As someone that used to live in Chicago, I know that Bears fans LOVE Brian Urlacher but after this they may not like him as much. I get where Urlacher is coming from, if the Bears are your team – you stand behind them no matter what…ride or die. There is no bandwagon sh*t going on. BUT at the same time, c’mon fam! Urlacher can’t say he doesn’t care about fans! Without us, football would be nothing!
Check out what he had to say & let us know what you think…
According to ESPN:
Brian Urlacher said the booing of the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field is “unbelievable,” and he defended coach Lovie Smith against critics who believe that the team needs a new head coach.
Urlacher, nursing a hamstring injury, didn’t play Sunday as the Bears suffered their fifth loss in their past six games. The Green Bay Packers clinched the NFC North with a 21-13 victory, while the Bears are in danger of missing the playoffs for the fifth time in the past six seasons.
“Our crowd was pretty good today for the most part,” Urlacher said Sunday during his weekly segment on Fox Chicago. “They were loud for a minute there. The boos were really loud, which is always nice. The only team in our division to get booed at home is us. It’s unbelievable to me.”
“It’s not going to change,” he said. “If we talk about it, then the media says, ‘You’re blaming the fans for losing. You’re doing this. You’re blaming the refs for losing.’ We lost that football game. Every football game we play in, we lose, it’s nobody’s fault but ours, but we’re allowed to say what we want.”
Urlacher went on to address that many fans and media are calling for a coaching change.
“Two of the people I don’t care about, fans or the media,” Urlacher said. “They can say what they want to about our head coach, about our players. It does bother me because those people don’t know what they’re talking about, obviously.
“I know there are a bunch of experts in the media, and there are a bunch of smart guys out there who know exactly what they’re talking about all the time. But they don’t know what they’re talking about.”
