It worked.
Players lived it and loved it.
It was fun and brought the identity everyone keeps talking about.
They went 12-4.

and then it stopped. In its tracks. I'm talking not one gadget play last season.

It's like Nagy showed up, instilled firm roots and a fresh start and then changed.


Why?



Put Mitch and Nick out there same play.
Run Mack up the middle
Send the kicker out for a pass.
Run Patterson up the gut but have him pass.

Why the fuck not?
They can not suck any worse on offense.
So why not?


Was it not entertaining to talk about in 2018?
Media ate it up.
Players loved it.


And boom It stopped.
I do not get it.

At least defenses had no idea what to expect and the offense had at least some form of fun. Now its all frustration and Nagy is stubbornly sticking to the same s*** that doesn't work.

Without Trey Burton?

What's the point?

You don't want to see a triple reverse with Patterson,Mack and Quinn?

Or Mitch and Nick out there dual QB set?

I want to see some real hocus pocus shit out there man.

Santa's Sleigh
Pumpkin Pitch
Turkey Throwback
New Years Kneel Down
Election Day End Around

The possibilities are endless and I'm sure the BHVWGHC has a hundred more ready to break out but just saving them for the perfect time.

This offense can't even execute a half back draw up the middle. What kind of gadget play do you honestly think they are capable of

Hicks up the gut? It worked.

I say we just jedi mind fuck the other team:

Win the toss
Take the ball
Come out in victory formation 3 times
Then punt

Set the fkuing tone early...give them a preview of the end of the game right off the bat!!!

The opponent would be dazed and confused and as a side benefit, we'd run a full 2 mins off the clock And not commit a turnover

Full next level thinking.....pure GENIUS from the BHVWGHC

I'm not kidding you, at one point in the game last night I thought we should just punt on 2nd down and hope our defense could score

My point is Nagy took the league by storm, got coach of the year and then said "let's completely erase those trick plays and go with suck"

All that gimmicky shit worked in 2018. It's like he got too serious or something?


I think he reads the press. I really do. People said "ok let's not get too cute on offense" and out the door went all gimmick plays.
People said "run the ball more evenly" and he runs the ball in Special person situations with no effect and sometimes too much.

They need to go Joe Maddon style and bring some monkeys and giraffes up in practice or something. Bring the fun back.
I'm here to be entertained. You can win ugly or win fun. or lose ugly or lose fun err fuck it....

I don't care at this point is my point. Go out there and try some off the wall shit ya know? What's the worst that could happen? Afraid of the offense sucking? Cuz they already there friends.

Its Nagy's arrogance.

He thought his brilliant passing schemes would work with BDN and he could just stand back there in 3-4WR sets and chuck it around like Belichick and Brady, hand it off a few times "up the gut" to keep the defense honest and the passing game would do the rest.

Pitch wide to Patterson and repeat passes to Harris aren’t gadget plays?
I mean you can’t say that you saw that shit coming.

I can just imagine him after a game like yesterday..... all alone at 2 AM..... eyes blood shot...... he starts muttering "it didn't work, it DIDN'T WORK"....... chairs go flying...... the TV is smashed...... Nagy breaks the Halas jersey case..... he puts it on..... silence...... 10 minutes of stone cold silence..... the master is working..... the wheels are turning...... suddenly a smile cracks his face...... "I know it! I KNOW WHAT WE DID WRONG!"..... he writes down two words..... two words only and falls asleep at the table...... a smile on his face......





" Be you"
