Caleb Williams’ postgame comments have Bears fans seeing red (Daniel Bartel-Imagn Images)

The Chicago Bears‘ Season is practically a script for how not to do it. A 6:3 defeat against the Seattle Seahawks sealed their 10th straight loss on Thursday and was a rookie quarterback Caleb Williams didn’t exactly help his case. While he admitted mistakes in his post-game comments, his overall tone seemed distant. Fans? They didn’t have it.

Williams told reporters: “Their frustration goes back a lot longer than I was here. My job is to go out and win games.” Fair, but it feels like shirking responsibility when the offense is so bad. He threw for 122 yards with one interception, was sacked seven times and posted a passer rating of 53.0. It’s not just about tried and tested frustrations. It’s about now.

A night to, well… forget

Williams had another brutal outing. He threw for just 122 yards, no touchdowns and one interception while being sacked seven times. That late-game sack before the two-minute warning? Expensive. It ended any hope of scoring a field goal to close things out. This wasn’t just a bad game – it was his fifth of the season with fewer than 150 passing yards. These numbers are not enough for a supposed franchise quarterback.

To his credit, Williams took some responsibility: “I didn’t play well enough. “I didn’t help put the team in a good position to win.” Sure, you say that, but responsibility only means something if it’s accompanied by improvement. And at the moment there is little evidence of this.

The fans are so over it

The fan base is growing, and honestly, who can blame them? Criticism of Williams and the Bears organization circulated on social media. One fan tweeted: “This guy has talent but lacks leadership skills. You can’t build someone like that around.” Another called his post-game comments “a masterclass in deflecting blame without actually taking responsibility.”

It’s not just Williams – this franchise has been a mess for years. The offensive line is a sieve and the coaching staff seems allergic to adjustments. But when you’re No. 1 overall, fair or not, the spotlight burns hotter.
The season ends next week against the Packers and the question is not only whether the Bears can win, but also whether Caleb Williams can show something. Anything. Because at the moment the fans don’t believe the excuses. And honestly, he shouldn’t be doing that either.

What’s next for Chicago?

The Bears face the Packers next, but it’s less about this season and more about what they’re going to do to fix this mess. Williams has talent; no one doubts that. But the front office needs to surround him with better coaching and a functional roster if they expect him to succeed.

Until then, the blame game between players, fans and management will continue. As for Williams, this season may not define his career, but it’s certainly not the start he – or the Bears – were hoping for.
