Can you even imagine what it feels like pre-snap knowing that you have too many rushers, not enough blockers, too little time or a defense that is set up right in your way and you can’t do a damn thing but snap the ball and get licked!!! Cutlet ocassionally called out of the bad plays but with no setup audible lingo he would have to just call out a slight change to an already bad play and it rarely helped!! It’s a wonder he didn’t pull the offense together for private meeting to set up an audible language of their own.. I was excited about Martz coming to Chicago at first but in his first 4 games I became obvious that he needed to change his ways, a lot!!!! Bears can win two rings in the next four years!!!

Subtle dig of the day goes to the gentleman who mentioned the year after Martz left Detroit. The stark reality is that Martz leaving more often means a minor offensive bump rather than drastic. That said Bears have some weapons. I will be interested to see how this all shakes down.

rabidbillsfan, I’m with you, I’ve liked Cutler from the start in Denver, though I didn’t really watch him ’til he came to the Bears…I am psyched to see the type of numbers this offense will put up this year.

Hopefully the Bears will have a similar season to what the Lions had the year after Martz left Detroit.

It is amazing how stubborn some people get when they get a taste of success. The stupidity of Martz’s schemes (7 step drops and not keeping blockers in the backfield) were completely obvious to almost everyone who was watching. Not to mention he routinely made bad calls in terms of time and field position …. like calling deep drops when we are in a goal to go scenario with Caleb Hanie as QB.

Martz was insane to call 7-step drops in an empty backfield with that offensive line. Very painful to watch.

I hate to say it, but the Bears really scare me this year.

Martz refused to adapt his 15 year old style to the talent the Bears had available, and the realities of the changed NFL defenses, and it cost them and Cutler badly. The Bears are going to be a major force this year.

Now Cutler can get the ball out quick an he has Big WRs to throw it to.. He can also audible at the line, Now Chicago will get the best from Cutler, an the first class running game he has behind him dont hurt none, if Cutler can get good protection from the offensive line the Super Bowl is a real thing in Chicago, BEAR DOWN…

all anyone wants to focus on is how bad the bears line is while ignoring the improvement they and the offense made the last 2 years when martz was made to run a more balanced attack. in his first year after the bye week they went on a winning streak that lead to division title and playing in the nfc championship game. last year again after being forced to change they went on a 5 game streak and only missed the playoffs because Cutler got hurt. now that they do no not have to change the offense in mid season the line play and offense should continue to get better.

I know I may be in the minority when I say this, but I am a huge Jay Cutler fan. I honestly think that if Shanahan had stuck in Denver, him and Cutler would be having great success right now. Also, I think the trades and constant O-line troubles have really set him back. He has the tools to be a Top-5 QB, even without elite talent around him. Also, his rivalry with Rivers had to be one of the best in the NFL, right on Par with Manning and Brady. Keep him up-right Chicago, you have your franchise QB now, and I can see him leading you to Superbowl berths and even a title.

Marz: 1999 called, it wants its 7 step drop back.

7-step drops couples with no top-shelf WR and a crappy offensive line…..no wonder the Bears struggled last year.

As long as Tice doesn’t introduce the Brandy Ratio…..the Bears with Forte should challenge well for the North.
