Urlacher on the playoffs

Brian Urlacher openly stated that he was pulling for the Eagles to knock us out yesterday:

quote:
"I was pulling for Philly, wanted to see Green Bay knocked out," Urlacher said Sunday on WFLD-TV.


And Urlacher was quick to point out it wasn't because the Bears are worried about possibly facing the Packers in the NFC Championship Game. The Bears and Packers split the season series.


"No, they don't worry us, we beat them," Urlacher said. "We beat them at [Soldier Field]. They're playing well right now, but so are we. Nobody worries us. The only team that can beat us is ourselves."


It's official: the Bears don't want to see us again in the NFC Championship. I would love nothing more than the opportunity to beat them on that stage.

After last weeks game, Urlacher said it wasn't even a Playoff atmosphere at Lambeau and they played everything vanilla. They are frickin awesome and if you do not believe it, just ask them.

BTW, love how he talks in Morse Code on live interviews.
Talk ... stop ... talk ... stop. No sentences, no flow, just phrases. Did he even attend classes in college?
Hey, not every team can field a team of Mensa memebers like the Pack Wink. Besides, I think Urlacher's interviews are actually pretty articulate...at least in comparison to the hybrid of Ebonics, Ghetto-speak and Twitter slang most players use.

Regardless of what Urlacher was doing, my Father and I were rooting heavily for the Pack yesterday. Bears/Packers in the Championship game would be incredible. I sure hope it happens.

I apologize to you, sir.

Lets see....Mossy Cade....Chamura......Brett Favre...... Roll Eyes

All credibility of GB fans ragging on the personal habits of players from other teams should end right there. In other words the rocks/glass houses type deal.


Eye heart this rivalry.

Packers / Bears / NFC Championship Game

It would be amazing.

Much work to do for both teams before we get to that point though.

I don't think there's any doubt, Lovie did not want Green Bay in the tournament & it's no surprise to hear Urlacher say he was rooting for Philly.

ya know, after sleeping on this I have to believe Urlacher is afraid of the Packers. what LB in his right mind wants to deal with Vick? he presents a LB's worst nightmare with his feet. Urlacher is definitely scared. good for him. hope they're still around in a week...
He is full of it. If you get showtime and watched Inside the NFL last week they had pre-game on field stuff with Bears/Packers players. One Bear guy was doing the stretching while talking to the camera bit saying how they wanted the Packers out. Then Driver was BSing with a Bears DB and was like "come on just let us in" and the Bear guy was like "no way we want you guys out".

Here's a question for Urlacher - if they really just had a plain game plan in that game then why did they leave their starters in the whole game? Especially Cutler who was getting beaten like a rag doll?

The one thing I will say about that game is the final drive the Bears, while it seemed they did want to score, sure took a long time and really weren't in any hurry. There was a play that they ran and got tackled on with about 2:30 left. They didnt' even try to get another play off before the 2 minute warning and they were still in their own territory at the time, it wasn't like they were inside GB's 25 yard line. The play before the INT they were still way back on the 32 yard line with only 20 seconds left.
That's all well and good, but you still have to score at some point. They were still 32 yards away with only 20 seconds left.

They ran a play at 2:30 to get 2nd and 4. The first down was only on their own 37 yard line. They didn't run a play before the 2 minute warning, they easily could have. They were taking a ton of time in between plays where the clock was running.

Maybe they didn't want to give the ball back to GB?

While they wanted to keep GB out of the playoffs - and I believe they did irregardless of Urlacher's comments - they didn't HAVE to win the game.
I was pleased with the Bears' approach that last drive (until the interception, obviously). They didn't want to leave Rodgers any time in a tie game (or a one-point game had they successfully gone for two). The replay of the Atlanta/GB game last night showed just how easy it is to get in field goal range in under a minute.

Had Cutler not sailed that pass to Hester, the completion would've given the Bears first down on the 10 yard line. They would've taken their last TO and then had enough time for 3-4 plays to the end zone.

All the while I was watching the bears final drive one thought remained constant with me.

The bears had the perfect opportunity to work on a 2 minute offense against a stellar defense who needed badly to stop them.

You can't get quality practice like that anywhere. I hope the Packers do not end up in a position against the bears in two weeks, where they have to stop them on the last possesion of the game.

Excellent point!!!!
Lovie didn't want Green Bay in the playoffs. The Packers know the Bears too well & vice versa. Green Bay has the confidence. The Bears aren't quite sure of themselves yet.

The last drive. I knew exactly what they were doing. Try and score with no time on the clock and go for 2. No matter what Lovie tries to say 2 days after the game (they were going to kick the xtra point and tie it).

The players all said it (Inside the NFL) and GBP Rules posted the same.

"No way. We want you out." That should be posted everywhere this week.

Now, go beat the 19-2 (at home) Atlanta Falcons and give the Bears something to think about. Remind them how they couldn't get the job done.
The Bears have absolutely every reason to fear Green Bay

Homefield advantage means nothing in this series. If you look back over the last 10 years there have been plenty of times GB has beaten Chicago in Chicago. Plus, GB hasn't come close to playing their best game against the Bears this year, and Chicago is the favorite. In other words, the pressure is all on the Bears if it comes down to that.

Atlanta knows this as well. They lucked out beating GB the first time around. GB could have very easily have beaten them, and you know damn well the Packers are going to come better prepared this time around.

Then again, watch Chicago get beat this week and we end up going to Seattle for all the NFC marbles.
