Bears Head Coach Matt Nagy Not Giving up Play-Calling is Clearly a Problem

Oh, how the mighty Chicago Bears have fallen. One year after dominating the NFC North, the Bears now find themselves with a 4-6 record through 11 weeks of the 2019 season. Any fall from grace would normally result in some drastic changes.

Don't tell head coach Matt Nagy that, as he told the media on Tuesday that he has zero intentions of giving up play-calling this season, even though it's definitely something the Bears should be considering.

While plenty of blame is deservedly placed on quarterback Mitchell Trubisky, Nagy deserves the same amount of responsibility. Nagy continues to live off his reputation as an offensive guru while serving as a coordinator for the Kansas City Chiefs. More than halfway through his second season in Chicago, it's obvious that playbook was left inside the confines of Arrowhead Stadium.

The Bears have more than enough talent on offense. Wide receivers like Allen Robinson, Taylor Gabriel, and Anthony Miller have been ruled obsolete, as Chicago ranks 30th in passing offense (182.8 yards/game). That's due to the poor play of Trubisky, but it's just as much a result of Nagy's coaching.

On paper, Chicago has a dynamic running back duo in rookie David Montgomery and dual-threat back Tarik Cohen. Yet, Nagy barely uses them because of his blind determination to throw the ball nonstop, even when it's proven to be ineffective. As a result, the Bears rank 29th in rushing offense (79.9 yards/game).

Matt Nagy's play-calling has effectively wasted the perfomances from a dominant defense unit that continues to keep the team in games. Let's face it, the Bears aren't touching a playoff spot this season if Nagy continues to put them in position to lose, especially considering the strong seasons of the Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings.

If the Bears coach can't revitalize his offense against a terrible New York Giants defense this weekend, it's time to place Nagy on the hot seat.
