Brian Urlacher needed four tackles yesterday to make history, and he came up with five. Urlacher surpassed Mike Singletary as the all-time leading tackler for the Chicago Bears during last night's victory in Miami.
It’s official. The Bears confirmed to CSNChicago.com Friday that linebacker Brian Urlacher has passed Mike Singletary as the all-time leader in tackles with his performance in the 16-0 win over the Miami Dolphins. Urlacher needed 4 tackles to pass Samurai and was credited with 5 on the post-game stats sheet, with a few more usually turning up after coaches’ review of game tape.
A few months ago, there were plenty of people who were doubting Urlacher's ability, considering last year he ended up on the IR in the first game of the year... after all, he's no spring chicken anymore. But Urlacher has proven all of his doubters wrong this season, playing with the intensity, speed, and fury that we all knew he still had.
On this day, we salute you, Mr. Urlacher.

anyone who would have thought urlacher was done
doesnt know how much he loves to play this game. he is playing like he did in 06. having a year off really helped him. hope we get the same results.
Bill Swerski: Alright, alright! Now, let me shift gears here for a moment. What is God's role in this? Obviously, he's rooting for Da Bears.
I hope they win the super bowl.
just saying.
If I did what I love for a living, what would I do in my free time?

Much more likely now than a year ago

Super Bowl defense...and he's the leader...
On a completely different note, I would like to take this oppurtunity to apologize to Allie for some remarks I made…I will not elaborate on which ones…I was quite unaware of the gravity of the situation, and had someone pointed out my marked imbecility, I would have apologized immediately…once again, I am extremely sorry…damn I feel horrible

Super Urlacher....
Super Bowl!
Here, here to his comeback revival tour.
"He's a great candidate," Ryan said. "If I hadn't made him drop in coverage so often on running backs, he might be the all-time sack leader. They call it zone blitzing nowadays. We called it, 'Richard, pick him up.'" - Buddy Ryan on Richard Dent's HOF chances.
My favorite player and reason Da Bears became my favorite team.
Congrats Url. Bring the Lombardi Trophy home baby!
WILDCARD BITCHES!!! YEEEEHHHAAAAA!!!!!
Comeback Player of the Year
Some say Vick will win this honor, but I believe that coming back from doing time in the graybar hotel disqualifies him since I don’t think the league had that in mind when they created the award. I think Urlacher is certainly deserving of at least serious consideration for Comeback Player of the Year.

No way they give that award to a dog killer.
He’s served his debt, I don’t care if he was involved with dogs that were… well, bred to fight … but you can’t celebrate guys for coming out of prison. You’re not supposed to go to prison. He didn’t go into prison for his political beliefs …
definitely agree with you
that’s why i don’t think Vick should even be considered for PoY.
"I am a sinner who does not expect forgiveness. But I am not a government official." - Francis Wolcott
he also went from being a meh qb
to a real dual threat qb.
hate all you want, the level of play increase from what he was before his ‘hiatus’ to now is just phenomenal.
it’s not only ‘he just wins’, but he destroys.
Five foot three seems to thrive on his misery...

i'm tired of this argument
Vick had NOTHING in ATL. He had NO talent around him and made them a playoff team.
And now that he has arguabley the MOST talented YOUNG offense in the NFL around him he’s finally playing like he should have been.
Anyone could play the way Vick is playing if you give them enough weapons.
13. It's a magic number
Vick doesn't deserve the honor of playing in the NFL. Not for what he did.
I wouldn’t keep my job if I’d done the same and I’m just a public employee. But HE’S GOT GREAT TALENT!!! So what, he’s a thug, and a convicted criminal. No place in this league for any convicts. Bad deal all around.
If you can't laugh at yourself you must not be very funny.
I remain a pessimistically hopeful Bears fan.

THANK YOU
I was not defending vick whatsoever.
I hope it didn’t come off that way.
In fact i believe vick is mediocre, he is just benefiting from having SOOOOO much young talent around him.
He should be painting curbs somewhere not playing in the nfl
13. It's a magic number
i hope he gets comeback player of the year
i know vick is killing it but i am seeing this award through bear-colored eyes
54 and 90 are the main 2 reasons why the defense is winning us games
ok lance too :) and obviously everyone else.
if Vick takes the PoY award it will be a travesty

and he did it
missing a whole year…
I hate the rain. Rain falls in this world, too. When your heart is in chaos, the sky becomes clouded. When you are sad, rain falls so terribly easily. Can you understand, the horror of being pelted by rain in this solitary world? If only to stop that rain, I shall lend you any strength. If you trust in me, I will let no rain fall in this world, trust me. You are not fighting alone.

Congrats Urlacher!!!
You’ve done yourself proud, at the proudest position in sports… The Chicago Bears Middle Linebacker
awesome middle linebacker
i am glad to be alive and to have seen both of these bear players actually play.its like being alive and to see the greatest running back ever to take the field ( walter payton ).i have watched film of both butkus and sayers, but its not the same as actually watching them play, live and in the flesh. its a privaledge to actually say i was there and seen them perform in their prime. sort of like going to an muhammed ali fight.
tackles record
Congrats to #54, all the great defensive players we’ve had and to pass HOF on the list, simply awesome. I think we’re seeing how much the D missed him last year.
Brian Urlacher!!!
I have never downed the guy when almost everyone called him overrated and injury prone. He has to win a Superbowl in order for him to be a first ballet HOF. Peppers, Jay, Olin, and Briggs will eventually join him when their times come.
He's been a tackling machine, again this year
And you see how much better we are against the run, almost shutting down Adrian Peterson last weekend. He’s probably the biggest reason why our defense is # 1 in the league, this year.
Comeback player of the year will come down to Urlacher and Vick.
