Offense and defense, this is always a contradictory coexistence, football and basketball are the same, and the same is true of rugby. And the law of "offense wins, defense wins championships" is also common to all ball games.

When people talk about the NFL's defensive powerhouses, in addition to teams such as the Pittsburgh Steelers, Baltimore Ravens, and Buffalo Bills, the Chicago Bears are another top defensive team in the league with a long history and tradition, and the 1985 Chicago Bears are the best choice in many of the all-time best defensive groups.

The Chicago Bears' defense was at its peak, and they were described as a "hopeless" defensive group by the league, and even the top defensive group that no one has been able to surpass in their long history, conceding 258.4 yards per game and 12.4 points per game over the course of the season, both of which are league-leading and league all-time records.

During the regular season that year, the Chicago Bears relentlessly crushed and trampled every offensive group in the league, and almost no one was able to form an effective resistance, and they lost only one game in the entire season.

Dan Marino's Miami Dolphins defeated the Chicago Bears at home, but only if there was no offseason week, the Chicago Bears won 12 straight games and lost the game 24-38 after being physically and mentally exhausted.

In addition, throughout the season, the Chicago Bears have achieved an excellent record of 15 wins and one loss, and have made great progress to the playoffs, two games in the division and the conference finals, and have kept consecutive clean sheets against their opponents, and entered the Super Bowl without any suspense; Facing the New England Patriots in the finals, the terrifying defensive team still showed no mercy, "46:10", with an absolute advantage of 36 points, brutally and bloodily swept to the top.

It's worth mentioning that in the Super Bowl game, the New England Patriots' ground offense was only seven yards advanced. Poor seven yards.

At the time, the technical support of defensive coordinator Buddy-Ryan teamed up perfectly with an all-in-one top-tier defensive player –

Defensive ends Dan-Hampton and Richard-Dent, linebacks Mike-Singletary and Otis0ilson, safety guards Dave-Duerson and Gary Fencik.

Each player is a top player in his own right, with defensive talent and discipline, scoring 34 interceptions and 60 tackles in a single season, and a net difference of 258 points in a single season is the fifth-highest in the 1970 Super Bowl era.

In addition, it should be noted that the Chicago Bears also had the league's first ground offense that season, which objectively limited the amount of time the defense could play. In other words, in their limited playing time, the defense team still delivered the best in history, man-to-man defense, raiding quarterback tactics, and quality ground defense, successfully dominating the game, and they were a problem to solve.

As the second-oldest team in the league, the Chicago Bears were once the league's top hegemons, they won the league championship eight times, and after entering the Super Bowl era, they won the Super Bowl in the 1985 season with a sweeping momentum, and the team has Walter Payton, Sid-Luckman (Sid-Luckman), Clyde-Turner (Clyde-Turner) and other famous names in history.

If you count it as a Super Bowl winner, the Bears, who have only entered the Super Bowl twice, won one and lost once, don't seem to be on the list at all, but in fact, they are one of the greatest and best teams in the league. In the history of the Chicago Bears, they have retired a total of fourteen jersey numbers, the most in the NFL; In addition, they have a total of 28 players inducted into the Hall of Fame, which is also the highest in the NFL.

Needless to say, the history of this team is an integral part of the NFL.

After the last glory of the 90s, the Chicago Bears entered a new period of pain, missing the playoffs for six consecutive years after 1994, finally returning to the playoffs in 2001 and appearing on the Super Bowl finals stage in 2006, unfortunately losing to the Indianapolis Colts led by Peyton Manning and not being able to make it to the top twice.

After that, Chicago fell into another slump.

In the five years from 2007 to 2011, the Bears only made the playoffs in 2010, losing to their rivals Green Bay Packers in the league finals. In addition to this, they are always trapped by their own mistakes, and often drop the chain at critical moments, just like last year-

In the tenth week of the regular season, they still had a seven-three record and took the lead in the playoff race, but then suffered a five-game losing streak, and despite beating their rivals Minnesota Vikings in the final week of the regular season, they still declared an 8-8 record and missed the playoffs.

In other words, they have the strength, but they are always missing the right shot.

The Chicago Bears now have a luxury defensive team worthy of the Pro Bowl level:

Defensive end Julius Peppers, defensive tackle Henry-Melton, cornerbacks Charles Tillman and Jim-Jennings, perimeter guard Lance-Briggs.

All of them are the league's top existences, and the biggest name is undoubtedly Julius Pipes, the 2002 Carolina Panthers selected the star of the list, the 2010 season transferred to the Chicago Bears, won the best defensive rookie in his rookie season, is currently a seven-time Pro Bowl selection, three All-American First Team, three-time All-American Second Team, and has occupied a place in the league's All-One Team of the First Decade of the 21st Century.

The best form is Charles Tillman, who was one of only four players in the league to be voted Weekly of the Week at least twice in the 2012 season.

The veteran cornerback, who entered the league in 2003, seems to have suddenly opened his career last year, being selected for the Pro Bowl for the first time, and this year he has reached a highlight moment, even enough to equal JJ Watt, becoming the biggest defensive player in the league at present.

Creating drops, defending positions, and tackling in a timely manner, Tillman's play at the cornerback position can be said to have reached the extreme, just dropping the ball as a technical option, and he has collected six stats so far, leading the league strongly, which shows his strong attack power in defense.

The Chicago Bears have the second-highest defensive group in the league so far, behind the San Francisco 49ers. Among them, the ground defense ranks second in the league, and the pass defense ranks first in the league, especially the tactics of front-line pressure and tightened defense, which smothers the opponent's offensive group like a turtle in an urn.

The Chicago Bears' offensive group is a little less starry than the defensive group, but in fact, they still have an upper-average offensive group.

First, they have a Pro Bowl-level running back, Matt Forte, who is considered a top running back on par with Minnesota Viking superstar Adrian Peterson, who is currently in his fourth career and has only four running wheels in a single season with better running yards than him in the last three years, even better than Shawn Lynch in "Beast Mode."

Second, they have a potential future Hall of Fame-caliber wide receiver, Brandon Marshall, who has racked up 1,000-yard catches in five consecutive seasons since entering the league as one of the 119 rookies in the fourth round since 2006 and is the first wide receiver in history to accomplish such a feat on three different teams.

Third, they have a quasi-elite quarterback, Jay-Culter, who was drafted by the Denver Broncos with the 11th pick in the first round in 2006, and in 2009, the Chicago Bears made the biggest trade in franchise history, signing Cutler and starting the journey to equip their offensive team.

In fact, just by reading Cutler's passing stats, that's a good quarterback.

In addition to his rookie season, he has passed more than 3,000 yards in four consecutive seasons, and in 2008 he surpassed 4,000 yards; He has scored more than 20 touchdowns in four consecutive seasons and has also possessed the ability to run the ball, has made more than 40 running attempts in four consecutive seasons, and has scored touchdowns in four consecutive seasons.

In other words, he's a traditional pocket quarterback, but he's able to run his way out on his legs in a crisis situation. It sounds like a weakened version of Aaron Rodgers, but fans of the Green Bay Packers, who are rivals in the same district, affectionately refer to Cutler as a "good friend".

Why?

The two sets of stats speak for themselves: four consecutive seasons with more than 15 intercepts, 26 in 2009, and 27 touchdowns that season; Six consecutive seasons have conceded more than five, 10 in 2010 and seven in 2011.

In other words, Cutler alone can lead to double-digit ball conversions in a single season.

Sometimes, the entire defensive group plus the offensive group can't necessarily concede double-digit possession throughout the regular season – and that's certainly the case a lot of the time.

So, what exactly is the problem?

Cutler is the problem, at least one of them.

The Chicago Bears' record over the past few years is the best example of this, with seven wins and nine losses in 2009, 11 wins and five losses in 2010, and eight wins and eight losses in 2011.

But Cutler is the best choice for the Chicago Bears quarterback position, and you can see the scarcity of good quarterback positions in the league.

Will they repeat their mistakes this season?

Judging from the current record, the Chicago Bears are the champions of the North Division of the National League, beating the Green Bay Packers, the sworn rivals in the same district, firmly holding the top spot, and the results of seven wins and two losses are also particularly eye-catching, the two defeats were lost to the Green Bay Packers in the second week of the regular season, and last week lost to the Houston Texans-

Both teams are strong opponents.

This week, they are about to face a third strong opponent, the San Francisco 49ers!
