In 2006....after the BYE ~ they absolutely BLEW. And the ONLY thing that held them together, again, was the Defense, and a fairly good offense.
And, let's face it.......although the Arizona game was awesome, it was also a ONE MAN SHOW (and ALL after Halftime)....and that "one man" ~ AGAIN, was on which side of the ball?????

Come on all......can anyone guess?????

BRIAN URLACHER......DEFENSE.


If not for UrlZILLA (and Devin Hester) that evening......that game would have went straight into the toilet.

So, please.....stop pointing out the Arizona game as your pinnacle of some type of launching pad for your argument.

Yes.....they won. And it was an awesome win. But is was ALL Brian Urlacher, and an AMAZING Show INDEED.

But, non the less "LUCKY".


Bears do-it-all defense keys epic comeback vs. Cards

GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) -- Six turnovers, 3 points on offense, and somehow the Chicago Bears are still unbeaten.

Somehow, some way, the Bears rallied from 20 points down at halftime and escaped with a 24-23 victory in Arizona on Monday night, leaving the shellshocked Cardinals to ponder yet another excruciating late-game collapse."Sometimes, when you're a team of destiny, things like that happen," Chicago coach Lovie Smith said.The Bears are off to their best start in 20 years at 6-0. For that, they can thank their defense, punt returner Devin Hester and Arizona kicker Neil Rackers.Rex Grossman gets no credit for this one."I've never played so bad and won a game like that," said the Bears quarterback, who threw four interceptions and lost two fumbles. "It was unbelievable."Down 20-0 at halftime, Chicago returned two fumbles for touchdowns in the second half. Then Hester returned a punt 83 yards for a score with 2:58 remaining to take the lead.

After Grossman threw his fourth interception, the Cardinals were trying to use up time. But Brian Urlacher stripped the ball from James and Charles Tillman scooped it up for a 40-yard return to cut Arizona's lead to 23-17 with five minutes left.Urlacher finished with 11 tackles, seeming to find his way to the ball on nearly every play as the Cardinals were making their final drives.

On their next possession, the Cardinals were forced to punt. Hester caught the ball, broke a few arm tackles and weaved around hapless defenders as he sprinted upfield, scoring his second punt return for a touchdown this season and giving Chicago the lead for the first time all night.

In addition to his four picks, Grossman fumbled the ball away twice and struggled to hit receivers when he did manage to get the ball cleanly away, going 14-for-37 for 148 yards. With their offense suddenly punchless, the Bears' defense provided the points.

Brian Urlacher refused to lose. Overcoming the horrific effort of Chicago QB Rex Grossman, a 20-point second-half deficit and an excellent performance by Arizona rookie quarterback Matt Leinart, Chicago's defense absolutely took over in the fourth quarter.
