The 85 bears would be demolished, 40yrs would be too much to overcome.
Favorite team of all time, but let’s be honest. A pure 46 defense would get absolutely shredded by the modern NFL offense, regardless of the insane talent that they had. And Walter Payton and that offense would play more like the Derrick Henry Titans or CMC Panthers than anything else.
The amount of flags thrown on them would castrate their entire scheme
Bringing the eighty five bears into the twenty twenty five league would be about as effective as bringing the 1966 ford lamon’s team to compete in twenty twenty five.
They wouldn’t understand the game, they’d be way outclassed but it wouldn’t matter anyway, because they’d all be banned for substances that have been banned in the n f l for thirty years
Why bring them to the present when teams will do to them what they did in 86?
There’s a reason why the 46 defense doesn’t get used anymore

I’m picking up prime Marino, prime Zack Thomas, Jason Taylor, a combo of 10 pick season Xavien Howard and prime Brent grimes, never losing a game again
They’d probably get beat 35-0
Love everything about that team, but… Even if they were taught modern schemes, only a handful of those guys would translate to the modern NFL. Athletes today are so much bigger, stronger and faster. The Fridge was an anomaly back then but now, everyone has big athletic guys.
Some would still be great. Walter of course is a given, some guys on the defensive line, Singletary, probably all the HoF guys in general.

I can hear the “personal foul 15 yards”
🎶we are the bears shuffling crew🎶

Sure would be fun to watch though.
