Chicago Bears linebacker Urlacher sacks Green Bay Packers quarterback Rodgers during the first quarter of the NFL NFC Championship football game in Chicago Reuters

Last month, Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher raised eyebrows with his contention that the Bears, not the Packers, are the best team in the conference. During a surprise appearance Thursday on ESPN 1000′s Waddle & Silvy, Urlacher was given a chance to say that he was merely “playing to the crowd a little bit” when he said what he said.

And Urlacher opted not to say that.

“I think we are better,” Urlacher said.

Oops.

“You know, every game we played with them last year came down to the wire,” Urlacher added. “You know, a few plays here and there and it goes our way, but they made those plays. Last year they made those plays and hopefully this year we’ll make those plays. That’s just the way most games are in the NFL and whoever makes those key plays is going to win the game so we didn’t make them. Last year they did, but I think talent-wise and athletically and coaching-wise we stack up well with everyone in our conference.”

So there you have it, Packers fans. Your team may be getting the rings, but Urlacher thinks that the best team didn’t win the Super Bowl, because in his view the best team didn’t win the qualification game.

So... it looks like the Packers even as champions get no respect. First Rex Ryan and now Brian Urlacher.

My comment you quoted was implying the Packers can try to play the "no respect" card for motivation. Although, from Mike McCarthy's "we're no ones underdogs" comment, he wouldn't do that.

And agreed. I only care about the Championships.

This article, and especially the last paragraph, smacks of desperation on the part of Mike Florio to try and provoke his readers. In truth, the statements by Urlacher are just typical dumb-jock statements. The lockout needs to end so we can have some real news to talk about.

It was a non issue when it was first reported. Still is. I expect every player to stand behind his team even if the stats don't back him up. As is the case here.

Martha Careful (10-May) : 1. this is true of all our linemen. 2. His run block is fine. 3. If all OL played like he has, we would win SB.

beast (9-May) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : For now...

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers go about evaluating their "best five," OL coach Luke Butkus makes on thing clear: "Josh Myers is our center."

dfosterf (2-May) : The number on Love is going to be brutal.

Zero2Cool (2-May) : May 3rd. Extension day for Jordan Love. (soonest)

Zero2Cool (1-May) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!

earthquake (1-May) : Packers draft starters at safety ever few years. Collins, Clinton-Dix, Savage

beast (1-May) : Why can't the rookies be a day 1 starter? Especially when we grabbed 3 of them at the position

dfosterf (1-May) : Not going to be shocked if Gilmore goes to the Lions.

dfosterf (1-May) : I hear you dhazer, but my guess would be Gilmore Colts and Howard Vikings from what little has been reported.

Mucky Tundra (30-Apr) : S learn from McKinney who learns from Hafley who learns from the fans. Guaranteed Super Bowl

Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : could*

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Safeties should learn from Xavier.

dhazer (29-Apr) : And what about grabbing a Gilmore or Howard at CB ? Those are all Free Agents left

dhazer (29-Apr) : out of curiosity do they try and sign Simmons or Hyde to let these young safeties learn from, they can't be day 1 starters.

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : I miss having Sam Shields.
