The Chicago Bears finished with a disappointing end to what opened up as a promising season in 2012. Injuries along the offensive line and to Jay Cutler and Matt Forte kept them from making the playoffs. That didn’t sit with new GM Phil Emery, who has made tremendous strides in addressing key weaknesses during the offseason. Changes in the coaching staff, new offensive weapons, and a returning defensive unit ensure that Lovie Smith’s team is going to be interesting, at the very least. Now let’s dive into the 2012 Chicago Bears!

The Offense

We all saw how important Jay Cutler was to this team after he suffered his hand injury which kept him out of the stretch run. Cutty’s back and in a familiar offense with some new/old friends. Matt Forte signed his new contract without missing most of training camp, which means he should be in a groove when the regular season starts. Emery brought in the bruising Michal Bush, who showed in preseason a glimpse of his goal line/short-yardage effectiveness. How the Bears have another legitimate backfield pairing, which should help keep Forte healthy late in the year.
