Bears fans want to fire Shane Waldron after embarrassing call on fourth attempt and goal

Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears did not get off to a particularly good start in Sunday's road game against the Indianapolis Colts. Many of the problems that characterized Williams' early career also showed up against the Colts, including an ill-advised interception in double coverage.

Despite this, the Bears managed to force their way to the Colts' goal line once late in the first half. However, much to the dismay of Chicago fans, the team was unable to put the ball in the end zone on four consecutive attempts, giving the Colts' defense impressive goal-line position.

The plays, including a pitch to D'Andre Swift on fourth down that resulted in several yards lost, were designed by Shane Waldron, the Bears' offensive coordinator, who faced massive criticism on X (formerly Twitter) after the debacle.

“Shane Waldron is a problem,” wrote one user.

“It's time to have a conversation about Shane Waldron,” wrote another.

Even fans of other teams who have experience with Waldron's methods have spoken out.

“All I’m saying is that the Seahawks fans hated Shane Waldron with a burning passion for a particular cause,” noted one fan.

Overall, it was another example of the lack of imagination in the Bears' offense over the past two weeks, despite having the number one quarterback selected in Caleb Williams.

Especially last week in the away game against the Houston Texans, the playbook did not seem to be very imaginative, which was also made more difficult by the fact that the Bears offensive line did not have the slightest chance of stopping the Texans defensive front.

In any case, after the game in Indianapolis, the Bears will next face the Los Angeles Rams next Sunday.
