And the worse case scenario happens:

Bears rookie quarterback Justin Fields‘ first NFL start ended with a loss and it may have ended with an injury as well.

Head coach Matt Nagy told reporters after the 26-6 loss to the Browns that Fields may have dinged up his hand on the final play of the game. He didn’t elaborate on what might have happened, but there should be more word in the coming hours about the rookie’s condition.

Fields was 6-of-20 for 68 yards through the air on Sunday and he added 12 yards on three rushing attempts. The Bears only had 47 net yards of offense and Nagy blamed himself for the unit’s shortcomings.

“I obviously as a head coach did not do a good enough job of getting this offense ready. . . It starts with me. It ends with me,” Nagy said, via Chris Emma of 670 The Score.

Andy Dalton‘s outlook for Week Four is uncertain because of a knee injury. If he and Fields can’t go, Nagy will be trying to get the offense ready for Nick Foles‘ first start of the season.

At some point there needs to be accountability. If the guy keeps being the problem, deal with it. This is obviously going to be a wasted season....

What I feared (and knew in my heart) happened. Nagy is a **** idiot. Even the most incompetenly coached teams in the NFL today can scheme for at least 14 points.

Leave it to the genius to game plan a mobile QB as if he was a statue. He and this coaching "staph" are going to ruin the kid before he gets going.

It was a bad feeling when they retained Pace/Nagy at the end of last year- and when Nagy said he was taking back play calls, I just knew it would not end well.....

Like I said earlier- the Bears are the new Browns.....

When your O-line is over matched it really doesn't matter what plays you call.  Bears offense seems basic.   Montgomery up the middle.  Passes to WRs that stop and wait for the ball - nothing in stride.   No deep balls.  No screens.

That first 3rd down the entire Cleveland defense is on the left side and there isn't a defensive end on the right side.  Just a CB on Mooney 10 yards back.  3rd and 2.   Sweep left is destroyed.

Fields stares down his primary and throws into double coverage.  Doesn't feel the pressure - doesn't step up.   Holds the ball way too long - nothing quick. 

Nagy knew that Fields wasn't ready but the city of Chicago didn't believe him. 

Dalton would have been carted off the field today if he had played.  Same with Foles.

I think we are going to go through all three QB's before this season is over if he doesn't change his scheme or the O-line doesn't magically improve.

Oh bullsh!t, 90 percent of the league have an average to below average OL.  Good coaches find a way to SCHEME ("it's scheme Brad 100% it's scheme") their way to more than a yard per play on offense.  You think the Texans had to have an elite OL to score 21 on these a$$holes last week?  Yes the Bears OL made Cleveland way better than they really are, but it is up to the coach to adjust.

This is full on Trestman 2.0 and he's got to go.  Loggains and Shoop were boring boobs but they never looked this clueless...

Amen. So Pace has to go along with Nagy. Cant fire one without the other.

They've got to move on from Nagy, however it happens. This guy is not getting it done and he's totally clueless. How many times are we going to hear 'it starts with me, I didn't get it done' again and again and again. There HAS to be accountability and they cannot afford to get their supposed franchise QB killed out there!
