Bears need to show, not just say, that offense is on right track

Ashlee Rezin/Sun-Times

Getsy’s Bears were 23rd in points last season.

The Bears have a history of telling you that your eyes are lying to you, that what you just saw wasn’t what really happened. It wasn’t long ago that Matt Nagy promised that years of offensive floundering were merely the learning curve on the path to a breakout season that never arrived.

So there’s some warranted skepticism when offensive coordinator Luke Getsy assures everyone that everything’s fine. With the Bears, it rarely is.

That’s unfair to Getsy, who walked into Halas Hall just 18 months ago.
