Bears fans have had over a decade of disappointing Packers losses. Going into this game, Bears fans felt like they had a legitimate chance to upset the Packers. One big reason for this was Justin Fields. Fields had a stinker of a game. He only threw for 70 yards and had a measly 6.7 QBR. After the game, Fields expressed his frustration. Basically, he said that the players hurt worse than the fans because they put in hard work and fans don’t. I get where Fields might be coming from, but this is not what fans want to hear after losing to a hated rival.

Many Bears fans took to social media to express their displeasure with the comments. Justin Fields’ comments following the Packers' loss have caused many to turn on the quarterback.

Whether Fields meant something different or not in his comments, the damage is done. Half of the fanbase is defending him, while the other half is ready to trade him. This is just the cherry on top of the Packers victory against the Bears.
