It's a Brad Bigg's article. Nagy is saying don't panic. I don't think we're in full-blown panic mode yet. But it's not exactly a "feel good" time either. It's like the engines are sputtering (nothing new there) but the plane is still in the air. For now. Pilot Nagy is telling us to return to our seats, buckle up - and to not worry. He's got this :-)
Regarding Nagy's press conference, it sounds like he's throwing Sean Desai under the bus a tad here. I don't think it was a scheme problem or a coaching problem Sunday night. I think it was a problem with players just not getting it done. JMO.

“The biggest theme for us would be ‘no panic,’ ” coach Matt Nagy said Monday afternoon. “And just understand that, hey, that was Sean’s first game calling (the defense) and this was our first game, and we understand that that’s not good enough.
The Bears have huge investments on defense and a coordinator who, while he hasn’t called plays before this season, isn’t in a get-to-know-you phase with his players. They have to be significantly better if they want to compete more than every once in a while.
Talking about culture — the Bears culture has been positively .500 the last two seasons — and using corporate jargon that doesn’t apply on the gridiron only will pass the time from one Sunday to the next. The Bears need action, and they need to play with an edge when they host the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday at Soldier Field.
