Totally understood Donman, the memory I had 10 years ago isn’t what it used to be either…

Roy Taylor, thanks for the clarification on that.Sometimes in my faltering memory I get a bit mixed up. Kudos for the help there.

Hey Donman, actually Wilber Marshall was still a Bear, not only for this game, but for the next season. He became a Redskin for the 1988 season. I also believe it was ’88 that Fridge had the broken arm.

Very memorable and sad yes. Top 25 …. maybe, but don’t forget MaCasky would not pay Wilber Marshall and he was on the other side of the line that day.Wonder if that had anything to do with carving up the BEARS that day? Dont forget FRIDGE broke his arm and didnt factor much.

How in the world Jay Shroeder was able to carve up the Bears is still a mystery. He had somebody in his face all night and blindly threw up passes that came down straigt to Art Monk.

Mostly unrelated sidebar…I was in 4th grade at the time of this game and I was studying my state’s (Indiana) History in my Social Studies classes. One of the people we studied was Revolutionary war hero George Rogers Clark. I remember thinking ill of the guy at first only because I had linked (mistaken) him with Redskins RB George Rogers, who had 28 carries in this game. Ah kids – we can be silly!

As a 9 year old fan spoiled by a memory consisting of only the last 4games of ’84, then 1985 and 1986, this loss affected my tender mind so much I cried! It was simply UNTHINKABLE to me at the time that they’d lose this game. Of course, hindsight clearly shows that the Bears were due to be ambushed by a capable defense that could exploit a team that was getting by on bailing wire & spit at QB all year, so to speak.

This loss hurt, but not as much as the next year’s loss in my opinion. In 1986 the Giants would have been hard to beat, but in 1987 the Vikings were beatable.
