With the holidays upon it, the NFL’s regular season is about to wrap up as 12 teams prepare for the postseason. The Chicago Bears are not one of those teams.
After a disappointing 2019 season, one that was once ripe with expectations, they’ll be headed into an early hibernation with many questions to be answered.
So in the holiday spirit, here are six things we’re asking Santa for the Bears as they head into 2020:
1. Efficient offensive play calling
The responsibility of the offense starts with head coach/play caller Matt Nagy, who wasn’t able to take his offense to the next step in the second year of his offense. While a large part of the offense’s struggles were execution, it trickled down to the play caller who didn’t seem to put them in a position to execute.
Whether Nagy has to step down as offensive play caller or he takes this offseason to do some self reflecting about his role in the offense’s woes, the Bears need a competent play caller to make this offense run in 2020.
