Bears HC Matt Nagy Says Scoring 3 Points in Loss to Packers Is 'Ridiculous'

The Chicago Bears' 10-3 loss to the Green Bay Packers in Thursday night's season opener at Soldier Field set the bar rather low for the offense going forward.

"Three points is ridiculous," Bears head coach Matt Nagy told reporters after the game, adding: "Obviously unacceptable. It starts with me."

Chicago managed 254 yards of offense and went just 3-of-15 on third downs. The Bears' approach was one-dimensional, with 15 rushing attempts compared to 45 passes.

Specifically, quarterback Mitchell Trubisky failed to deliver on the Bears' final two drives of the game. First, on 3rd-and-10 from the Green Bay 16-yard line, the 2017 second overall pick was intercepted by Adrian Amos in the end zone. 

Chicago's defense forced a three-and-out to give the team another shot to tie the game, but Trubisky threw two incomplete passes before getting sacked on 4th-and-8 to effectively end the game. 

Trubisky finished the game 26-of-45 for 228 yards, no touchdowns and a pick. Overall, the offense wasted the defense's efforts: five sacks and keeping the Packers to fewer offensive yards the the Bears at 213.

Nagy's assessment of his team's performance was echoed by many across Twitter:

Even so, Nagy told reporters he's "in zero panic mode" but rather in "frustration mode." 

"This is not who we are," he noted.

Unfortunately for the Bears, Vic Fangio knows exactly who they are. The former Bears defensive coordinator is in his first season as Denver Broncos head coach and should know better than anybody how to scheme against Chicago's offense for their Week 2 matchup.
