What kind of chance do the Bears have this year with Brian Urlacher out?  

I think the Bears are still a good team,of course they are much better with Urlacher but I think with the addition of jay Cuttler it has made a huge improvement.
The D is still good and as long as players step up I think they should be able to at least make the playoffs.

I think that if the rest of the defensive takes a step up Chicago will do OK. It takes more than one man to make a defense, but someone is going to have to step up and take a leadership role or things will fall apart. Jay Cutler seems to be doing OK if he doesn't get injured. Go Bears.
