Twitter is confident Bill Lazor is calling plays for Bears, not Matt Nagy
The Chicago Bears look like a completely different offense from a week ago. Sure, they were playing a better defense in the Cleveland Browns. But it’s been more than that. There’s been a rhythm on offense not present since late last season.
While Bears head coach Matt Nagy refused to say who would be calling plays against the Lions, it’s clear to Bears fans and football observers that this is not a Matt Nagy offense. It looks like it’s Bears offensive coordinator Bill Lazor calling plays.
Chicago’s offense looked impressive in the first half, scoring on their first two drives of the game. There’s been a nice balance of run and pass, where rookie quarterback Justin Fields has been given chances to go deep with the ball, including a beautiful 64-yard pass to receiver Darnell Mooney. Heck, running back David Montgomery even got 15 carries — in the first half.
Safe to say Lazor has been a success early.
Be you, Bill Lazor, be you!

This feels a lot like Bill Lazor is calling the plays today. #Bears

Bill Lazor understands that David Montgomery is his offense’s best player

Yeah, I really think Bill Lazor is calling plays for the #Bears today.
It's against the Lions, sure, but this offense looks night and day compared to last week. Really nice opening drive.

So Bill Lazor knows how to use Justin Fields, huh? pic.twitter.com/OukQlghhWr

Putrid offense; Trubisky has good games with Bill Lazor calling plays. Putrid offense; Fields has good game with Bill Lazor calling plays.
Matt Nagy getting the slap in the face he deserves. This #Bears offense is actually fun to watch now.

Justin Fields + Bill Lazor = 🔥🔥🔥

Bill Lazor is calling plays today. #Bears get a TD on their first drive. Don't think I need to say much more.

David Montgomery runs like he hates you, Part 75.
Second rushing TD of the day. Justin Fields is perfect to start the game. Life looking different with Bill Lazor calling plays.

The @ChicagoBears offense looked nothing like Matt Nagy’s offense that opening drive
— Dan Orlovsky (@danorlovsky7) October 3, 2021
This is a completely different team with Bill Lazor calling plays. Two worlds.

Bill Lazor, coordinator of the year? Too early or is it time to make the trophy?
— Mike Berman (@MikeBermanNBC) October 3, 2021
Looks like it might be Mr. Bill Lazor calling plays. Although that last play was short of the sticks…looks familiar
— Joey Ricotta (@theriot326) October 3, 2021
In retrospect, the 13 personnel to begin the game, and then I-formation on play #2, was a fine and super clear “how do you do” from new play caller Bill Lazor.
— M@ (@MattSpiegel670) October 3, 2021
There’s absolutely no way Matt Nagy was calling plays on that first drive. It has to be Bill Lazor or someone else, lol.
— Faizan Qurashi (@FaizanQurashi) October 3, 2021
Two clues that Bill Lazor was calling plays. Nagy's not holding his Denny's menu and the drive ended in a touchdown.

We may never know who the play caller is today because reasons, but that opening drive sure looked like it had Bill Lazor written all over it.

9 rushing attempts for Monty in 1Q??! God bless you, Bill Lazor

Matt Nagy is gonna have to make a room in his house for all of Bill Lazor's play cards
— Ryan Pace's Burner (@BearsGMBurner) October 3, 2021
Justin Fields 🤝 Bill Lazor forever 👏🏻

JUATIN FIELDS FOR MAYOR! Bill Lazor must be calling plays, that was the best deep ball we’ve seen since Jay Cutler was in town!

I can already tell Bill Lazor is calling this game lol

Tempo, motion, playaction.
That was Bill Lazor.
Not Matt Nagy. pic.twitter.com/4wVK4QxMCH— ZAN (@ZANmadden) October 3, 2021
Is this the Bears biggest play of the year so far? Coincidence that it’s the first game with Bill Lazor calling plays?
I think not. https://t.co/DUhbLWOcHl— Jeff Mueller, PT, DPT (@jmthrivept) October 3, 2021
That felt like a professional offensive drive orchestrated by a competent play caller. Clearly, Bill Lazor calling plays today. Amazing how obvious the difference was on that first drive. #FireMattNagy #DETvsCHI
