Kreutz, Jones, Des Clark, Alex Brown, Ogunleye, Briggs, Peanut Tillman, Ricky Manning, and ROBBIE GOULD. Yes, the kicker was a LARGE part of the team's success that year.

If we had Kurt Warner there's no way he doesn't come in at some point during the season when Grossman's having one of his bad Rexgames. I mean look at what Warner did without a great defense like the Bears had just a few years later in Arizona. Warner took Arizona to a Super Bowl like I said with not so great of a defense in Arizona. With how good are defense was and are running game was that year there's no way we don't beat the Colts in the Super Bowl if we have Warner instead of Grossman.

Just 1 good QB away from winning a championship! It still hurts to this day.
Yep, Bears we’re really good overall as a team, but the QB position was just a game manager…
What was one thing that Rex Grossman did wrong?
I still get goosebumps watching hester run that kick back we were so close to winning that superbowl
Lol man after that return I just had bad feeling cuz it reminded me of the gators Ted gin jr returning the opening kick off and they lost that game.
If Only They didn't give it to that deadbeat Cedric Benson
@@nathanmccumber2614 I hate to say it but our Defense gave up that game. C'mon, they gave up 29 points!? They just gassed in the 2nd half
@@mr.mcmagpie6606 they had a blown coverage assignment with the wayne touchdown and gave up a touchdown late after the colts intercepted. You are so wrong before that interception the bears could of took the lead they were only down 22-17 . The bears couldn't move the ball the entire game the defense kept them in the game
@@mr.mcmagpie6606 I think that Grossman was the biggest factor in the Bears losing. He turned the ball over too much, and it showed.
Alot of people hating head coach Lovie Smith. He's the only head coach after Ditka who got us to a the Super Bowl. Yeah we lost, but we got there...
Hot take, He’s the best coach we ever had
@@isaacwojo3273that would b buddy Ryan
I Still remember an amazing stat I heard during this season. At the halfway point when they were 7-1, they had the best point differential of any team in history after 8 games
I was in 5th grade during the 2006 season and I still remember how incredible every game was. Best season i have ever seen. The Cardinals game was nuts on MNF! The Super Bowl was also crazyyyyyy
Super Bowl XLI was the first ever football I saw. I was 13, I was in 7th grade at the time. Seeing Devin Hester return that opening kickoff for a touchdown was an awesome experience.
Chicago should've ran Thomas Jones more in the Super Bowl...this still stings in 2020.
Ron Turner for ya.
The closest we ever got to 1985. By far the best team in the 2000's. It was unfortunate the offense could not stay on the field in the Superbowl to give the defense a break. Payton Manning ripped us apart in the second half. I tip my hat off to Manning. As devastated as I was, I was still happy Manning got one. Unfortunately, it was against us.
This season happened the year I was born. Just living with my dad I became a bears fan around 6 years old and I've had nothing but heartbreak ever since I wish I could have seen this 😭
If Mike Brown and Tommie Harris were healthy, Indy wouldnt have a chance.
joemomma if we didn't have fucking Grossman
joemomma yeah, those were two devastating losses. Our best player on the d line and our best player in our secondary we really needed them to beat indy.
if Cutler was the QB during these years we would have won a couple...
Bro mike brown is the biggest what if in the 2000s bro was cold 💯
@@TTSCAM Mike Brown had an outstanding football mind. If only his body could have matched his football IQ. He really is a great example of "what-if." And although I vaguely remember Tommie Harris slipping somewhat in 2006, that could have been because of him being hurt. I could be wrong but that's what I remember. I do wonder how things would be different if Harris and Brown had been at full strength. But injuries happen and a team has to overcome them.
Hester was a incredible talent and will always bring a smile to my memories of Da Bears!
I’m a chiefs fan but I sort have always rooted for the bears. Love the uniforms and their history.
Devin Hester was so big in a lot of their wins that season I wish the Bears kept him around longer than they did.
Seeing those old stat lines at the bottom on the ticker is a shot of nostalgia
What stands out most about that team was the Toughness and the heart! Something the Bears lack today.
Miss these guys
Watching this because for some reason a bunch of 06 bears stuff is showing up in my recommended 😂
ParadiseParksInc like what man? I’ve been trying to find more vids
Its crazy how the dolphins ended the bears undefeated season in during the 05-06 season the same way the did in 1985 such an enigma yet a coincidence
Clintonious Pro-Maximus and they lost in Miami in the Super Bowl.
What’s even more remarkable about the 2006 win was that the Dolphins were able to snap the streak in Chicago-cold weather doesn’t deter teams hungry for a win!
@@Skys147 and they lost the last Miami matchup - in Miami, back in 2018
My sweet home Chicago 1986 left for Cali with my Super Bowl souvenirs that year . Best move ever. Now moved again in the tropics.
2018 is our year! Bear Down!
I keep coming back to this video every time the Bears don't do well.
Such a great season
It was?
@@robertpreston2220 we went to the super bowl, yes it was
@@WFM we lost like typical bears
@@robertpreston2220 no shame in second place, a lot better than we’ve been able to pull off the last 14 years
@@WFM WHich is sad. I mean look how many teams have 5, 6, 7 super bowls and we cannot even win two in all these decades. Even hick town Greenbay has much more success than big city Chicago
What’s happened to this franchise breaks my heart
Every year I hope Virginia will sell the team.
Ya right , just sell Bear history for the new USA? Greedy owners and to many darn rules in this league, end result, fans being disgruntled, team owners that don’t know anything, to bad the greed has found its way to players now!
My favorite bears season ever.. I was only 6 years old in 85 when they won the Superbowl...
That was a special team.
I love nfl yearbooks watched all of these as a kid
This one hurts a lot
Devin Hester single-handedly made this team Super Bowl contenders in a single offseason.
That defense too
Bears from 2006 and 2010 deserved to be champs...
This Bears team was special to me because it had smart, solid guys up and down the roster who didn't make mistakes. They had superstars, yes, particularly Urlacher and Hester, but the rest of team was full of smart, consistent players who may not have been stars but who didn't make mistakes. Kreutz, Jones, Des Clark, Alex Brown, Ogunleye, Briggs, Peanut Tillman, Ricky Manning, and ROBBIE GOULD. Yes, the kicker was a LARGE part of the team's success that year. Had Mike Brown and Tommie Harris not gotten injured, they would have been the second coming of the 85 Bears.
Need players like this in today’s era
I remember watching the cardinals game at 9 years old with my pops. We were almost in tears watching that last drive and waiting for the field goal. So lucky he missed lol
I was In 6th grade this year. My dad got us tix to the Super Bowl and I remember when Hester returned it we were all going nuts. After the game though I cried the whole car ride from Miami Back to the Northwest suburbs of Chicago lol.
Damn how the years goes by I hope before I pass away like my father saw the bears win in 1985 I wanna see them win in 2022
It’s so random to me that this bears team made the super bowl. As a non bears fan I had to do research to find out they were a very balanced team. Wanted them to beat the colts
🏈🏈🏈👏 Chicago Bears 🐻
I got emotional watching that game I cried when they lost
Here because the 2019-2020 Bears are making me sad.
I'm glad where back to a 4 -3 defense the way it should be 2022 let's go
Mat nagy show this to the bears now
Bring my era to todays Chicago bears 🐻 and see what happens
THE BEARS ARE WHO WE THOUGHT THEY WERE!!! CROWN THEIR ^&&ES!!!!
Doder donik
This was our year!
Bears should have won this Super Bowl.
I miss the White on White unis...
I'm a Bear....4 life
This was, as of 2023, the last time we saw the Monsters of the Midway dominate the NFL
Devin Hester was just inducted into the Hall of Fame
Devin Hesters opening kick return for a TD just goosebumps and chills...after i saw that i honestly thought the bears were destined to win...but peyton manning found a way
Man, that was a good team. So close . now the Bears are so far away. Hopefully we get back soon.
Now this is what happens when the Bears do not play the Super Bowl in the land of Jennifer. However the Bears were flat out dominant in the regular season. They won a majority of their games in the land of Jennifer, but the Seahawks made it interesting in the divisional playoff. The Bears let the Saints come marching in up in the land of Jennifer, but when it was over the Saints went limping out. Ballgame over. Bears win. Super Bowl bound.
Bears sent 8 players to the Pro Bowl (x2 offensive, x3.defensive, and x3 specialists) and some even to the All Pro teams that same year.. The team was literally a QB away from being the most perfect Champion ever. But we were stuck with Jekyll & Hyde "quarterback" Rex Grossman, and suspended NT Tank Johnson / injured DT Tommie Harris leading up to that Super Bowl Sunday. They all deserved better and for the many HOF's or RoH players / coaches, I just wish they'd gotten that Ring... Bear Down (1,2,3 Space Mountain!)
Devin Hester was the offense lol but man miss that 06 bears defense
Whenever the Bears find success, it’s never because of a great offense-it’s ALWAYS because of a phenomenal defense (specifically featuring LBs like Singletary/Urlacher and edge rushers like Dent/Mack), a capable running game, and great special teams. It will be interesting to see if the formula can be repeated to another Super Bowl title in today’s pass-happy NFL with rules mostly geared against defense...
Yes the NFL is geared to offense. Cold winters in Chicago and being on Lake Michigan makes passing the football so difficult! That is a big reason why the BEARS never had great QBs.
No and until the Bears realize it's no longer 1985 they will continue to be mediocre at best.
One day soon... the Bears will be champs again.
Mannn it’s been a long time I hope we get back to business and get back to the ship
I remember that Hester super bowl return like it was yesterday. 🐻 down
I remember this team Thomas Jones Man he rush ball super bowl I thought bears where going win Crush me dat year they didn’t
Man I will never forget this year or the super bowl and how freaking sad I was after. Grossman actually had a very good year considering his size issue. If he was as tall as Cutler he would have been a great qb. (At 14:04 look at the dudes shoes, he has his 13s *Jordan's turned into cleats lol)
Firing Lovie was the biggest mistake the Bears ever made. I hope Eberflus brings it back.
If Kyle Orton plays, we win that SB. I know, I know...if and could and might have, woulda coulda shoulda It still hurts a bit...
The voice at about 18:10 sounds like that black coach who shouted shower up!! in the movie "Rudy"
Still hurts they lost but they for sure had the chicago mentality. They were gritty and would play hard and go down swinging for lovie
Indeed this was a great season with a very painful ending unfortunately!!!!!! If Cutler Bears had the 06 o line we would’ve definitely won a few championships. We should of stuck with what got us there in the championship game a heavy dose of Thomas Jones sprinkled with a lil Benson and then hit them with Rex play action. The Bears game plan had Rex out there throwing the ball like he was Manning.
I remember watching the night game against the Seahawks. The TD pass to Berrian (6:30) was the smoothest-looking play... I thought to myself "They're going to the Super Bowl this season." Sadly, the wheels seemed to start coming off the wagon for Grossman during the Monday Night game against Arizona. It was a shame because he looked dynamite for the first five games of the 2006 season, and was the NFC offensive player of the month for September of '06.
So the Bears had two straight games against the Giants and Jets, both at the Meadowlands, that season. I bet they stayed there that entire week?
Why does no one mention the epic game the 2006 Seahawks and Bears had in the divisional round playoffs that year ? That was ONE helluva game! Bears got the win in OT, definitely the best playoff game that year …
That was definitely an underrated playoff game. I'll have to disagree that it was the best playoff game that year, though. That one will have to go to the Patriots, Colts AFC Championship Game.
@@BroncoJosh … That was a good one also agreed …
I like how during the bears vs cardinals highlights, the camera cuts to Rex Grossman after each defensive touchdown as if to say "you're freakin useless"
Once the bears part ends, what DVD is that segment from that started going over the 2006 season?
Angel Ramirez I’ve been wondering too man.
Is sucks that Rogers owns Chicago Bears cause Rogers wasn't there in Green Bay the DaBears will own the NFC North Division and be in the playoffs every year........"DaBears34"
Rex and the monsters of the midway !
TJ and Hester
I always loved it when Lovie tried to be fired up. It was so not in his nature, lol.
How do we not win it all
I wonder if the Bears could've won against the New England Patriots in the superbowl that year if the Colts would've lost to the pats in the Afc championship
They should've been able to beat the Colts. They were good enough to beat anyone that year.
Man if only the Bears would have signed Kurt Warner instead of Brian Griese. If that happens the Bears win the Super Bowl against the Colts. After the 2005 season when the Bears went with Orton all year they knew they needed a veteran backup behind Grossman because he keeps getting hurt all the time. They went with Brian Griese. If we had Kurt Warner there's no way he doesn't come in at some point during the season when Grossman's having one of his bad Rexgames. I mean look at what Warner did without a great defense like the Bears had just a few years later in Arizona. Warner took Arizona to a Super Bowl like I said with not so great of a defense in Arizona. With how good are defense was and are running game was that year there's no way we don't beat the Colts in the Super Bowl if we have Warner instead of Grossman. We had a chance to but chose Brian freaking greasy. Smh
1985 Bears is all we will ever have sadly
Robert H There will probably not be another Mike Ditka, another Walter Payton, another Gary Fencik, another Richard Dent, another Mike Singletary, another Wilbur Marshall, another Jim McMahon, another Willie Gault, another Dennis McKinnon, another Keith Van Horne, another Jay Hilgenburg, another Tom Thayer, another Steve McMichael, another Dennis Gentry, another Shaun Gayle, another Dave Duerson .......
Robert H The only things that Chicago will ever have in terms of a sports dynasty are likely the Bulls and the Blackhawks. The Sox and the Cubs and the Bears will most likely be one and done.
Sadly that is true because the nfl does not allow fun or real football anymore
Sad but true. Bears of the 80s should have been a dynasty if we had had a better head coach
Scooby Carr there will never be another Walter Payton.
I squarely place the blame for this Super Bowl loss on Lovie Smith. Refusing to make defense adjustments, taking Thomas Jones out of the game, and so on. Lovie allowed himself to be outcoached, and he was either too stubborn to do anything about it, or he was comfortable with it.
To many haters on Grossman he had a good season,in top 4 QBs in the league,and they had a weak lineman(O) and by end of the season they had an Oline that could be considered no better than decent,lot of people forget Benson was on this team
Fun fact, Grossman has as many NFC championships has Aaron Rodgers 😂
CALEB WILLIAMS 🐻 ⬇️‼️‼️‼️
At 0:50, Colts #28 tries to tackle Hester with one hand. NFLRigged BillionsInBetting.
Why can't they do it 2020 season
Its "Rashidi" Davis NOT Rashid David...........Just ask Brian Billick
2018 BEAR DOWN
Hester is a number 99 in madden in my book
Tough loss just a few missing pieces
Rex Grossman Jekyll & Hyde
Hopefully my boys get back to respectability sooner than later
The Bears reached the top of Space Mountain, but they couldn't plant their flag
No 1985 defense was great not the 2006 defense-- Something named prhill made this -- totally UNFAIR comment --- that mid 80s team was repeatedly exploited in the secondary -- pass rush made all the difference back then and even there they had to usually line up 8 men on Line of scrimmage
Vasher: “Let’s watch how they do it so we know how to do it next time”. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck
Bears are switching back to cover 2 defense. Lets bring it back.
I don't ever remember the bears being good. Weird
Rex wasn’t great but boy was his deep ball pretty
Bears should of won that sb....
