Why is a loss more important for the Chicago Bears this week against the Lions?

The No. 1 reason a loss is more important is that the Chicago Bears will have justification for letting Matt Nagy try coaching with a new team. There are pieces of evidence that show Matt Nagy isn’t working out with the Chicago Bears, yet it seems like he has one more chance this week.

It seems like week-in and week-out, Matt Nagy is given the benefit of the doubt, even though he hasn’t really been the one that deserved it.

The self-inflicted wounds he withstands, not only personally but through the team, seem to be endless.

While a loss isn’t great for a team trying to win now with their talented defense, a loss in Week 4 isn’t the end of the world. It’s surely not the best-case scenario, however, it’s not the worst.

If the offense is, for a second week in a row, stagnant and not fit for Justin Fields, it’s more apparent to me that Nagy never gave up play-calling, as I believe Bill Lazor is competent enough to scheme with a dual-threat weapon like Justin Fields.

One of the bigger problems with the Chicago Bears losing this week, however, is it gives Nagy more reason to go back to Dalton. Now, that’s depending on whether or not Dalton is truly ready, but with his limited participation Wednesday, he seems to be closer than anticipated.

There’s been a lot said, but what are my overall thoughts on what’s a more important outcome in Week 4?
