Chicago Bears: 5 things they can learn from remaining playoff teams

Josh Allen’s offensive cocoon in Buffalo

The biggest chicken and the egg scenario with the Chicago Bears struggling offense is whether Mitch Trubisky or even Nick Foles are the right fit. The other catch is that Coach Nagy has been too rigid with how his system works, and that the players themselves need too adapt. It’s easy to find passionate fans or media members that provide evidence for either side, but most likely it’s a mixture of both.

The Bears could look to the Buffalo Bills for finding the best combination for creating a calm and efficient schematic environment around a very raw experience wise but athletic quarterback, and slowly mold him by having staff continuity.

Both Josh Allen and current offensive coordinator Brian Daboll came aboard in 2018, and if the past three years are any indication, this has been a raving success for the Bills. Now in hindsight, it’s hard to predict what which direction a first talent like Allen may go, but the Bills can at least be given credit for making him the focus of the team.

Buffalo went out and drafted O linemen and quick running backs, and signed shifty mobile receivers in Cole Beasley, and Stefon Diggs. These are receivers that can can make plays when the play itself breaks down, which is also a specialty of Josh Allen. Nonetheless, Daboll has used all of his chess pieces well, without complicating Allen’s mental aptitude. This has given him momentum as a possible Head Coaching candidate this off season.
