Maybe those comments by Martz did something to motivate Jay, and make him focus.

It seems like he’s so much more focused since after the Green Bay game – like he’s a different quarterback. With the exception of the 1 pick in Seattle, he’s almost been perfect the last 3 games.

The analysts are amazingly quite, now. The silence it deafening!

Personally...

…I just think the offense is building the chemistry they need to improve their performance. It’s easy to think that a QB coming off a ProBowl year will come in and play lights out. But it’s also unrealistic. Last year, P.Manning struggled early because he missed all of training camp. That says alot to me about the necessary timing among the offensive positions. QBs, WRs, and the o-line all need playing time to build trust, understand tendencies, and learn each other’s strengths and weaknesses. I think our offense will continue to improve throughout the year. As they do, our young defensive players will continue to gain valuable game experience. Even our special teams will improve from learning to adjust to the new wedge rule.

Then again, I’m a homer. :)

With 4.5 sacks in just four games, Bears defensive end Adewale Ogunleye is making a strong case for a contract extension

Exactly what scares me!

Mhm

I know. It’s always hard not to think that someone is just playing for money in a contract year.

How old am I, that I had to look up what Mhm meant?!?

Well....

…then maybe we sign him to an incentive-laden contract and get the best of both worlds!

I still don't know what Jay did

…to get such criticism from Martz. I wish he’d explain that a bit more.

is having a 24/7 Chicago Bears Network?
