Wow, Nagy's evasive word salad pressers get worse by the week. So emblematic of a top down lack of vision.
It's the old Lovie Smith & Jerry Angelo rope-a-dope stuff :-)
We've been down this road before. Phil Emery and Trestman worked it too... and certainly John Fox was a master at being evasive with fans and media with the under-performance of the Bears. It's how we roll here.
"I like our chances" and "there's a lot of football left to play" and on and on.
Its not just the Bears, NFL coaches are terrified about leaking information, knocking a player or just creating a meme. Remember Danny Green? He's not remember for any of his successes, just the "THey are who we thought they are, and we let them off the hook" comment in said in anger after the Bears-Card game in 2005. Of all the things to slam Nagy for, coach speak should be way down the list.

The heck of it is I really liked Denny Green and his honest passion for the game. LOL, I loved that moment where he blew a fuse with the media. Green was a good guy. He won a lot of games at the college and NFL level - often taking over horrific losing teams and turning them around. His parents both died by the time he was 13. The guy just wanted to get a college degree and be a school teacher. But he ended up with a football career instead as a coach. I "get it" that many coaches now are afraid to speak honestly like Green did. It's a shame.
