Chicago Bears: How much has the offense actually changed?

The Chicago Bears offense seems to have undergone some major changes.

The Chicago Bears‘ offense has seemed to change much throughout the seasons that head coach Matt Nagy has been here. In his first year here, Nagy seemed to have some creative, fun plays coming out of his back-pocket 24/7. He coached a lot like Andy Reid from the looks of it and it was exciting.

In 2019, that changed completely. Nagy went to a completely different virtually spread offense. The Bears rarely used their tight ends and ran a lot of screens. Some of the trickery was still there, but it never really was effective. He seemed to stray farther away from his Andy Reid offense.

A lot could’ve been blamed for this. He threw the ball a lot and that could have been because of the suspect offensive line that played horribly all season. But, for how much the Bears threw the ball, they really didn’t get a lot of offensive yards and seemed to do almost nothing.

The quarterback could’ve been blamed for this as Mitchell Trubisky struggled greatly to move the ball and hit his targets. On top of this, his once-reliable targets were now becoming less reliable as the Bears were top 10 in the NFL in drops.

Basically, a lot went wrong. So what did Matt Nagy do to his offense to fix this? He brought in new offensive minds to help restructure his offense to his talents. How much did it actually change though?
