Describes Buddy Ryan all right. What a berk.The Bears one loss in 1985 was a MNF game against Miami.
Buddy Ryan called incessant blitzes against Marino, leaving Gary Fencik and Dave Duerson in one-on-coverage against Clayton/Duper. The blitzes were usually so ferocious that it didn't matter who was covering because no QB had the time or arm strength to take advantage--but now they faced a guy with one of the strongest and quickest releases in the history of the game.
The story is that Buddy Ryan was about to alter his strategy until Ditka showed him up on the sidelines by yelling at him, and at halftime threatening to whoop his ***. Buddy's ego took over and he kept calling blitzes out of spite.
Ditka would not have dared take over play-calling because he knew Buddy was revered by his players and there would have been a mutiny.
So, a perfect season was ruined by a stupid feud.

4th and 26, Packers vs. Eagles
Weirdly, I can't remember if I actually watched the game, but I think I probably did because I definitely have had the 38-24 score stuck in my head forever.The Bears one loss in 1985 was a MNF game against Miami.

This was the first NFL game that I ever watched on my own.
I thought the game where the Bears still have an asterisk for the final score would be mentioned by their fans.Trading up for Mitch Trubisky.
D Rose tearing his ACL up double digits with a minute left. Bulls Basketball ended that day.
This didn't get me at all.........i was still in bewilderment at the 12 men in the huddle coming out of a time out when they were already in FG range pushing them out of FG range to force Favre to try and make something happen forcing the INT. The INT never happens without this dumbfounded bafoonery that is Brad Childress. UGH.*I did the same with the Favre interception,
2009 NFC Championship.
As a Viking fan, of course I despise the Packers, but I always had the upmost respect for Brett Favre and very much enjoyed watching him play during his career. He seemed to have that kid on a playground aura about him. 2009 was such a fun year to be a Vikings fan. Every game was exciting to watch and you never knew what was going to happen. NO destroyed him during that championship game and course later we found out why. They still had a chance to win that game and in classic Favre fashion he threw the across the body throw that led to the INT and ended the game.
It was such a let down, not only because they didn't go to the Superbowl, but because that season was such a magical season and a fun season to watch and it was over. I think that was the most "let down" I have ever felt at the end of a season because I knew it would never be the same again.
Gary Anderson.

The thing people sometimes forget about that one, following McCree's idiotic decision to try to return the INT, and the subsequent strip fumble, Marty panics and throws a challenge flag to try to get the obvious strip and fumble recovery overturned. The challenge predictably fails, costing the Chargers a time out, which they really could have used on the last drive of the game to get noodle legged Nate Kaeding closer for the game tying field goal attempt he failed to make.I was just about to write that one.There are lots of painful moments in Chargers history, but...

That Chargers team was loaded, the best chance in franchise history so far at a Championship (apologies to the 94 squad that actually made it to the Super Bowl, but everyone knew they were going to get boat raced by the 49ers).
40% in line with the thread titleLord I have many.
1. Being at the greatest football game I ever saw live. January 2nd 1982 Chargers at Dolphins 41-38 loss. Down 24-3 and right before halftime my dad looking at me saying....let's go....and I said no way. Then the hook and ladder....the rest is history.
2. Being at the Orange Bowl yet again to witness Hail Flutie....in the pouring rain all day...the BC Eagles pulled off one of the greatest plays in college football history vs Jimmy Johnson's first year as head coach at the U. Of course the Hurricanes would go on in future seasons to dominate the college football world for two decades.
3. Being at game 7 of the 1997 World Series and watching the then Florida Marlins become the very first wildcard team in NL MLB playoff history and then winning it all on an Edgar Renteria walk off single.
4. Being at the Orange Bowl in 1985 to watch Dan "The Man" Marino dismantle the vaunted "Monsters of the Midway" 85 Bears defense to hand them their only loss of that teams season. All the 72 Dolphins walking on the sidelines.....the aura was real. The place was shaking.
5. Watching SS Alex Gonzalez walk off game 4 in the bottom of the 12th vs the Yankees in the 2003 World Series with a line drive HR to LF.
That's off the top of my head.

Art Modell abandoning Cleveland as the then Indians were losing the World Series is right up there with this.Mayflower moving vans.
Took me 12 years to get over that. Beating them in the 92 NFC championship game out there felt bigger than beating Buffalo 2 weeks later" the catch" Montana to Dwight Clark
Felt like someone stabbed me in the heart

When I saw the release date of the new NCAA game I thought about our old league, tons of fun!
A lot of people don't like him, but I very much enjoy him calling Viking games. He sounds like he lives and dies with every gameFrancisco Cabrera is always my answer and likely always will be.
I see the Gary Anderson miss mentioned a lot. I happened to be in attendance at Sun Devil stadium for the McCown to Poole game. I just figured Vikings fans would appreciate being reminded of that one.
