I really don't think the Bears offense is that great. It's good, but not the
third best in the league. They feed off the defense. I can think of
several offenses which are much better, but unfortunately labor for teams
with terrible defenses. Can you imagine the Chargers' offense with the
Bears defense? Now THAT would be great. (Or Miami's offense, or Cincinnati's.)
