While Bears held on to football, they just didn’t do enough with it

The Bears had exactly one turnover through four preseason games, a total of 220 plays. That was an interception of a Jimmy Clausen pass late in the second quarter of the win over the Indianapolis Colts. After averaging a turnover every 35 or so plays in 2014, reducing turnovers was the most stressed point by Bears new offensive coaches this entire offseason, and with issues on both offense and defense coming into the regular season, calling Jay Cutler a “game manager” looks to be high praise, and important.

It’s been only practice and preseason, and Cutler played just 80 total snaps through preseason.
