I expect Disney to set a new record in ass kicking ... maybe 66-67 yards.

He was awful.
My dog could have coached those Bears teams.
Let McMahon do whatever he wanted (he did anyway) and tell the defense "go get the ball".
The "legends" of Ditka & Ryan were PR nonsense.
One of the best teams ever, & they only made it to one SB.
BTW, the defense, the next year, not running the 46, gave up fewer points under Tobin than the SB year under Ryan.
That team would have been better off with no HC or coordinators.
