7 Reasons the Chicago Bears won’t win the Super Bowl in 2019

Nagy sophomore slump
In his first-ever season as an NFL head coach, Matt Nagy helped turn around a Bears team that was in the middle of one of their longest playoff droughts in team history.
Nagy came in and a difference was immediately felt in the building. He brought a new offense and a new approach and it translated into Chicago winning 12 games in 2018, something the franchise had only accomplished two times since 1989.
So Nagy and the Bears should be able to achieve a similar amount of success during the upcoming season, right? Well, maybe not.
Last year, the Chicago head coach had the luxury of no one around the league knowing what to expect from his offense. But now, opposing teams have a season of film to examine and pick apart to help them prepare for their next matchup with the Bears.
Nagy will probably mix in a few new elements into Chicago’s offense for 2019, but it may not be enough to throw opposing defenses off their mark. There’s a chance that the Bears head coach could experience a bit of a sophomore slump in his second year with the team.
Like Nagy, a few current coaches around the NFL including Andy Reid, Doug Marrone, John Harbaugh, and Sean Payton were able to help turn their team in the right direction during their first seasons with their respective franchise.
Despite their initial success, these four head coaches also saw their teams take a bit of a step back during their second year. Could the same be in store for Nagy in season No. 2 with Chicago?
