Talk:2013 Chicago Bears season

Some thoughts
As requested by, here are some of my thoughts on the article:
 * The lead is riddled with references, which, if the lead truly summarizes the article, need not be there. I don't think Urlacher's departure warrants mention in the lead, or at the very least, his retirement does not need to. I guess my point is that the lead should be rewritten once you have everything in the article you need, then rewrite it to summarize each section/subsection.
 * The organizational change section is rather overwhelming. Is there possibly a more visually appealing way to show the coaching changes and roster comings/goings such as a table or a graphic?
 * Watch the MOS in the draft section (i.e. fiftieth pick should be 50th pick, etc.), but the content looks good.
 * Remainder of offseason section looks fine.
 * I made a minor tweak in the preseason section, and question the need for such a dissertation on the preseason games. Might it be better to focus on position battles and roster cuts rather than what happened on the field in the context of the game?
 * It was Cutler's fifth season as captain, Garza's as third, sixth for Mannelly, and third for Peppers. What about Briggs?
 * I will review the game summaries and postseason stuff once they are finished. Nice start!  Go  Phightins  !  19:24, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Sorry it took 7 months to write, but the NASCAR season has really hampered my work time. I finished the recaps, and I might add some more soon, so I think you can take an early look for now.  Zappa  24  Mati   19:01, 7 September 2014 (UTC)
