'Frustrations go way back’: Caleb Williams drops 'not my fault' line after Bears' 6-3 disaster

The Chicago Bears’ season is practically a script for how not to do it. A 6-3 loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday sealed their 10th straight defeat, and rookie quarterback Caleb Williams didn’t exactly help his case. While he admitted to mistakes during his postgame comments, his overall tone came off as detached. Fans? They weren’t having it.


Williams told reporters, “Their frustrations go way longer back than I’ve been here. My job is to go out there and win games.” Fair, but it feels like sidestepping accountability when the offense is this bad. He threw for 122 yards with an interception, got sacked seven times, and posted a passer rating of 53.0. This isn’t just about legacy 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? Costly. It erased any hope of setting up a field goal to tie things up. This wasn’t just a bad game—it was his fifth this season with fewer than 150 passing yards. For a supposed franchise QB, those numbers aren’t cutting it.


To his credit, Williams did take some accountability: “I didn’t play well enough. I didn’t help put the team in a good position to win.” Sure, that’s what you say, but accountability only means something when it’s paired with improvement. And right now, there’s little evidence of that.

Fans are so over it

The fanbase is spiraling, and honestly, who can blame them? Social media lit up with criticisms of Williams and the Bears organization. One fan tweeted, “This guy’s got talent, but leadership isn’t there. You can’t build around someone like that.” Another called his postgame comments “a masterclass in deflecting blame without actually taking responsibility.”


It’s not all on 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 the No. 1 overall pick, fair or not, the spotlight burns hotter.

The season closes against the Packers next week, and the question isn’t just whether the Bears can win—it’s whether Caleb Williams can show something. Anything. Because right now, fans aren’t buying the excuses. And frankly, neither should he.

What’s next for Chicago?

The Bears face the Packers next, but it’s less about this season and more about what they’ll 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 keep spinning. As for Williams, this season might not define his career, but it’s certainly not the start he—or the Bears—hoped for.
