Steve makes a good point, that teams really didn't run the offense needed to beat the Bears after that Miami game, which is kind of weird. After Andy Reid and Jim Johnson came up with a defense that slowed down the Patriots in 2007 every team the Pats faced ran that exact same defense in every game, even when it wasn't a great fit for their personnel.
Welcome back.

Well Chicago's only loss that year was when they played the Dolphins. So, if your hypothetical Super Bowl happened, it's likely to be remembered the in the same breath as SB XLII.
Not only was the game played in Miami as has already been noted, but Jim McMahon was also injured and did not play in that game. In the Super Bowl with a healthy starting QB on a neutral field? I don't think the Dolphins win the rematch.

In that quote:

us, our, our, our, we've, ourselves, we, we, we, our, I, our, us, we, we, we're, I, my.

The Ryans are absolutely breathtaking in their pure narcissism.
There are few things in the world that are as pure, and that I enjoy as much, as your hatred of the Ryans.
