Windy City Gridiron - Being who you thought we were since 2005!

The optimism is at an all-time high this time of year before the upcoming season. Let's take a look back at what players and coaches were saying in 2010, 2011 and 2012.

2013 won't be the first time Jay Cutler has worked with the West Coast Offense. This will actually be his 5th professional season working in some form of the WCO, so how has he fared in the past?

Some quick thoughts and key highlights from the Chicago Bears' press conference introducing new head coach Marc Trestman.

The 2012 season is over, but our NFL Thoughts are a plenty. Sit back and enjoy a relatively coach free zone.

What a disappointing end to a disappointing season. Much like the Chicago Bears have no one to blame but themselves for their 2012 failure, Lovie Smith has only himself to blame for his firing. His inability to find an O.C. doomed him.

Lovie Smith's seat is getting hotter by the day, but how much blame does the coach deserve for the team's continued offense woes?

The Green bay Packers have better personnel that the Chicago Bears, not only between the lines, but also among the coaches. On Sunday there were a few shining examples of the Bears coaching staff not having the wits to compete.

The Bears are in freefall, with rumors swirling about Lovie Smith's job hanging in the balance. If the Bears are going to save Lovie, they need to do it Sunday. And Jay Cutler needs to lead the way.

I find it hard to believe that the Chicago Bears coaching staff still believes that their best option at tight end is Kellen Davis. With three games remaining in the season what do the Bears have to lose.

Evaluating Lovie Smith, not only as a coordinator, and but as a coach, and how responsibility for his product stacks between him and the rest of the NFL
