There is a lot of hype surrounding Jay Cutler and Brandon Marshall, and what they can do for the Chicago Bears offense. While it is true that the two work well together, some may be overlooking the bigger problem with the offense; it is shamefully incomplete. Now it looks like the Bears are still focusing on the defense, all but ignoring the need to protect Cutler on the field.  

The Chicago Bears have made a lot of impressive moves during the off-season. They fired Jerry Angelo and replaced him with Phil Emery. Most of the comments I received on my articles about the Bears pertained to the dismissal of Angelo. Now that his departure is a reality, I'm sure a lot of fans are ecstatic for that reason alone. The Bears also acquired three-time Pro Bowl receiver Brandon Marshall from the Miami Dolphins. Not only does this...  

The Miami Dolphins have had an up and down offseason and one of the moves that they made which is still subject to debate is the trading of Brandon Marshall to the Chicago Bears. By doing so they leave themselves with little to no big name recognition in the wide receiver core, but being a huge fan of the Dolphins I think 2012 will prove that the Miami Dolphins have big talent at the receiver position and that some of them will break out and...  

Over the years, to say the Chicago Bears have been a lackluster offensive franchise would be like saying Mt. Everest is "pretty big." The reality is that the Bears have a history of being atrocious on offense --usually sparked by a dreadful quarterback. Here is a look at the quarterbacks since 1999 prior to Jay Cutler: Shane Matthews, Cade McNown, Jim Miller, Kordell Stewart, Chris Chandler, Rex Grossman, Craig Krenzel, Chad Hutchinson, and...  

There is a lot more to this story than Ali Villanueva being 6'10", but man, can you imagine if you had a coherent tight end with that height? The key word in that statement is "coherent." Morris Stroud enjoyed the same height with the Kansas City Chiefs for five seasons (54 receptions, 977 yards, seven touchdowns), but his numbers are nothing close to legendary. Villanueva would have almost a foot on most cornerbacks, and would enjoy over half...  

Rest assured, I do not believe I, or anyone, can give an adequate answer to the question the title of this article asks. What the question is meant to bring to light is the fact that our beloved Chicago teams have had a pretty rough year on the injury front. We aren't talking about bench warmers going down either. ...  

It’s come to this in Chicago — hearing someone employed by the Bears state the obvious about the team’s offensive line feels like a small victory for those who are desperate for a shred of evidence that there is someone involved with the club who's as concerned about its front five as the situation calls for.  

Over the last few years, countless people --fans, players, commentators, analysts-- have expressed displeasure over the Chicago Bears' offensive line. Most of those "countless people" are like me --fans that watch the sport, love the sport, learn about the sport, and, by design, only think we understand the intricate workings of the sport. I will readily admit to not being the most insightful individual you will come across when it comes to...  

Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler made an appearance at Perspectives Charter High School on the south side of Chicago this week. Cutler was there to show his support to students who were receiving diabetes screenings. He was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes four years ago.

New Chicago Bears wide receiver Brandon Marshall has been cleared of any wrongdoing in a recent altercation outside of a New York night club. Now that he has no worries about facing any charges, he can focus completely on football. Was the hype surrounding the incident overblown?  

It never ceases to amaze me how fans can feel personally insulted solely on how someone ranks the fan's team (or team's players). Somehow, many feel like it's a personal attack when their teams/players are ranked lower than they might feel is warranted. This stretches to Top Ten lists, weekly power rankings, and, in this case, NFL Network's Top 100 Players list. Despite the endless eye-rolling, groan inducing rage many feel when reading these...  

Maybe I just wasn't paying enough attention the last few seasons, but I was entirely unaware that, under Mike Martz, Jay Cutler was not allowed to call audibles at the line of scrimmage. Let me tell you, knowing that explains a lot from the last few seasons in terms of offensive play calling. It also brings Mike Martz down a notch in my "Good Coaches" book. Why you would not allow your quarterback that leisure is beyond my comprehension...  

You never know what you're going to get from the players you sign, but there is enough negativity surrounding Kellen Winslow since the Tampa Bay Buccaneers announced they would be looking to trade him that I don't think I want to see him in a Chicago Bears uniform. Supposedly, back in March, the Bears expressed some degree of interest in the 28-year old tight end. We don't really now how much interest, but there was at least some talk about it.
