Urlacher: Bears can make perennial playoff runs

By Fred Mitchell

Could this be Brian Urlacher's last realistic chance to win a Super Bowl ring?

"No, not at all," the Bears' veteran linebacker said Thursday at Halas Hall. "I think if we get a couple of guys back, we're still set up for a while, if you look at our team depth-wise.

"We get Olin (Kreutz) back and a couple of other guys. We have Jay (Cutler) and Pep (Julius Peppers) signed up for a while. I think we will be set up to be good if we go out there and prove it for a while. Doing it is another thing, but talent-wise we're going to be good for a while."
Urlacher, 32, has been to the Super Bow doorstep, losing to the Colts four years ago. Sunday's playoff game against Seattle represents the first obstacle to returning to the NFC Championship Game and the Super Bowl in Dallas.

"I want to get to the playoffs every year, I don't think this year is any different," said Urlacher, an 11-year veteran. "Knowing how talented we are just coming into the season, there is no reason we shouldn't be in the playoffs. We knew we were going to be good, just go out there and prove it to everybody. It's fun to be in the playoffs. Watching the games last weekend was fun because you know we are going to play this weekend ... just a different feel."
