Sure, and this is why they won a Super Bowl. I'm not arguing that the team was good, or that they deserved the Super Bowl at all. Just that the legend of the 1985 Bears is much larger than reality, and when you start comparing teams from different times you must take those other factors into account.

Anyway, this is a total threadjack, back to the real discussion...
