Coach Lovie Smith said that quarterback Jay Cutler didn’t influence Mike Martz’s future with the team. Smith told the Sun-Times that he talked to Martz on Tuesday, informed his staff and then talked to Cutler, who was at Halas Hall that day. A report Thursday said that Cutler went to the team’s headquarters and let Smith know he was in favor of Martz not returning, before the...

In one of the least shocking events of the day, Mike Tice was named Chicago Bears offensive coordinator. Last season, the Tennessee Titans were denied the opportunity to interview Tice for the same position.
I like this move. Tice has done an excellent job with the Chicago Bears offensive line. He’s more conservative of a play caller than former coordinator Mike Martz. Many...

Before the Green Bay Packers and Vince Lombardi, it was the Chicago Bears who were Kings of professional football. Long before the Steelers, Cowboys, 49ers and Packers were winning multiple Super Bowl's, the Chicago Bears were dominating football to the tune of eight NFL Championships pre-merger. Why then, with such a rich history, have the Chicago Bears only won one title since...

The most obvious statement of the day is that the Chicago Bears need to address wide receiver. Considering how poor this unit played last season and in previous seasons, getting a game breaker for the Chicago Bears at receiver seems to be the most important thing the organization can do.
I am actually going to defy logic here a bit and suggest the most important position the Chicago...

Jay Cutler was not wild about Mike Martz's hiring, but the two quickly became friends during training camp in 2010. There were jokes -- possibly made right here -- about the bromance that developed. Two days ago, Cutler reportedly told Lovie Smith he was ready to move on without Martz. How did it fall apart so quickly?
It started with Martz's inability to tailor his...

In classic fashion, Mike Tice highlighted one of his strengths with a self-deprecating shot. “I have been organized my whole life,” Tice said via e-mail, “because I am not smart. “Details are the key. We need to detail everything out. Have a play for every situation. And have a way to get out of all bad plays.” Those are welcome words from the Bears’ new offensive coordinator...
