The best thing for the Bears would be for them to fire the entire coaching staff, dump Urlacher at the end of the year (he's too pricey and slow), get a completely new offensive line, and to start drafting defensive players since the entire defense is getting old at the same time.  Oh, and maybe they can pick up a tight end that can catch and a couple of recievers that can do the same.  Marshall can't do it all by himself.  

Besides for that, I think that they are looking great.  

How do you go from 7-1 to 8-6?  The finger has to be pointed at someone and that someone is the head coach.

I dunno about dumping Urlacher. If you can negotiate a much lower salary (I know), I'd say he's still worth it: he's lost several steps since his youth, but he really is a "smart linebacker" that still brings a lot to the table.

The rest of it is true.

I do know.  They need to dump him.  Look.  I know that Urlacher has been a great player many years for the Bears, but what I have witnessed from him this year reminds me of Mike SIngletary's final season.  He sees the play, he reads it, and he can't get there.  It's actually very depressing to watch.  He should retire after this season, because his days of being a great linebacker are over.  Otherwise the Bears should let him go somewhere else if someone wants to pay him big money because you know that he'll want it.

Also, I think that the Bears need to dump Devin Hester.  He isn't returning kickoffs or punts for TDs anymore and the experiment with him at WR has been a miserable failure.  

By dumping these two fat salaries, the Bears can aquire some decent offensive linemen.
