Not necessarily the best game ever, but the best game YOU have ever witnessed. It can be the best moment too. The game didn't even have to be a good one, just good to you. This is purely opinionated.

For exmaple, if I were a Buccaneer fan, it could be beating Oakland in Super Bowl 37. It wasn't a close game, but it wold definitely be good to me.

The 1985 season and Superbowl is hard to top. I was 10 years old at the time and still remember it.

But for game purposes, it was tough to top the hailmary vs the Browns where little James Allen made a diving catch on a tip hailmary to take the game to OT and then Mike Brown's INT return TD in OT to win it.

The single moment that that sticks in my head the most was Keith Traylor rumbling and tumbling about 70 yards trying to return an INT for a TD. At the end when he ran out of gas and looked to pitch it, CLASSIC!!! I still think of that play from time to time out of no where.

Here's a clip, <ROTFL

For me, while the Super Bowl was nice, it has to be when we beat the Patriots in the AFC CG in the 2006 season. It was like conquering our biggest tormentor. It felt like there was no way the Colts were going to lose the Super Bowl after that.

Best game was probably when the Giants ended NE's perfect season in the Super Bowl. Two of the best games I have ever seen.

Yes, that was a good game for bucs fans. The 2nd best game might be their first win next year after they go 0-16 this year.
One of the best games I ever saw was back when the Bears were playing smash mouth, Walter left, Walter right. The late game that day was Elway flinging the ball over over the field, it looked like a completely different game, I could hardly believe it was still football.

Didn't the Bears have to play somewhere else while Soldier Field was being re-done?

Yep, in 2002 after the magical 2001 season. They played at Illini Stadium. My old company rented 2 grey hound buses to go to that game. My buddy still worked there, I didn't anymore, but he got me a ticket. Awesome trip, awesome experience, terrible game. Bears got trounced by the Eagles. It started snowing first, then it turned to sleet, then all rain.

I thought I remembered the Colts and Bears playing a preseason game at Illini Stadium and I thought the Bears had to play there.

Oh yes it did. The Colts ended up finishing 12-4, 1 game back in the standings and had to play a road game at SD, which they lost.

Tennessee had the tiebreaker on the Colts so it really did not matter for the Colts or the Bears. The only difference is the Colts would have been a 13-3 wild card team.

Not to mention the Colts only had about a 70% healthy Peyton Manning. He hadn't so much as practiced that year yet.

Correct me if my memory is failing me, but I think it was '92, and Tommy Waddle did a spin move that put Deion Sanders on his face, Waddle races into the endzone for the walkoff TD.

Hated Deion, Loved Tommy and the slower, wonder-bread possession receiver out-higlighted ol' Neon.

The best game I ever witness was the 1999 AFC Conference championship in Jacksonville. The Jaguars beat the snot out of Dan Marino (his last game and Jimmy Johnson's last game as Dolphins head coach) and the Dolphins 62-7. That was back when the Jaguars had a decent team and great coaching staff. Now, not so much..

That is quite an excuse....

I guess that super bowl win you guys had meant nothing because we didn't have Tommie Harris, a guy who pretty much made our defense what it was in 2006.

And just more fun excuses, the rain really messed up Grossman because of his small hands. If it doesn't rain, and Harris plays. Bears win.

Yay for excuses.

Are you sure it wasn't the divisional round because the Jags have never made the Super Bowl.

my mistake. The Jags lost to the Titans in the Conference championship game. Thank you for pointing that out. I saw that after I sent it and couldn't fix it.

Nothing like the good ole' 1988 Fog Bowl between the Bears and Eagles at Soldier Field. Bears won 20-12.

The best game you never saw.

Here is an excuse: the rain messed up an indoor team in the Colts and caused them to lose.....oh wait.

FYI, the Colts, and indoor team and supposed "finesse" team, had to play in the same conditions the Bears did that day. So stop making excuses for something that happended almost 3 years ago. Why is it so hard for you Bears' fans to give the Colts credit? Here is a new piece of information for you: teams can actually play better than the Bears. Teams can actually earn wins as opposed to the Bears losing them. Newsflash huh? Sometimes teams deserve to win games. The Colts were the better team that day. Face it. If you disagree, then so be it. The Colts walked away with the Lombardi trophy that day, not the Bears. The Bears stomped on the Colts in their 2008 meeting, yes, but it didn't mean anything in the grand scheme of things.

I know some Patriot fans that can admit that the Giants just flat out beat them in the Super Bowl. Patriot fans that I hate, but can admit that their undefeated team were just flat out beat down. And to think that those are some of the worst fans in sports.

How many Bears' fans on here that can admit that the Colts were the better team in Super Bowl XLl? Sure the Bears were missing a few players. The Colts were missing Bob Sanders for 12 games that year and had one of the worst defenses to ever make the playoffs. They still went 12-4. When Sanders came back, the Colts could have beaten anybody. The Bears still made the Super Bowl without Tommie Harris too.
