Chicago Bears fans stir baseless DJ Moore controversy on social media

The Chicago Bears' loss to the Houston Texans seemed to suck the positive energy that was surrounding the Bears after their season-opening victory against the Tennessee Titans.

For all the talk there was that the defense could carry the Bears while the offense figures things out, Sunday's loss to the Texans proved that there will need to be life from the offense if the team is going to reach the playoffs.

There is no doubt that Sunday was a frustrating moment for the Bears. That is likely the biggest reason why DJ Moore expressed visible frustration with the lack of progress that the offense was making against the Texans.

Notably, a clip that has been making the rounds on social media shows Moore seemingly expressing his frustration to backup quarterback Tyson Bagent after a missed conversion on third down during last Sunday's loss.

Moore met with reporters on Wednesday to talk about how he was perceived during the loss to the Texans.

"I shouldn't have shown as much," Moore said. "But it's a part of the game. Like I said, we were one play away from the game-changing. And we just couldn't connect. Nobody on offense could connect with the one play or get the one play started to get us on track and go up. It's football. Everybody is going to have their ups and downs and frustrations."

No, Moore isn't clamoring for Bagent to be the starting quarterback. No, Moore's frustration is not because he wants Justin Fields to be the Bears' quarterback. Moore's frustration is that the Bears lost a game that they had a chance to win had it not been offensive miscues.

Anyone who watched Hard Knocks during the preseason is aware that Moore has become embedded within the Bears' culture. The idea that his sideline behavior last Sunday was anything other than normal frustration for a player who expects better of himself is the type of behavior that has led to Bears' fans becoming less intelligent on social media with each passing day.
