
The Pats just needed to make some plays and this game would have been competitive. Also, the coaching was not very good. Bill and Brady would have crushed the Bears.
I wish someone would show the AFC championship game from 85. In contrast to this game, that was my favorite moment.
...but anyway we should also credit Tony Eason if we arrived there...
and he had overall two awesome seasons
concerning the Super Bowl XX: ok...it was a massacre...no doubt...it was the first FULL game i was able to see...i was happy (very happy) when Tony Franklyn made 3-0...but then...
With all due respect to John Hannah, if he's mad at Eason for SB20, he needs to look in the mirror because his performance that game may have been the worst of his career. The Fridge owned him.John Hannah to this day has not spoken to Tony "the skirt" Eason.
I watched the replay last night. The whole thing was a blowout, no question, but the energy level changed a bit when Grogan came in. I wished he had started. They would have lost, I just think it may not have been as bad, they were already down by 20-3 when he came in.
