Peej honest question here. How do you hide Fencik from the Saints? If you let Marshall cover Graham you lose the Bears best pass rusher. If you let him cover Graham it's gash city. Fencik Wilson and Marshall are what made that defense, you know it but I know you'll argue Mike.
ETA:
Shaun Gayle isn't the answer either
NICE. OK. The Saints have a GREAT O-LINE and COULD DRAW the Bears prety good. I don't know if you saw the 85 Bears play, BUT I see it as what the Cowboys did in 2009 in the Dome and Brees had problems BIG-TIME. PLUS the Bears O would RUN through the Saints D way more than Seattle did last year. If we are gonna fantisize , LETS DO IT.

with modern training and nutrition I see no reason why these guys couldn't compete at a high level

BUT it doesn't mean YOU know MORE than me. IN THEIR PRIME, THE 85 BEARS WOULD have had a feld day with the Saints offense. YES THAT D was that good. BUT ITs all about what players could do well now. I hAve already stated what I feel. BO would RUN over Ray Lewis. Its a terrible debate really. Sorry DUDE I am a historian and get bashed cause young punks who know nothing about a great game comwe in and talk shite that they don't know about.

They would not have been able to run their base, that's what you aren't getting. The Saints would've formationed them out of their best defense. The Nose and their Edge on strong side (Wilson usually) would've been taken out of game with the extra WR's. They dominated a 1 back team, but always those teams were like the Rams, run first.

Does anyone remember what Marino did to the '85 Bears when the Dolphins spread them out & attacked them through the air?

I agree to a point. BUT We will never know what kind of adjustments THAT TEAM could have done. THINK about it. The rams O was pretty good in 85. BUT I see your point. The 85 Dolphins were an awesome passing team.

And who won that game? The Dolphins

These questions are kind of dumb because each succeeding generation benefits from the experience of prior generations.
There are all sorts of scientists who "know" more now than Albert Einstein ever did but do you really believe they can think better than he did?
Why isn't the question ever asked in reverse? Could today's athletes succeed a few decades ago under more primitive conditions in training, supplements, medicine, etc.? How many of today's studs would be done already because they used to fillet a knee rather than scope it?

Herschel, Bo, Deion (FSU days), and Nolan Ryan would still dominate.

I've wondered that about golf and the old equipment they used.

Back in 1985, William Perry was considered a behemouth.
He was 325.
He was 325.

He's also 6'2". Most of today's 300 pounders are a good bit taller than 6'2".

80s and 70s yes the best guys would still be the best
Roberto Duran would be right there with Pacquiao and Mayweather
Joe Morgan would be right there with Cano and Pedrioa
Guy Lafleur would be right there with Perry and ST Louis
Now guys from the 40s and 50s like Gordie Howe, Ted Williams and Sugar Ray Robinson would probable struggle athletes have just evolved too much

He was also extremely fat, whereas the 325 guys today, even at his height, have more muscle mass.
ETA: Carl Nicks is like 6'4", 343, for example.
