Chicago Bears: How to fix the offensive struggles

No More Slow Motion

I want to see the play-calling speed up more. When the Bears have their backs up against the wall, Trubisky seems to excel. Playing quick will keep his mind off of things and let his natural talent shine through. This is what we saw on the final drive in the Eagles game last year. This is what we saw on the final play before the field goal kick to win in Denver.

The Bears will not have to worry about delay of game penalties if they are using an up-tempo offense. This should help Trubisky and the others get into a quick rhythm too. Not to mention, it means Nagy will have to make quicker decisions. One could argue that his 202 and 303 offense needs to be brought back to a 101 level.

I am not putting this all on Trubisky either. Receivers have run wrong routes and are not getting open, the offensive lineman have been seen out of place and blocking absolutely no one while defenders rush free and the tight end position has been nothing spectacular.

I want to see the offense push the defense back. Do not let them make necessary substitutions. Run plays that allow the receivers to break free when in man coverage or quick ins and slants to take advantage of the pockets in zone coverage. Nagy needs to get back to the basics of lining up and proving you have the more talented team.

I am not expecting much against Washington next Monday night. I think the offense will struggle once again and hopefully, the defense can hold strong. The Chicago Bears are good enough to overcome Washington, but Week 4 against Minnesota is a different story. This team better work things out offensively before that game or this will be a long season Bears fans.
