Whether it was Mike Martz and the Bears coming to an agreement of the minds, or Jay Cutler threatening Martz with his life, there has certainly been a change in the Bears offense.

Now, you would have thought that this would have been obvious much earlier to Martz, especially after what they experienced last season.
