New high-powered Bears offense
Green Bay, meet the new Bears offense - Adam Hoge: Cutler expected the Colts to double-team Marshall a lot Sunday. They didn’t. And they paid for it.
Cutler to Packers defense: 'Good luck' - Moon Mullin: Cutler is well aware that the Packers like to run press coverage against Bears' WRs. But with Marshall and Jeffery now on board, Cutler feels confident in his group.
Cutler eager to unleash offense vs. Packers - Vaughn McClure: Cutler has a career passer rating of 67.5 against the Packers with, 11 interceptions in six games. But he has a much different offense now.

Bears bringing revamped offense to Green Bay - Larry Mayer: If the Packers are studying tape of last year's Bears offense in preparation for Thursday night's NFC North clash in Green Bay, Jay Cutler thinks they're wasting their time.
Cutler urges Packers DBs to make his day - Does he have seven in for pass protection, or only six?
Nine catches adds up just fine for Marshall - Jeff Dickerson: 15 targets every single week is unlikely, but the QB does feel nine catches per game is a realistic goal for the #1 WR.
