Urlacher and the Bears are done. Closest they came was 2005. Seeya in 2025 maybe?

Come on man. If you’re going to smack talk get it right.

It was 2006. It would have taken you 10 seconds to google that.

In 2005 they were 2nd seeded and lost at home to Carolina.

Watch out Bears fans, go ahead and take Luck and my Colts lightly, remember u guys arent SB contenders either!!!
————————–

We’re not?

Actually, I believe the Colts will surprise folks with Luck, and I do not take any team (other than the Vikings, lol) liightly…As for my Bears, they are much improved over last year, with depth at key positions, and should make a strong playoff run…A healthy Urlacher will help this team immensely, but his absense will not derail them completely.

Oh, even better thankheavenfornumberseven ia a Steeler fan and he wants t talk about defenses?!?!? Any educated football fan knows that the Steeler’s defense is the oldest in the NFL and Im pretty sure…and im spit balling here, that they have a LB out with a knee issue as well. He ought to put some wood on his own fire before stepping onto our camp ground.

As for you Hyzers, your obviously out of your realm also. Bears fans that know footbal know that the Bears play the Cover 2 for a handful of snaps in a typical game. My advice to you would be to take your closet team and your barbie dolls back home so you can all spend quality time togather imagining that your perception is reality. Stay in your own sick little world, dont talk to the neighbor kids, and have a nice day fruitcake.

thankheavenfornumberseven?

Pretty sure he’s a Steeler fan. What’s that got to do with Urlacher being 34 with a bum knee and most likely unable to cover the deep middle in the cover 2?

Nothing. Bears will miss the playoffs again and the fans will have a built in excuse.

Told by whom? His brother? A guy he met at a bar?

Stop it. You are making yourself sound foolish.

But, Urlacher has had a fabulous career. If it ends here…so be it. Canton, and a prosperous broadcasting career await him.

My understanding was that he opted not to have surgery choosing to strictly and try and rehab the injury.

He may have been OK during personal workouts but suffered a flare up once training camp started (or got nearer), and the intensity of the work picked up.

Hahahaha what a joke. I like making statements that I know nothing about too!! (NOT) Even if Urlacher cant play the first few games – our defense will still be solid. Roach at the mike and Geno Hayes on the strong side. Both are experienced LB’s. Not Urlacher but definitely solid.

Talk about a blanket statement with nothing to back it up – you going to eloborate on that???

You must be a Lions fan – arent you? Possibly a Packers fan – but typically Packers fans have some sensibility.

Defense will still generate turn overs and get after the QB (like we always have and will continue to do) and the offense will be putting solid drives together while the defense catches their breath.

The only thing that is troublesome are the injuries at safety – however Conte will be back and Steltz is a ball hawk that likes to hit (and has been in the system for like 5 years) both of which will be paired with Major (who needs to have a solid season to keep his job). The rest of the defense is solid and definitely the best in the NFC north.

This is a tough one for me. I’m genetically programmed to hate everything about Chicago, but every now and then they have a player that I can’t help but respect. Oddly enough, mostly linebackers.

I guess the best-case scenario, for me at least, would be for him to retire. He would then be “out of my hair” as an opponent without being completely busted up.

*************************************************

Actually, they just broke up and now they’re just friends. OUCH!

The offense looks light years better.

My nagging thought is this: Couldn’t they have opted for surgery earlier? He had to have had an MRI or two during the off-season and that would have shown the damage. Are we to think he had no swelling at all until he got to practice?
