Disagree. For YEARS Payton was the Bears. He suffered through years of mediocrity and was the good soldier. That was the last chance for him to score in that game and Ditka took it away from him. It might not have been aimed against him directly, but putting in Perry was intentional.
Upset a little bit? Sure I get that...maybe even harbor some resentment towards the HC? I can even get that...but devastated? The guy was an absolute wreck. That's crazy.
AND Morris already had a TD.
I thought the Bears team was going to be unbeatable for a long time. They never got close again. Skins kept wrecking their chances.
