Urlacher Done for Season

[SkinBasket]

Come on guys...if it was the other way around there is no way you would say that was a late hit. He was launching towards the QB right as the ball was about to be released. Do you think he has the ability to pause in midair like a video game? Not even on Madden 2050 can you do that! lol.

He took two full steps after the ball was released and only lowered his head when he saw the ball coming out. If that's how you want your esteemed defensive leader to play, then that's fine. If it were a Packer, I would still say that the steps were at best dubious and lowering the head was poor sportsmanship - not something to be proud of or show on highlight reels.

Perhaps he broke it on the Rodgers late hit.

i hope so. should have been a flag on that i think. i bet the Pack get more than one apology, from the league, for a bad call this week.

The announcer said it was "good clean football." Bullshit. Urlacher was late, it was borderline at best.

By the way he injured it in the first quarter when he hit the ground after a tackle. He taped it up and told the team doctors he was ok as he went on to play into the second half with what he described as a little pain.
After the surgery they found it to be worse than expected. HE IS DONE FOR THE SEASON.

Tough break (no pun intended) for the Bears. We have to move on and make the most of what they can.We lost two starting LB's that game, yet the defense still seemed inspired and rolling. Eager to see how they try and pull this together.

I agree with you on Urlacher's hit on Rodgers. I like your post. You're a good fan.

I cringe when I imagin how a dislocated wrist must feel! That guy is the heart and soul of the bare's D and they are gonna have a hard time filling that hole.

Apparently they're bringing in Tim Shaw to help their LB depth.

Does anyone know about this guy?

launching? i don't remember it that way. he was running at him and just didn't stop. he could have veered away imo. i wasn't saying i'm glad he's hurt, i never with that on anyone.

They should certainly be calling Derrick Brooks. Cant believe no teams calling him and Marv Harrison

I know

Who wouldn't want a veteran WR who was accused of shooting a man outside a nightclub he owns?

Oh right, and then there's also the whole thing about the accuser bringing a civil suit against Harrison and getting shot to death while sitting in his car. Certainly no baggage there.

I have no rebuttal

The way he launched himself up near Rodger's head, there is no way he meant it as a tackle. He knew the ball was gone and was trying to punish Rodgers. There's really no other good explanation for throwing you head and shoulder at another guys head like that. Zero attempt to wrap up, zero attempt at the ball. He would never have launched like that if Rodgers wasn't fully extended making the pass.

Was it late? Maybe not, but I've seen far closer calls flagged.

There have been post about that in regards to Brooks. Have not heard anything about Harrison.

It was good football. Urlacher crushed him, AR got up game went on. I would HOPE our guys hit that hard...you get a run at a QB you smack him so he gets happy feet...like AR kind of did after Babre was beat for the umpteenth time

Ok, lets just work with facts here. He hit him with a shoulder and did not touch his helmet, not did he lead with his helmet. Do you guys like to watch football or flag football. Get serious. And I gave the link in which you can download the game, I suggest you do so and watch it over again. This is the reason why I normally just engage in TRUE football fans, not ones that swim in Koolaid. I understand being a fan, but to act as if someone is doing something illegal when they have not is just ridiculous.

I never said illegal or late, maybe you should take off the paranoid tinfoil hat (that was provoked by your lame koolaid and flag football comments). I said I had seen closer calls flagged, which I have, that's a fact.

You want facts? Did he attempt to wrap up? Did he make a play for the ball? Would he tackle that way if Rodgers wasn't fully exposed in his throwing motion? If Rodgers had the ball tucked under and was a threat to run, you think he wouldn't wrap him up?

Calling someone not a TRUE (ya CAPS!!!) fan is trolling plain an simple. Go lick your wounds for a few days and cool down before posting again.

Heard on 670 the score the Urlacher hand was separated from his wrist. D.Clark has broken rib.

I don't get it. CLub it up and get out on the field.
