I don't agree with most of that, but I do agree with the Urlacher comment. This is not 2005 Brian Urlacher the Bears are losing. It sucks because he is the "QB on defense". However, He has lost a step or two. Watching him last night showed me that and watching him in the Pre Season game against the Giants watching him trying to tackle Jacobs showed me that as well. He's not the best LB on his own team, losing Briggs would be a bigger loss. Don't get me wrong, its a bad loss, but he can be replaced. A lot of Bears fans were expecting big things from Urlacher based on the things that were said in the preseason about his dedication and the lack of pain he was feeling. How much of that was fluff, I don't. It's not unheard of to see performance dip during a career and then rise back to a similar level, though it's definitely not normal. Ray Lewis is probably the benchmark for that. I think a lot of people expected a good year from him, and watching his first half didn't do anything to lower those expectations. That's part of the reason why this sucks so much. Oh trust me I understand it sucks.
