Matt Nagy called out Chicago Bears players after blowout loss to Packers

Matt Nagy ripped his own team after a poor performance last night.

Any hope that the Chicago Bears’ offense could get a kick in the rear end with Mitchell Trubisky under center instead of Nick Foles was completely squashed against Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers, as the Bears were pummeled 41-25 in a game that wasn’t nearly that close when one considers the two garbage-time touchdowns Chicago scored

In the aftermath, head coach Matt Nagy claimed that his team showed a complete lack of effort, calling the game “embarrassing” and accusing his players of “lacking personal pride.”

Matt Nagy’s Bears have been running on fumes for the last month

It’s easy to forget that Chicago was, at one point, 5-1 and eyeing a home playoff game. However, Foles’ inability to stretch the field and Nagy’s bizarre play-calling has helped the Bears sink back into the mediocrity that is the bottom half NFC North.

Nagy might end up getting the axe after this year despite a winning record as a coach, as his stagnant offense, which he was hired to explicitly fix, is ahead of only the Jets in several key categories. Chuck Pagano’s defense has been trying their best to carry the Bears to wins, but even a unit that was fully healthy couldn’t keep playing at that level for an extended period of time, and Rodgers responded by burning them for four touchdown passes.

Ultimately, Nagy might just be putting more nails in his own coffin. If a team isn’t motivated to play their biggest rival in primetime after losing four straight games, shouldn’t the head coach get the blame for that? What was already a messy scenario for the Bears has turned into an absolute joke, and Nagy might be realizing he could be coaching his final five games in Chicago.
