Yep. Urlacher played the best in 2010 that he has for several
seasons but I think any more than about 1 more year like that
has to be considered borrowed time at this point in his career.
I know we need to get #54's replacement in the pipeline but I
would really rather pass on that this year and focus on our more
pressing needs in the trenches... then maybe come back in the
2012 draft and spend our 2nd rounder on a MLB or even our 1st if
there's a true stud out there to be had.

I agree that w need to start thinking about Urlacher's
replacement. He's got some miles on those bones..

Bears to open vs. Falcons, visit Packers on Christmas
Brad Biggs/Tribune reporter
4:57 p.m. CDT, April 19, 2011
In a year in which the Chicago Bears are scheduled to travel to
London for their first-ever regular season game in Europe, the
team has four consecutive games vs. AFC West opponents and
closes with division rivals Green Bay and Minnesota.
The NFL will release the 2011 schedule at 6 p.m. but an advanced
look at the schedule provided to the Tribune shows they open the
season at Soldier Field Sept. 11 against the Atlanta Falcons in
a matchup of division champions from last season. It marks only
the fourth time in 12 years the Bears will open at home.
They will then travel to New Orleans in Week 2 and return home
to host the Super Bowl champion Green Bay Packers in Week 3.
Former Bears linebacker and defensive coordinator Ron Rivera
will bring in his Carolina Panthers for a visit in Week 4.
The Bears then play at Detroit on Monday, Oct. 10 on ESPN’s
“Monday Night Football,” the first prime time appearance for the
Lions since Week 3 of the 2001 season. That game is followed by
another prime time appearance for the Bears as they will host
Minnesota on Oct. 16 in NBC’s national broadcast. That gives the
team a home game before the Oct. 23 game vs. the Tampa Bay
Buccaneers at London’s Wembley Stadium.
Following the trip to England, the Bears are off on the weekend
of Oct. 30. The Bears play the Eagles on “Monday Night Football”
on Nov. 7. Then, they host the Lions Nov. 13 before a string of
four straight games vs. the AFC – vs. San Diego, at Oakland, vs.
Kansas City and at Denver in Week 14 in quarterback Jay Cutler’s
first regular season game there since the trade.
The Bears host Seattle in Week 15 and close out at Green Bay on
NBC in prime time on Dec. 25 and at Minnesota Jan. 1.
The NFL’s current labor dispute leaves football hanging in the
balance. The league announced if an agreement is not reached by
Aug. 1 the game in London will be moved to Tampa and the Bucs’
Raymond James Stadium.
Week 1 ATLANTA
Week 2 at New Orleans
Week 3 GREEN BAY
Week 4 CAROLINA
Week 5 at Detroit
Week 6 MINNESOTA
Week 7 vs. Tampa Bay at London
Week 8 OFF
Week 9 at Philadelphia
Week 10 Detroit
Week 11 SAN DIEGO
Week 12 at Oakland
Week 13 KANSAS CITY
Week 14 at Denver
Week 15 SEATTLE
Week 16 at Green Bay
Week 17 at Minnesota

Love that schedule. If the TV stations follow the usual pattern
I should be able to see 14 of 16 games. If so, bye, bye Sunday
Ticket this season.

The Bears will be visiting Wisconsin on another significant date
on the calendar.
The official schedule has been released, and it consists on Week
16 of the Packers hosting the Bears on Christmas Night.
The 8:20 p.m. ET game will be the only contest played on Sunday,
December 25.
<i>This sucks for the Bears. Playing in December in GB at night
is especially bad for a traveling team. Leaving home on
Christmas Day is just an added problem. Why do scheduler's do
this?</i>

That schedule is too light on road games in the Southeast.

Looks tough. Agree that the first 3 weeks are no walk in the
park..
