LAKE FOREST, IL—It took very little time for the idea to come across coach Lovie Smith's lips this week in practice following last week's debacle at San Francisco. "We have five losses.

One of the inexorable underlying qualities about coach Lovie Smith’s Chicago Bears has been a complete insistence that outsiders really do not know their game well enough to accurately point out their failings. Smith treats criticism of the team by skipping over it and going on to what’s next. “We’ll go from ...What the Chicago Bears’ Offense Needs Is (An) Execution
