Great News!!! Urlacher OUT!

Brian Urlacher needs surgery for a dislocated right wrist and Pisa Tinoisamoa has a sprained PCL ligament. The White Shark might be out of season. They will not play against us.
I think Heath Miller will have a great game against them. Their linebacker corp is dismantled.
Lawrence Timmons will be back and I think he can handle Matt Forte and help Tyrone against Greg Olsen. Tyrone is my only fear. I think we should play Ryan Mundy, he did ok on his first game late against Tennessee.
Well, hope Urlacher gets better and be ready to play on a high level next year, he is one of my favorite.
Or anyone here wasnt kinda reliefed about the out of season injury of Tom Brady? We were sad that a great QB wouldnt play that year, but for our team was great, maybe our 6th ring wouldnt come. This is just an interpretation.
I think you didnt see the point, I will never be happy about a out of season kind of injury, but this will make Steelers life easier.
Any thoughts?
PS. If they dont keep holding Deebo(or the judges see the holdings), I think he can get a 2-sack game.

I’m a bit more worried about Ogunleye and Harris than if Urlacher were playing anyway. But the Bears offense looked fairly feeble and Harrison, Woodley and Keisel could all have very favorable matchups.
If I were to guess who might exploit the Bears defense, I’d say Holmes or Wallace. Nathan Vasher looked ssssslllllloooooowwwww.

bittersweet
Having just seen Polamalu go down (and we don’t yet know for how long), I can’t find joy in Urlacher being injured and possibly out for the season. Plus I’m more delighted whenever we win against a team despite their best players being on the field.
On the other hand, anything that weakens the Bears is good for the Steelers. Plus of all the places I’ve lived, I dislike the city of Chicago most of all.

I like to know
that the Steelers won/lost against the best the other team had to offer. Leaves no excuses for either side.

I’m bummed that Urlacher is out for the year. Great player and I enjoy watching him play. Bears D will be rudderless without him.
Looks like Chicago and Carolina are the two presumed contenders who are unraveling in a hurry.

Excellent
I say take all the time he needs…if it’s six weeks so be it. In no way am I saying he won’t be missed. I’m just thinking bigger picture. We can handle a couple losses (and we shouldn’t lose many, if any, in that stretch given the schedule difficulty).
As we know from XL, just get in the playoffs.

Great?
Don’t see how this news is ‘great’, except in the sense that it is news and Urlacher is great.
Also, he’s out for every game against the AFC North. so it’s a push at best.

Too bad we'll have to tell Mendy that Ray Lewis will be there too.
This is Pittsburgh Steeler Troy Polamalu getting knocked around by the Pacific Ocean in Hawaii yesterday...
Minutes later, Troy caught the ocean going over the middle and smacked it right in the mouth. The ocean fumbled, Troy recovered and ran it into the endzone. The ocean never messed with Troy again.

I think it's GREAT
That the Ravens let up 24 points to the Chiefs. All people are doing is kissing Flacco’s ‘A’ over what great stats he put up…again against the CHIEFS. The bigger story is the vaunted defense letting up all those points. Miss Rex Ryan much?
Week 12 can’t come soon enough.
by count'em_six on Sep 14, 2009 3:38 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Not to take the Ravens side but...
One of KC’s TD was off a blocked punt recovered in the end zone and another was set up by a 70 yd INT return all the way to the Ravens 6 yd line. The Chiefs had one good drive.
The Ravens gave up a total of 188 yards, so far the 3rd lowest of Week 1. Their defense played fine.
But I agree, Week 12 cannot come soon enough.

-1 to me
For not doing the minimal research required. Seems the stats tell a different tale than the score.
Either way…no need for you to get personal. “Great” win against a team you should beat…KC blows and Flacco is overrated. See you week 12.

Not great at all
Urlacher out takes away from the game. And well love to watch the best on the field, whenever possible. Winning against a full side, making a play on their best defensive player, this is the kind of thing that raises the confidence level. Imagine Tank leveling Urlacher, or the line stopping every blitz they put on us. Even the running game having a decent day against the Bears. That can inject some fuel on how these guys play.
Judging from what I saw yesterday, I’d say we’re in good shape, even with Polamalu out against that bears offense. Their D means trouble on the line, but hopefully we can pull it out.
btw, the OP is too influenced by brazilian media.. hehe :)

I too like the iron sharpens iron mentality. guess since we are without Troy
then it evens it out a little. My favorite Urlacher highlights are when the Bus rolled his ass over time and again during our #5 run. The one where Bettis knees him in the face and he misses the tackle still makes me laugh. That being said tho, it sucks for them that he’s out.

judging my last night Cutler's brain is out too
what a garbage performance. 4 picks? If the Steelers’ D can get him half as confused as he was last night we should be good.

Did you watch?
There was one point that had me laughing hysterically. I think it was before his 2nd int. He threw one awful pass that almost got picked (the GB guy just dropped it). The next play he threw at the SAME CB on the Packers and he dropped it again. It was like Cutler was thinking “Ok I am trying to give you guys the ball. He can’t catch, so I will try someone else.” Third play…interception.

yeah and it was real funny considering I am playing against the Green Bay D this week in FF!! Luckily I have Big Blue on D and they put together their own set of hilights against Campbell & Co.
4 Picks? It could have been 10! At least they weren’t all returned for 6 or I’d be doomed.

Man..
Imagine.. if the Packers can get 4 INT’s on Cutler what Troy P could do solo. He’ll probably still grab one from the bench somehow.

About Urlacher
I am really sad this great MLB is out of season, I am not happy about it. But it will help our team a lot, specially on this stage of the season, when our running game is ridiculous.
by SteelerBrazil on Sep 14, 2009 1:34 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
I'd rather he play.
First of all, he’s a great player and worth watching how he goes about his business on the field.
Secondly, with the amount of work our running game needs, we’re only going to get better by playing the best defenses, when they have all hands on deck.
Thirdly, they’re over in Chicago saying, “Great, Troy won’t be playing this weekend!” And we’re over here suffering for our guy.
I’d prefer to see them both (all three guys) playing so there’s no confusion as to who is the better team.

I am not going to ‘celebrate’ Urlacher’s injury.
Being out for 1 game is one thing, but being out the entire year? I will not celebrate that.

it’s been said enough here, but not a thing to celebrate when a good player goes down. be careful what brings you joy – it could come back as pain a thousand fold.
now maybe if it was ray lewis or frank ‘the spitter’ walker, i could say karma be damned…

Urlacher
Best memory ever is watching the Bus plow him over on the road to Detroit. Nothing against Urlacher, I think he’s hella-awesome, but that moment was gladiator-esque, if you know what I mean.

Epic ownage by the bus on that play.
I just loved how like for a second, Bettis doesnt move, its like two people pushing and not moving at all. And then somehow Bus gets one more push and just plows him.
In the snow too… damn good highlight play.

I think
Woodley/Harrison/Timmons will have big time success in the blitz. I watched the first half of the Packers, Bears game last night and Cutler just looked flat out awful. Couple that with an average offensive line, there should be no reason we don’t get at least 3 sacks. Have to focus on Hester and Forte, and not lose sight of Greg Olsen.

It is never good news when a player is injured.
It is great news, however, when a player who appears to be injured is actually okay.

Sad
Whether you like him or not, I think it is sad that anyone would be happy that a player regardless of who his is, has a season ending injury. There might be a couple that I wouldn’t mind seeing knocked a little woosy but out for the year, I think not. Not to mention someone who leaves it all out on the field. He’ll be missed this year.

I can't agree
I hate to see anyone out for a year. You should rename your post to: “Now Heath should have a monster game” or something.
I can’t cheer for the injury to someone who is, from all accounts, a good guy and a great player.
