Fans Disgusted During Seahawks, Bears TNF Matchup
But despite the importance of this game, fans were quick to point out their disgust with the Thursday Night Football product. With 2:48 to go in the second quarter, the Bears and Seahawks were locked in a 3-3 game. In what has been a recurring theme all season long, fans were outraged with the quality of the game and voiced their disgust on social media.
"Is there a reason if they feel the need to play a game during the week to not just do it on Friday nights? These Thursday nighters are awful," one fan said on X, formerly known as Twitter.
"Every Thursday night football game has been trash," another fan added.
Hall of Famer Shares Concerns About Caleb Williams
There was a lot of optimism coming into this season for the Chicago Bears. After drafting quarterback Caleb Williams with the first pick in last year's draft it seemed that things were finally trending in the right direction in Chicago. But to this point, Williams' rookie season in Chicago has been a disappointment. This year has been another failure for Chicago Fans as they are outside the playoff picture and dead last in the NFC North Division.
But it is not just Williams' lackluster numbers that have been alarming. His body language on the bench has also been concerning over the past few weeks as you can see he is clearly frustrated. Monday Night Football analyst and NFL Hall of Famer Troy Aikman believes that Williams could develop a confidence issue if things continue to trend this way.
"We were watching him on the sidelines, he was grimacing and in an enormous amount of pain. And as I watch him, you can tell that he's a defeated guy," Aikman said.
"I mentioned that he hasn't been through anything like this at any point in his career. What you worry about is a rookie quarterback losing confidence."
