One of the biggest concerns for the Bears heading into Sunday’s game against the Eagles was containing a dominant Philadelphia pass rush that’s the best in the NFL.
The Eagles led the league with 49 sacks entering Week 15, and they’ve been bringing the pressure on Bears quarterback Justin Fields. Before this game, Chicago was already among the worst teams in pass protection, allowing 42 sacks on the season.
Through the first three quarters of Sunday’s game against Philadelphia, the Bears have allowed six sacks on Fields.
It’s been pretty ugly for Fields, who’s been among the most-sacked quarterbacks in the NFL this season. It’s also gotten to the point where NFL fans, especially Bears faithful, are concerned that this offensive line is going to get Fields killed.
Here’s how Twitter is reacting to Chicago’s pass protection woes against Philadelphia and their concerns about Fields’ health:
I’m worried for Fields health behind this line today.

I’m back to thinking Fields’ life is in danger. #Bears

This is quickly reaching a point where they need to objectively evaluate whether or not it makes sense to keep Justin Fields in this game. 6 sacks in 2+ quarters. #Bears

Just keep Justin Fields healthy today.

Fire this Bears OL into the sun. They're going to get Fields killed.

After how many sacks should the #Bears seriously consider taking out Fields?

I don’t know about you but I’m good with Fields taking the rest of the afternoon off

I’m actually pissed I wasn’t healthy long enough to block for Justin Fields. I’ll admit it.

How much to get Justin fields an oline, I'll pay

The good news is the Bears got the ball back the bad news is Justin Fields has to drop back behind this OL again because of it.

Give me Nathan Peterman please. Justin Fields gonna he Justin 6Feet Under by the end of this game. #Bears

The bears have $124 million dollars of cap space. Surely with that amount of money they can improve there OL and save Justin Fields

— Matthew Clemente (@clam_57) December 18, 2022
Bears o-line is getting Justin Fields murdered on the field.
— Thrillhouse (@dirtyhizzo) December 18, 2022

— COACHUCC (@CoaChuck23) December 18, 2022

— Everybody Hates Chris (@cvp_92) December 18, 2022
Poor Justin Fields. He might as well be out there by himself.
— John Biegel (@johnbiegel84) December 18, 2022
It’s actually insane what Justin Fields is doing with that offensive line in front of him
— Sam Thornton (@samcthornton) December 18, 2022
#JustinFields deserves so much better than this garbage, man… Ryan Poles absolutely owes him every thing for putting up with this crap all season. The ends better justify the means… #DaBears
— SJ (@AllDaySJ_) December 18, 2022
I’d like to file assault charges against Chicago’s offensive line on Just Fields. How is Justin Fields not injured every week?? #FlyEaglesFly
— WrightorWrong (@WesIsWright) December 18, 2022
Justin Fields is not going survive this game.
Bears lack of protection is criminal.— Frank Cianfrani (@FrankCianfrani) December 18, 2022
I feel bad for what our defense line is doing to Justin fields. I hope he doesn’t end up getting hurt.
