Is it me or did the loss of Urlacher seem to wirte off the Bears as being competitive this season?
ByAfter all the optimism that us Chicago Bears fans once had, after all of the headlines that the Bears would be good this year, after all of the high hopes that the Bears would contend for the division title, on opening night, Cutler throws 4 interceptions, Forte couldn’t run the ball, Greg Olsen was lost in the lights of Lambeau, the Receivers were oblivious to the game, Vasher gave up yet another big play, and mainly, we lost Urlacher for the rest of the season, our heart and soul on defense. I never really realized how important he really was to this team, until I heard that he was gone for the season. It seems as if these last 24 hours have completely rotated 360 degrees. They looked like a 10 or 11 win team now they are looking like a 6 or seven win team. It makes me sick, I was completely happy during training camp, during the off season and when they got Jay, However yet again, the season starts and every sunday I am left with a feeling of despair. It doesnt help that I go to school in Wisconsin either. I just feel like never watching the Bears again. It pisses me off how inconsistant they are. One moment you think they are going to be great, the next they look totally hopeless…

You played an underrated Green Bay defense that basically shut down Greg Olsen so don’t let that get you down. Even though all the offense needs is a few games to gel together, I think the loss of Urlacher and that other guy with the knee injury severely hurts your playoff chances. I think the passing D was questionable to begin with and you just lost two key components on both the pass and run D.

CHILL. It’s only week 1. Urlacher hasn’t done much in the past two seasons anyway and the Bears have a good LB corps to back him up, or they’ll pick up Derrick Brooks…
Pisa Tinoisamoa will come back and help fill that void, and Jay Cutler and the offense need a game to ‘gel’ together. They might be headed toward 0-2, but they will definitely finish over 9-7.
Remember last season? When the Bears beat the Colts? Imagine how scared Colts fans were when their team was at 3-4. Never lose faith in your team.

It’s good to see from my position as a Packer fan. I live in central Wisconsin and we have far too many people from Illinois here as it is.
