I'd like to offer you some sort of comfort.

But that's a pretty distinct possibility.

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 am assuming what you say of Urlacher is based on his actions in the last game and later statements about Smith and the fans. Booing your own fans is not proffessional at all and I think this alone should send him out of Chicago. I think Cutler once flipped off booing Denver fans. Fans do not forget these types of things quickl, after all the fans pay the NFL's salary. He should be let go. The statements defending Smith and once again insulting the fans is another reason he should go. The team would be better if they move away from ground and pound style with defense and work on a team that can score a lot quickly. It seems to be a requirement in the league for true success, now that defense in games is hardly allowed.

To be honest, what I said had nothing to do with that.  He has given us many great years and I won't let some foolish comments by him ruin how I perceive what he has given Chicago because I think that I understand where it comes from.  He is sticking up for his longtime coach and his team.  The problem is that they don't pay his salary, but I digress...

I stated in my comment to noname that the reason that I want Urlacher gone is because he will cost too much money and he doesn't give much in return.  I stand by that.  He's the guy that has to read everything in the Bears outdated Cover 2 defense which means that he's the "spy" on the QB.  There was a time when he would run down Mike Vick.  Now guys like Colin Kaepernick and Russell Wilson run circles around him.  As noname said, he is a smart guy.  Maybe he can be the defensive coordinator under Lovie Smith when Lovie gets another job since apparently they have sex with each other.
