You’re taking too much time to get to the point, and that is the Bears are 30th in the NFL in scoring. They have 101 points through seven games, matching where they were at the same point in 2000 and 1997. To find lower scoring outputs for the Bears through seven games, you have to go back to a different era of the NFL: 1980, 1970, 1974, 1979, 1966, 1982, 1967, 1969 and 1975. Nagy is in charge of developing Fields only for now. It’s becoming increasingly evident the team probably will reach a crossroads at the end of this season. There is a lot of football left to play — 10 games — but there aren’t any indications the Bears can dig out of this hole on offense. The line is struggling, particularly in pass blocking, and the skill-position players aren’t helping as much as they can. It’s a mess. But don’t lose sight of the target. This is about the lack of offensive production.
