A telltale Bears season that once looked like it could at least tip-toe to 10-6 or maybe stagger to 9-7, now looks like it’s careening to 8-8 — or worse.
To hear Matt Nagy’s well-intentioned belief in his offense ring more and more hollow in the aftermath of each loss is becoming awkward and a little painful. Every time Nagy insists the offense will get there, it provides more evidence that it will not. The latest examples: a false start on fourth-and-one; a false start on fourth-and-six; a time out after a successful fake punt; David Montgomery stuffed on fourth-and-one; an aborted shovel pass; a Montgomery fumble returned for a game-over touchdown; and no targets for Cole Kmet.
