Bears should look at Matt Wilhelm, Bo Ruud, or Buster Davis to help out. I think all three are free agents and do have some NFL experience……Go Bears!!!!

Brooks, sure, Zack Thomas…no thanks. Yeah this season is far from over, it will be interesting to see how this week (or even the next few hours) shakes out.

Scott: It sounds like that’s what the plan is. Briggs goes to the Mike and Brooks moves into the Will spot. I want to say they’ve tried Briggs in the middle a few times and it didn’t go so well, but I can’t remember for sure. Getting Tinoisamoa back will be key, he seems to have the sideline to sideline and closing speed that Urlacher used to have. I really hope this shakes out, another option would be Zack Thomas but it’s always dicey bringing in the older guys. You never know how much gas is left in the tank.

Yes, but Brooks played Weakside Linebacker for Tampa….I’m thinking maybe Briggs should move to MLB and Brooks plays weakside then. Roach and Jamar Williams can play strongside until Pisa T gets back (Hes out for 3-6 weeks I believe).

Sounds like the Bears may have contacted Derrick Brooks. That would be…… interesting.

The receivers and Cutler will get their chemistry down – not too worried about that.

Certainly the receivers made a few mistakes with their routes, but Cutler made some lousy decisions also. Even if one or two of the interceptions were avoided by better plays by receivers, there were easily one or two dropped interceptions where Cutler threw into coverage.

These are correctable on both Cutler’s side and the receivers’ side. We’ll see if they are corrected.

Hopefully Urlacher will be able to make it back late in the season – if not, at least the Bears have depth at the position and Pisa should be able to return in a few weeks.

It is now up to Hunter Hillenmeyer.
God help us.

In addition to the Trib, ESPN and a couple other outlets are now reporting that Urlacher’s season is over.

Knox cut the other way because Cutler come back that way–it was what Knox should have done and Cutler threw a very bad pass. No excuses for this game–Cutler flat out sucked, guys. That said, I know he’s a great QB and we’ll hear a lot less bitchin’ as the season unfolds and he racks up the good numbers and (hopefully) wins.

Oh crap — just reported Urlacher out for the year.
