Chicago Bears fans will want to yell at Mike Martz the way Jay Cutler used to when they hear Martz’s assessment of the team’s current offense.
There’s a dose of hope locally for what the Bears can become with the team in the early stages of rebuilding under new general manager Ryan Poles and first-year coach Matt Eberflus. That optimism isn’t shared on a national level.
Now Martz — a guy with a proven record as a head coach and offensive mind — is saying the Bears don’t just look bad on offense, they’re as deficient on that side of the ball as the 2008 Detroit Lions, the first NFL team to go 0-16.
