Stop Marshall, you stop the Bears offense
When you are handed a fresh defensive game plan in the NFL, the amount of information that is suddenly dropped into your lap can be overwhelming. It starts with personnel. Then it moves to down-and-distance tendencies, alignments, formations, play...

Trestman should open up world of opportunity for Bears
I spent Wednesday afternoon looking over old game plans and going through worn notebooks in my home office after the Bears hired Marc Trestman as their coach. I started with Andy Reid's offense, then Jon Gruden's and Sean Payton's. My notes on route...Tags: Mike Tice, Sean Payton, National Football League, Jay Cutler, Jon Gruden

Bears will present different look with Marshall
In the Bears' victory over the Vikings, Jay Cutler and the offense leaned on the Spot route (Corner-Flat-Curl combination) to target Brandon Marshall in third-and-2 to -6 situations. Look for the Bears to add some window dressing Sunday in their...

If Bears can't gain half-yard, they deserve to lose
Lovie Smith was wrong. About being wrong, that is. The situation: The Bears had a seven-point lead and were faced with a fourth-and-half-a-yard to go on the Seahawks' 15 on their first possession of the second quarter. To the delight of the...

Bears don't respond like a playoff team in loss
As shaken Seahawks wide receiver Sidney Rice lay flat on his back in the end zone after scoring the winning touchdown Sunday in Seattle's 23-17 overtime victory over the Bears, fans gave him a warped welcome to the southeast corner of Soldier Field....

Bears dependence on Marshall exposes flaws
If the Packers take away Brandon Marshall as effectively as they did in their September matchup, and the Bears stay true to character, there is no chance the Bears will score enough points to win Sunday. That is the reality of their offense. So when...

Time for Emery to shake things up at Halas Hall
DETROIT — Wearing a knotted tie and a focused gaze, Patrick Mannelly looked like a nervous stockbroker staring at the morning ticker as he sat on a folding chair Sunday inside the visiting Bears locker room. A few feet away, fellow Bears veteran...

There's no crying in football
So, let me get this right: The Bears are supposed to follow a guy reduced to tears? The Bears, I’m talking. The Chicago Bears. You remember them: They used to be tough. Now, after yet another loss to a better team and a better organization, they...

Emery's bold choice could be inspired -- or disastrous
For a guy who comes across as a button-down football conservative, Bears general manager Phil Emery continues to take bold risks that defined his first year on the job. For such a humble man, Emery sure seems intent on proving he is the smartest guy in...

Bears face big decisions on several key players
Most of the players on the Bears roster were acquired by Jerry Angelo to be coached by Lovie Smith. Now that neither is part of the organization anymore, many of those players might not be feeling quite as secure. The fates of many familiar faces in the...

Change could be coming after Bears miss playoffs
DETROIT — The Bears could spend between now and wild-card weekend counting the reasons they will be sitting at home with 10 wins. A defensive meltdown in Week 13 against the Seahawks and a brutal loss at Minnesota the following week are good places...

Bears' offense is light years from what I saw last weekend
You know what happened last weekend? Quarterbacking happened, that’s what. Offense happened. Points happened. You know what else happened? Yet another example of how far the Bears' offense is from being championship-worthy, that’s...
