Sounds Like Matt Nagy Has Already Broken The Spirit Of Chiefs Fans

Kansas City Chiefs fans were thrilled when their team re-hired Matt Nagy to replace Eric Bieniemy as offensive coordinator. The unit wouldn't miss a beat from last season when it was the #1 offense in the NFL. Nagy knew the system and already had a previous relationship with quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Meanwhile, Chicago Bears fans issued a warning: be careful what you wish for. Time has proven them correct. The Chiefs offense has looked like a shadow of what it was the past few years.

People are trying to blame the situation at wide receiver, yet the unit isn't all that different from last year. The only notable change was allowing Juju Smith-Schuster to leave in free agency. It is virtually the same group. To go from #1 in the NFL to #14 that quickly, despite having your future Hall of Fame quarterback in his prime, doesn't feel right. The only significant change made to the structure was hiring Nagy. It looks like fans are starting to catch on. Though the Chiefs are still on course to win the division, fears linger about the offense.

Matt Nagy got handed a great thing and is ruining it.

His rigid structure and lack of red zone ability were always major sticking points in Chicago. His inability to hold players accountable was also another problem. All of that has surfaced in Kansas City. Constant mental mistakes have plagued the offense for months. Think about this. Last year under Bieniemy, they scored 27 or more points in a game 11 times during the regular season. They've done it three times in 11 games this season under Nagy. Even if they did it in every remaining game, they'd still come up way short of last year.

Bears fans obviously have it rough these days with Matt Eberflus and company. However, make no mistake. They would not be better off with Matt Nagy. The team was already falling apart during his last season in charge. NFL defenses exposed his lack of play calling prowess long ago. It was hoped that coming back under Andy Reid's wing would curb his bad tendencies. That doesn't seem to be the case. One can only imagine how bad the backlash would be if the Chiefs' defense weren't keeping the team afloat.
