Uncertainty from the very beginning for the Chicago Bears

Since the opening drive, fans have been calling for Andy Dalton to get benched in favor of Justin Fields. Andy Dalton suffered an injury during his revenge game against the Bengals and it forced the Bears to turn Fields way.

After his first start, the fans that were demanding for Fields to start were left speechless.  Many Bear fans are looking foolish with some of the stuff they had claimed before the season started. Chicago is notorious for overhyping someone right out of the gate, just for them to end up laying an egg.

The Bears Offensive line might have been the majority of the problem, but Fields also made many mistakes of his own. You can’t be the best quarterback on the roster when you only complete 30% of your passes.

Last week’s performance by the Bears Offense was disgusting

I had seen a statistic on the Bears vs the Browns and it blew my mind.

Fox Sports had written, “The Bears averaged 1.1 yards per offensive play, the second-fewest by any team in a game this century”. The question I need to know is how did Nagy not get fired after the game last week? Hell, how did Matt Nagy not get fired after the 2020 season?

More fans every week are turning on Nagy and the Bears ownership needs to do something about it. The 2018 COTY is one of the biggest frauds in Bears’ history. The Bears need to get rid of the anchor that is Matt Nagy and move on. Until they do that, the Bears aren’t going anywhere.
