Urlacher Done for Season

[pbmax]

That is, pretend you're a European/South American soccer player.

Wrong message Fritz. They should pretend they are Jim Brown.

Thank you Tony. I just wish we could still get excited about good solid "legal" hits, instead of always crying about any hit. I never saw AR or any of the Packer players or staff complain yet some on here are convinced that it must have a cheap shot only because that shot was a solid one on their star QB.

Everyone needs to acknowledge this game for what it was, a good hard hitting defensive game plan and play from both teams. I loved the defensive play on both sides of the ball, I just hated the play that gave up a TD for you guys to win.

Back from your timeout already?

I too say let em hit the QB; however, the league has said they won't allow it...so call it then. Same play, or even less violent, and the result has consistently been a 15 yard penalty.

As I said before, there is no doubt in my mind that Urlacher was only hitting Rodgers to hurt him, no reason to tackle that way if he was going to get to him in time. If he thought was going to get the sack, he would have swatted the arm and wrapped Rodgers up. Instead he turned his shoulder and lowered his head because he knew the ball was already out.

Is that wrong? Maybe not, but if it isn't at least a bit questionable, then why the hell are you so intent on proving me wrong?

Hey, I'm not the only one proving you wrong, your own fellow fans on here are doing it quite nicely. You have just chosen to ignore their post.

And like I said, it is a reason why NONE OF THE PACKERS or their staff complained about the hit for even a split second. Because that is a hit any player would put on a QB if they get a chance. Just like if a QB throws a Int and he is going to make a tackle, a person can cold cock him from the side without him looking. Now it may not seem cruel, but we are not playing a game of badminton here.
Wow, Urlacher was trying to inflict pain on a opposing player? What a mean defensive player! How dare he!! He is just supposed to grab their jersey and asked them to lie down softly.

Your post is a classic sir.....a football player trying to hurt another one...who woulda thunk it

I have only read this page so bear with me if I'm off base. I thought the Uhrlacher hit was illegal, should have been a flag. We had similar situations with cutler where our guy let up. He took a full step after the ball was gone and lowered his shoulder. He had a TON of time to let up. If it were manning or brady there would have been a flag (or favre).

Worse yet was when he did the hook slide and 2 bears jumped on him. Blantant violation of the rules. Should have undoubtedly been 15 yards. Right in the rule book....Hook slide, don't touch. Can't be any more black and white really.

I'm actually sad that Urhlacher is out for the season. Why? Because the Bears have 2 games remaining against the Vikings and only one against the Packers. I'd like it if the Bears won precisely two of those three.

Yeah, you should read all the post in regards to Urlacher.
In regards to the slide...if the players launch themselves at a QB and THEN he slides, then it IS NOT ILLEGAL. Any QB can just slide when he sees players launching at him, but it will NEVER be called.

Yeah, Urlachers sideline to sideline speed will be sorely missed when facing AP.

I call Bullshit on that last statement.

I know rt?!

But to be honest, Briggs is their best LB at this point

[NewsBruin]

When asked to comment on Urlacher's injury, Jay Cutler replied,

"Pussy."

Then they are fucked. He was non-existent lastnight

No he wasnt.....you guys ran away from his side all night, Even when Rodgers would roll out it was always to the opposite side of Briggs. He is always a force.

But that being said, he has been the best dominate LB for the Bears the past 2 years. Urlacher was the best all around LB though.

I think his ability to diagnose the opposing offense and what plays are being run will hurt more than his physicality on the field. Huge loss of a team leader.

When linebackers are having good games, you don't necessarily hear their name all the time. For example, Hawk had a very solid game last night but you hardly heard his name called at all.
