Things aren't going well for the Chicago Bears and their fans are not happy about it.
On Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts, Chicago's much-maligned offense actually put together a competent drive to the red zone. They had first-and-goal at Indianapolis' four-yard line with two minutes left in the first half. Trailing 7-0, it was clear the Bears were in four-down territory in an attempt to tie things up.
With that scenario, a rookie quarterback still looking for his first NFL touchdown pass and a horrid offensive line, offensive coordinator Shane Waldron called three straight runs for running back Khalil Herbert. They gained a total of three yards.
On fourth-and-1 with Caleb Williams, a mobile quarterback, under center, Waldon called for another run play. It was an option with Williams and D'Andre Swift. The Colts sniffed it out and the run went for -12 yards. Yeah, you read that right.

As stated, Williams is a mobile quarterback, so the decision to not get him on a bootleg with an option to run it in or throw it is completely puzzling.
Bears fans took to social media to unload on the play-calling.
Things are going great in Chicago.
