The Bears loss on Thursday night was yet another frustrating performance for fans. This time, it was the offense that failed to show up. While the defense showed signs of life for the first time in weeks—holding the Seahawks to just 6 points and keeping the game close—the rookie-led offense under Caleb Williams couldn’t find the end zone. The Bears ultimately fell 6-3 in a loss that left fans shaking their heads.
Despite the team’s 4-11 record heading into the game, Bears fans packed Soldier Field and created an atmosphere that felt like a playoff game. The crowd was loud and energized, showing incredible support.

However, as the game wore on and disappointment set in, the scene turned all too familiar. Loud boos echoed through the stadium as fans expressed their frustration, even chanting “sell the team” at a volume impossible for team management to ignore.
After the game, Caleb Williams addressed the boos, saying:
“Their frustrations go way longer back than, you know, I’ve been here. My job is to go out there and win games.”

Williams understands the fans’ perspective. The frustration with this team has been building over years of disappointment. This season, however, stands out as one of the worst in recent memory, marked by chaos, poor performances, disappointment, and heartbreak. The Bears are now on a 10-game losing streak, with a finale against Green Bay looming. A 4-13 record seems inevitable.
The fans have every right to boo. It’s up to the players to give them a reason not to by finally playing quality football.
