After a Thursday night loss to the Seattle Seahawks in a game that could be used as a hospital’s alternative to anesthesia, the Chicago Bears fell to 4-12, continuing their free fall with 10 straight losses.
Bears star rookie QB, Caleb Williams was 16-for-28 passing with 122 yards, no touchdowns, 1 interception and was sacked 7 times—dogshit performance from the No. 1 overall pick.
During the most boring and brutal loss of the year, Bears fans started a “sell the team” chant.

The Chicago Bears were 4-2 this season before Jayden Daniels and the Washington Commanders beat them on a last second Hail Mary, sending Chicago’s season to hell and exposing every leak and flaw in their organization.
The head coach was fired and now fans are begging the owner to sell the team.
After the game, Caleb Williams was asked about the “Sell the team” chants and his answer just proves that he just doesn’t have what it takes to be the no. 1 guy.
Yikes: Caleb Williams speaks on #Bears fans booing the team at Soldier Field:
“Their frustrations go way longer back than, you know, I’ve been here. My job is to go out there and win games.”
What an AWFUL response…

“It’s my first year, so, you know, their frustrations go way longer back then I’ve been here,” Williams said. “My job is to, you know, go out there and win games. We don’t focus on outside noise. You know the fans are…they’re going to cheer and maybe boo sometimes. You can’t react to that. It’s not something that you know we react to.”
“We have a job to do. Sometimes you know, you don’t, you don’t do so well on the job some days, and some days you, you know, you’re pretty consistent. Some days, you play a great game.”
Nothing Caleb said was even wrong but his answer is indicative of a bigger problem for the rookie.
Caleb Williams will never succeed in Chicago and it’s his fault
Caleb is absolutely right. This is only his first year and the frustration from Bears fans goes back wayyyy longer than his arrival.
In 2019, Justin Herbert was the projected no. 1 overall pick in the draft. He decided to stay in college one more year claiming he wanted his degree and blah blah but truthfully, he was either going to end up in Arizona playing for a team that literally just drafted Josh Rosen the year earlier and fired everyone after just one season or the New York Giants that were clinging to the corpse of Eli Manning. Both Arizona and New York still suck.
There are ways to avoid being drafted by a dysfunctional organization.
If Caleb Williams or someone in his corner paid attention to the NFL over the last 40 years, they’d recognize the Chicago Bears as the exact last destination a top QB prospect should go.
This is the owner of the Bears:
Virginia Halas McCaskey is 101 years old. And I’m not exaggerating like when I want to make fun of Aaron Rodgers. She’s literally been on this planet for over 100 years.
Joe Biden was too old to run for president again. Virginia McCaskey is 20 years older than him.
Virginia McCaskey was born before both color TV and coloreds on TV.
George McCaskey is next in line.
He’s only 68 which means the McCaskeys will be owning this team for at least another 20+ years and it’ll most likely be, once again, passed down to another McCaskey who didn’t earn anything and has even worse decision-making skills than the geriatric lady who allowed Matt Eberflus to be their head coach this season.
So either Caleb Williams wasn’t aware of the Bears vast history of ineptitude OR his ego is so large he believed he could singlehandedly save a franchise that surrounded him with wide receivers he has zero seconds to throw to because his offensive line is made up of 5 guys allergic to pancakes.
Either way, Caleb Williams committed to a group of losers and has to wear that loser stink with the rest of them.
He’ll never reach his potential.
Even if he has a Sam Darnold 2024-esque resurgence elsewhere later in his career, Caleb was the no. 1 pick expected to become a Hall of Famer.
Now, I don’t know, maybe he’ll be as good as Geno Smith. Yike.
