Now we know why Lions wide receiver Roy Williams predicted his team would hang 40 points on the Bears in Week 2 last season. He just doesn't think they are very good. ''Everybody fears the Bears for some odd reason,'' Williams said last week on WDFN-AM in Detroit after the Lions' 2-0 start. ''Everybody talks about ... how good their defense is. I respect them, but I just don't see what's so good about the Bears.'' No one can accuse Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher of firing the first barb this time. ''Last year, let me see,'' he responded playfully when asked how close the Lions came to those 40 points. ''The first game they had six, which was pretty close to 40. If you add the seven [against the Bears] to that, it's 13. I'm sure by Game 5 or 6 they had it.'' When asked if he ever had talked to Williams on the field, Urlacher said he could not recall. ''I know I've had a chance to tackle him a couple of times,'' he said. ''But I don't know, to tell you the truth. So much crap gets said during the course of a game and during a week that I don't remember half the crap that gets said. Probably three-quarters of it I don't remember.''
