For as sure that I was about the Chicago Bears defense not regressing at all under new defensive coordinator Chuck Pagano, I was equally as positive that their offense was going to take a step in production this season. I wasn’t looking for a Chiefs like explosion from this group, but there was no doubt in my mind that Mitchell Trubisky and company would be making small gains each week as they mastered the 202 version of the playbook.
But so far through five games this offense has regressed.
Whether you want to blame the offensive line, the quarterback play, the receivers, the play calling or the scheme, ultimately it’s on head coach Matt Nagy to get things figured out.
