Ben Johnson's arrival in Chicago came with the promise of a truly competent Bears offense for the first time in years. To break down how much of that has already happened we've got one of the best: Coach Dan Casey. Dan has literally written books on the subject and inside you'll find his takes on what is working and what still needs an upgrade on the offensive side of the ball.

A month into the NFL schedule and it's time for early-season report cards. We're starting with defense, so we turned to one of the best in the business at breaking down schemes, Cody Alexander of MatchQuarters.com. Inside you'll find out what he thinks is working... and what still needs an upgrade on Dennis Allen's side of the ball.

The Bears finally played a complete game and sent their last head coach (Matt Eberflus) home to Dallas with an "L."

The Bears need some serious fixing and we've got a plan to do it. Ben Johnson's patience is running thin and Chicago needs to get their season turned around in a hurry. This week we outline the biggest pain point contributing to the losses, and then outline the first things the Bears should do to stop the bleeding. As always we've got our friends from the North Watch checking in and Mike on the Mic too.
