No, they were really good last year.

Bears general manager Phil Emery revamped the offensive line last offseason, signing left tackle<a class="" href='http://www.chicagobears.com/team/roster/jermon-bushrod/c28c2eb1-ce49-4a3a-aca1-10243c1ede02/' title="Jermon Bushrod"> Jermon Bushrod</a> and left guard <a class="" href='http://www.chicagobears.com/team/roster/matt-slauson/4fe68983-b2e7-4580-b9bd-b74555a160b4/' title="Matt Slauson">Matt Slauson</a> in free agency and drafting right guard <a class="" href='http://www.chicagobears.com/team/roster/kyle-long/a38ba004-15dc-444a-b588-9cb3848142b1/' title="Kyle Long">Kyle Long</a> and right tackle <a class="" href='http://www.chicagobears.com/team/roster/jordan-mills/431d3aa1-35a7-4aa7-93b6-28ae85d71ec3/' title="Jordan Mills">Jordan Mills</a>.The four newcomers gelled quickly with veteran center <a class="" href='http://www.chicagobears.com/team/roster/roberto-garza/63a4933c-de3c-4723-9926-5dfbc53db83a/' title="Roberto Garza">Roberto Garza</a>—the only returning starter—and served as a catalyst for a record-breaking offense in 2013

 

Although the Bears were decimated by injuries on defense in 2013, all five of their offensive linemen started all 16 games.

 

The cohesiveness the line developed helped the Bears allow only 30 sacks, tied for the fourth fewest in the NFL, and pave the way for Pro Bowl running back<a class="" href='http://www.chicagobears.com/team/roster/matt-forte/4b36c279-8a58-41a0-8ab4-8a11803586e1/' title="Matt Forte"> Matt Forte</a> to rush for a career-high 1,339 yards, the most by any Bears player other than Hall of Famer Walter Payton.

Don't know who will play for them tonight, but I look forward to see your defense again.
