That was a good play no doubt but he has been pretty terrible all season.

He's looked average, which is terrible for Urlacher. He hasn't looked "terrible." Getting a little better each game.

Everyone seems to be using Pro Football Focus these days and Urlacher is the 33rd ranked ILB/ILB out of 38 who have played at least 50% of their team's defensive snaps. He is also among the worst run stopping ILB/MLB with a -8.2 rating. They wrote this the other day:

The Bears have relied on the play of Brian Urlacher from the moment he was drafted. He has been Chicago’s Ray Lewis, and the team has missed him any time he has been forced out of the line up through injury. This time he remains on the field, but injuries have clearly taken a hammer to his play, because he has been a shell of the player we are used to seeing. While you’ll no doubt hear Jon Gruden tell you about how good he has at some point during the game, he has three games this season graded at -2.9 or worse, and no game above +0.5, compared to eight games a year ago at +1.0 or above and none as bad as -2.9.

Urlacher’s skills were always heavily predicated on his speed, range and ability to move around, both from sideline to sideline and in coverage. His knee injury is getting him to spots a half step late and his mind hasn’t yet caught up to what his knee won’t let him do anymore. The Lions are going to work the middle of the field with several players, regardless of what happens with their ornamental running game, and Urlacher will be tested. If he responds with the kind of performances we have seen so far from him in 2012, that gives an edge to the Lions’ offense against a Bears defense without too many areas of weakness.

Even tonight, on all Leshoure's big gains up the middle he has just been thrown around.

He does have 5 solo tackles tonight. His only one in the run game was for a 5 yard gain by Leshoure, 3 others were on receptions he gave up that resulted in 1st downs, and the one nice play he made on the screen pass for a loss of 1.

 
Darn. I had 0.1 point lead when Stafford got face turf. Was sure that the Bears would close out the clock. My 0.1 point lead is gone with a Leshoure catch and Pettigrew catch. I need a big reception from Calvin Johnson to retake the lead. DOwn by 3 points. Need 20 + yarder.

I can't blame forte really. My team played well but my week link was Dawson{K}. The browns even did a 2pt conversion attempt in the first half lol. My kicker got 1pt.

Now take ownership over this loss because you had more choices on the waiver wire, this will make you a better GM moving forward ;)
 
Holding a 0.2 lead in one league...which will disapear if Detroit gets a garbage time score
