While Jaquan Brisker hasn't played since October 6 due to a concussion, the Chicago Bears' safety has been actively cheering for the team on social media.

The Bears' Week 11 loss to the Green Bay Packers was the latest in a string of heartbreaking losses for Chicago. Beginning with a Hail Mary loss to the Washington Commanders, the Bears are now in the middle of a four-game losing streak due to Cairo Santos' blocked field goal attempt on Sunday.

Emotions were riding high for Bears fans as rookie quarterback Caleb Williams seemingly had the team in position to secure their first win over the Packers since 2018. Instead, it's another ending of heartbreak.

Brisker, who was placed on IR this past Thursday, immediately took to X after the loss to issue an apology to the fanbase.

There is no doubt that Bears fans deserve more. The 2024 season is quickly becoming one of the most disappointing seasons in recent memory. Things seemed to be trending in the right direction after Williams' four-touchdown performance against the Jacksonville Jaguars in London. A win that, at the time, had the Bears with a record of 4-2 entering their bye week. Four games later, the Bears are 4-6 on the season with each Sunday being a reminder that Matt Eberflus shouldn't be the head coach of the team.

The fans deserving more is something that needs to be realized among George McCaskey, Kevin Warren, and Ryan Poles. McCaskey's Bears just had a heartbreaking loss to the Packers, a game that holds the most degree of relevance for the team's owners. The loss can once again be tied to mismanagement from Eberflus during the closing minute of the game. The decision to bring Eberflus back this season falls on Poles. If the Bears had a team president who wasn't locked onto failing with his messaging in securing a new stadium for the team, there would be immediate changes at Halas Hall. Instead, Warren will just sit back a let Poles and Eberflus continue to sit in the mess they made.
