Enough Optimism, God Hates The Bears
Well I tried to be optimistic in my roundup of the Bears game this morning, but with news that Urlacher will likely miss the rest of the season rolling in, it’s hard not to think that God has it in for the Bears:
Brian Urlacher appears to be out for the season after dislocating his right wrist, the linebacker said Monday. The team has not given the official word, but Lovie Smith is expected to address the issue during his afternoon press conference.
Urlacher injured his wrist in the first quarter of Sunday’s 21-15 loss to the Packers. He was ruled out after halftime.
When asked about his status Monday, Urlacher said in a text message that his “season is over.”
He was scheduled to undergo surgery Monday morning upon the team’s arrival back in Chicago from Green Bay. A dislocated bone had to be surgerically put back in. The surgery might have revealed more extensive damage.
This development, coupled with Cutler’s 4 interceptions and Orton’s miracle interception-turned-game-winning-touchdown, make it hard not to think the football gods are against the Bears. Let’s just pray the Bears official press conference this afternoon brings some good news about Urlacher’s wrist.
***UPDATE: He had the surgery and he will miss the rest of the season. Goodbye slim chance of good news this afternoon.

Losing Brian Urlacher is huge, simply because he is so essential for the defense. I have watched him over the years, and he never lets up. I have never seen him dog it, and I have never seen him play at half speed. Now, I don’t get to see every game, but when I do see the Bears, I see him focused and intense, and he sets a terrific example. He’s too young to retire, and too good to miss a whole season. Depressing.
