The Chicago Bears offense has been an utter failure this season. While a bulk of the criticism has fallen on quarterback Mitchell Trubisky, and rightfully so, he’s far from the only problem.

Chicago’s offensive line has struggled, the Bears have no run game, receivers are dropping passes and tight ends have been virtually absent all season.

The responsibility of the Bears offense falls on Matt Nagy, and he’s a big part of the problem. Not that he’s willing to admit it.

With the Bears’ offense ranking 28th in scoring and 30th in total yardage, Nagy doesn’t believe it’s his scheme that’s the problem.

“What I would say is this,” Nagy said, via NBC Sports Chicago, acknowledging that if he felt he was the problem, “I’ll be the first to tell you, then we need to be better or if there’s a rhythm to something. I have zero ego and I have zero care of giving play-call duties to somebody else. I really do not care about that, and if that’s what we feel like from going through it that that’s what we need to do, then I would do that, I really would.

“But when you go through the tape and you look at things and you know schematically where we’re at and what we’re calling and when we’re calling it. … There’s without a doubt a few plays in that game that I would go back and say, ‘You know what, that’s our fault. We didn’t scheme it right,’ and that starts with me. And I need to be able to accept that and know how do I fix that. But we’ll do everything we can … we’re turning over every stone to get this thing right.”

Nagy has been a play caller since 2017, when he served as Chiefs offensive coordinator under Andy Reid. Despite the fact that offensive coordinator Mark Helfrich has experience calling plays at the collegiate level, it doesn’t appear that Nagy is going to give him a chance to call plays anytime soon.
