Lovie: We're 3-1 after the 1st quarter of the season

Lovie's swearing up and down he's not holding players more accountable than he ever has (see ya Mark Anderson) and he is starting to answer questions by announcing the team's record. What's next? Jay is our quarterback even though he is now a paraplegic.

Despite some many issues with a offensive line, the Bears just may have something going demise might be imminent. A showdown on Monday night Sunday against 2-0 division rival Green Bay winless Carolina awaits. You may have to take Monday off from work for this one if Todd Collins is thrown to the wolves again. My, oh my how things can change in one week.

So Smith's mantra of "We're 3-1", it sure doesn't feel that way. Mike Martz is taking full responsibility along with Lovie and Jerry and that's great. But the blame goes around. Where is the progress after 4 games with this new offense? The pocket collapses quicker with each snap. The coaches are switching offensive lineman in and out making changes on the fly. This is what practice is for. It doesn't appear to be working.

Cutler looked concussed the whole second quarter, but before that he still holds on to the ball too long at times. The Martz offense is 7-step drops and throw, not waiting for the arm-showcase deep ball. Who are you Jay, Rex?

And to those of you that say run the ball more. If the line can't pass block, what makes you think they could run block. Martz in the end could be a terrible hire. Our franchise QB is in jeopardy if he keeps putting him in danger with his playcalling, especially behind this line. Figure it out Mike Tice!!!

Possibly though the team has done the need soul searching this week and can return to some semblance of an offense like in Dallas. They won't give up 10 sacks again. That's almost impossible. But Cutler will take his hits, but hopefully not the free shots that bounce his head off the turf. This Carolina team is awful and should present a limited attack without a passing game. Stop the run and create a few plays in special teams and with turnovers. Bears win the field position battle and win. Prediction: Bears 23, Carolina 16
