Can it be done? 07' Pats vs. '85 Bears

After hearing Bill Parcell's mild attempt to compare the 07' Pats to the Super Bowl Shufflin' Monsters of the Midway, I thought why the hell don't we at YCS do it since we do everything 10x better than those hacks on the Extra Sexual Party Network.

Imagine a game pitting the high octane Patriot offense against a stout, murderously great Bear defense. Brady and Moss against Hampton and Singletary. And lets not forget the hoodie against the sweater vest; the grin vs. the 'stache; Belichick vs. Ditka.

Now, maybe it is because I was raised in what has become known as "The Era of Ditka," but I have always believed that while it would be a close, tight game, 'da Bears would be victorious. And just to show that this is a completely objective view of the two teams, WhatIfSports.com ran 1,000 simulated matchups between the teams, with the Bears winning by an average of 20-17.

Some argue that the Bears would have had the same fate agaist the Patriots as they did against the Miami Dolphins when that dick Nat Moore turned Wilbur Marshall into his own, personal bitch. But as Lee Corso would so, "not so fast my friend!"Mike Mulligan points out that Ditka would have played cornerback Reggie Phillips and benched Dave Duerson or Gary "Hitman" Fencik.

An achilles heel for the Patriots is they are vulnerable to good pass rushing defenses as shown against the Eagles, Giants, and Ravens. When Tom Brady doesn't have time to throw that play-action to Moss downfield, he becomes very ordinary and not much better than Eli Manning.

On the other side of the ball, people forget that the Bears had the league's #1 rushing and time possession offense in addition to Speedy Willie Gault as a slightly shorter version of Randy Moss. Over the course of a 60 minute game, those old as dirt linebackers the Patriots have would no doubt get buried by the o-line and Walter Payton.

This comparison shouldn't diminish the fact that the Patriots have had a great season, but lets keep things in perspective about this being the greatest team of all-time. When looking in-depth, strong cases can be made that several other teams could beat this New England juggernaut, including the '78 Steelers.
