The criticisms of Dowell Loggains’ Bears offense under John Fox in the 2017 season are by now well known and firmly understood. From the famed nonsensical run-run-pass ratio that opposing defenses used to repeatedly stick Chicago in less than ideal third down situations, to a general lack of rhythm and not maximizing what talent (Jordan Howard, Tarik Cohen, Mitchell Trubisky) the Bears actually had: Loggains’ scheme was thoroughly inane.
This stubborn commitment to a broken plan was a demonstrative part of the reason the Bears had the NFL’s 29th ranked scoring offense, 30th ranked offense, and 32nd ranked passing offense.
