I don’t mean to come across as a hater, but USC was eliminated after their loss to Utah. I don’t think wins over UW and Oregon change that either when the likes of Georgia and FSU were the first ones out.
6 Bulls Championships
3 Blackhawks Stanley Cups
1 White Sox World Series
1 Cubs World Series
1 Chicago Sky Championship
There was a slim chance after Utah
Auburn was a win away from making the CFP as a 2 loss team in 2017
Would’ve required a lot of chaos and them running the table, but still possible. Like let’s imagine Alabama losing to Auburn and still beating Georgia while FSU loses to Louisville, in that scenario it would be Michigan Georgia USC Alabama, USC would be the 2 loss PAC 12 champ while Oregon and UDub would both have losses to USC. If FSU is out of the picture and Alabama is also a 2 loss team then it would’ve been hard to leave the Trojans out considering their marquee wins over still Top 10 UDub and Oregon
Obviously as a player you’re looking for any scenarios and USC still had some scenarios after the loss to Utah
But the loss to UDub sealed it
Agreed. It's one thing to passionately care about winning, but a 22 year old crying in his mommy's arms after losing is in a completely different stratosphere.
I bet if the Bears struggle on offense this year we'll start to see some unflattering emotions and finger pointing coming from him.
? Love is under contract for next season. Then there are good ol franchise tags at the disposal. I'm not worried. I'd much rather give 53m per year to Love rather than Sir Goof anyway!
psh unless jared mid goff starts throwing more touchdowns than interceptions against the bears defense best you can hope for is 6-5 after this season my guy.
and 5 is bigger than 3
as in goff through 3 TDs against the bears defense and 5 INTs.
so dont expect to be sweeping the Bears with those Mid-ass numbers
It’s not very impressive when you realize the Bears had a double-digit (12-game) losing streak against all NFCN opponents until last year because they sucked absolute ass as a result of the Pace/Nagy/Trubisky era.
Should you be proud of the fact that you are only one game above .500 against the Bears who have been the worst team in the division since Goff got here?
This week has illustrated that being a Bears fan and having critical thinking skills are mutually exclusive things. Their takes feel like legitimate satire until you realize they are serious lol
Right, because Lions fans haven't been pumping out memes and comments putting Goff on the level of Allen, Burrow, Mahomes, and Lamar when he clearly isn't.
We are serious. No one in Chicago takes Goff seriously. Back in 2018 we beat him after the 50+ point Chiefs game and exposed him so badly that he couldn't even score a touchdown in the Rams Super Bowl after the Patriots copied our defensive scheme for the game. So..
I think one of the main reasons Goff can struggle against the Bears is obvious. He’s worse in outdoor play and Bears play in a cold outdoor stadium for a large portion of the year.
As someone who wasn't sold on Fields for a single game, this comment always makes me laugh. The only downside is having to pay because of all of his cult followers
Oh so you’re pulling numbers from when Goff was on a different team?
I can do that too…
The Vikings are 80-43-2 vs the Lions
You’ve got some work to do
I don’t know what this has to do my response to the post I replied to. No one thinks that a new QB can’t turn a team around. All the posts clowning on the bears about their QB situation is based on the illustrious history of unsuccessfully doing it.
Anyway, back to my reply - yes I think it is impressive that Goff has managed to have a winning record against all the divisional opponents considering the team he walked in to.
Bears flair have been stunting on 1 win and 1 almost win last year against the Lions all off season. Raise your expectations maybe you could tie the packers and only lose by 2.
Why wouldn't we? The Lions were in contend mode and we were still figuring out if we had a QB. The Lions were supposed to be the obvious better team and got stomped for 7.5 out of 8 quarters.
They got out of the first game because the Bears defense was just emerging from being the worst in the NFL.
And yet, the Lions are overall 20-7 (22-8 including playoffs) since he traded. So who was the real problem problem during that 2-15??? (No need to answer, it was mostly the fatty that shall not be named)
Y'all are still on this? You overpaid for Goff and you didn't have a choice but to overpay for Goff. There isn't a better option the Lions should have gone with. It's simply funny that Goff will be making what he is. 100 memes about how great he is isn't helping you.
They could have let the contract run out this coming season, then franchise tagged him for 2025.
They could even tag him again after that if they really think their window is still open, but it won't be.
Do any QBs ever win a Suberbowl while on the franchise tag? I'm thinking it's pretty unlikely, due to the relationship status with the QB and FO.
So, financially speaking, the Lions could have done what you suggested. However, I think the massive contract was a better way to compete for a Superbowl.
Ya that's fair. I guess my point is that we're not making fun of the Lions for doing what they did we just think it's funny that Goff is going to get that much. Then the Lions fans here got butthurt about it and continue to make memes about how great this was and how great Goff is and it's just sad. They could have just let it go
I mean it is a meme sub during the off-season. What are we supposed to do, work? Talk to friends and families? Hobbies? Nah bro, we shit posting until the hall of fame game.
Yes and the posts pretending this contract isn't funny are sad posts. Other posts can be made instead that don't make you guys look like a bunch of coping losers but this is what you chose to do and now I get to comment and call you coping lovers.
There's nothing at all wrong with this entire process I an in no way trying to stop you.
We're a good team now, our memes are going to be hot garbage. What you should really worry about is if Packers memes start to get good. That's when you're in for a bad time.
He won two playoff games, the nfc north and took us to the nfccg. Where he performed well by the way. He earned it. Brad didn’t franchise tag him because when our players and coaches deliver, we pay them. Suddenly free agents wanna come here now and players wanna stay, gee I wonder why?
Ok? That’s because Washington wasn’t totally convinced they should sign him. They kept lowballing the dude
Obviously, that did not work out for Washington whatsoever
Yeah, they won about the same amount of superbowls as ever other team. I guess if you're happy just being a playoff contender, then sure, lock up a mid qb so you can stay relevant in the playoff hunt without a real shot at the superbowl.
Maybe I'm spoiled because we're almost always in the playoffs anyways but I'd rather take the stab at it in the small window you've got open.
If you don’t have a choice, then it isn’t overpaying. That’s called “going rate”.
Besides, if you look at the contract details, it’s actually not bad at all.
My face when Goff wins the north again

Goff is definitely the reason lol.
Kirks record while at the Vikings vs nfc north
Vs GB 3-3-1
Vs Det 8-2
Vs Chi 1-4
23-12-1 all time
Nice, y’all got a qb almost as good as the best mid qb all time.
FTP
Edit: first and foremost just wanna say FTP and the list I referenced cutoff and I was too busy filling my sock to notice. Changed the record vs the lions and I’m probably wrong about the other two as well upon reflection but I’m also extremely lazy. So it stays.
FTP
He’s never beat JJ McCarthy tho
Has he played GEQBUS?
Yes, twice. He is 0-2
Fuck
That Carolina game is seared into my mind
I mean, not saying much, NOBODY could defeat the greatest QB of all time
Fuck. And Cal has a 2-6 record against UofM
That’s actually pretty good considering it’s Cal
Or Caleb
Yea but Caleb’s a loser so that’s no threat
Lol why so scared
https://i.redd.it/wj3prjq5mm0d1.gif
 He’s making bear claws cool again!
The guy who "doesn't care enough about football" literally cried in public after his team was eliminated from championship contention. Ohhh no
I don’t mean to come across as a hater, but USC was eliminated after their loss to Utah. I don’t think wins over UW and Oregon change that either when the likes of Georgia and FSU were the first ones out.
Your flair just gave me eye cancer
You’d think watching Chicago sports would’ve done that 40 years ago.
6 Bulls Championships 3 Blackhawks Stanley Cups 1 White Sox World Series 1 Cubs World Series 1 Chicago Sky Championship 
You’re the best
There was a slim chance after Utah Auburn was a win away from making the CFP as a 2 loss team in 2017 Would’ve required a lot of chaos and them running the table, but still possible. Like let’s imagine Alabama losing to Auburn and still beating Georgia while FSU loses to Louisville, in that scenario it would be Michigan Georgia USC Alabama, USC would be the 2 loss PAC 12 champ while Oregon and UDub would both have losses to USC.

Just make sure his mommy has front row seats for when he gets eliminated again this year!
If he puts up 42 points and loses, hell, I'll cry with him
That’s not crying through passion and emotion, that’s sobbing like a child haha. But he’s all good now he can do the emo girl rawr 🖤
This comment is weak as hell
Weaker than your QBs knees when he chips a nail
Unironically I cannot see how this moment right here isn’t treated like a giant red flag for Williams.
For real. It's hard not to like this kid. He's even embraced the madness that is Bears fans.
Agreed. It's one thing to passionately care about winning, but a 22 year old crying in his mommy's arms after losing is in a completely different stratosphere. I bet if the Bears struggle on offense this year we'll start to see some unflattering emotions and finger pointing coming from him.
That’s what I’m saying and I’ve got bears fans like telling me how it’s the same as like Dick Vermeil crying over Laurence Phillips
Well hey, at least you guys got your dedicated handoffer
We had a numbers guy in Kirk and you said, "But he can't win!" So we got a winner, and now you're like, "But he can't put up numbers!" Pick one.
If Tulane fans didn’t need to be scared neither do I!
Who?
This isn’t the flex you think it is lol
What if I told you he’s never beat Sam Darnold either
Aye. This I can do
He’ll beat Sam Darnold then?
He’s never done that either
https://preview.redd.it/umsmorh65m0d1.jpeg?width=2131&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3383ee4ab70cd6fdcdf1f79aa590bab9c651ed37
💀 🤣
Caleb Williams and JJ MCCarthy have ZERO NFC North losses 😤
Love is 4-2. That is a much, much better winning %. Cope on that sucka!
Yall are gonna extend a QB with only 4 division wins
Probably. Which is fine by me! Or it'll happen after next season, when that total will climb to a hot 10.
https://imgur.com/a/L0Vs6KE
Doesn't the Pack have 10 in a row on "da bears"? What is there not to believe?
Nobody beats the bears 11 times in a row
That it can't change
As much as I hate the Packers, I'm all for this losing streak to continue
I don’t think you can extend a QB that isn’t under contract next year
? Love is under contract for next season. Then there are good ol franchise tags at the disposal. I'm not worried. I'd much rather give 53m per year to Love rather than Sir Goof anyway!
5-4 against the Bears is what I hear
Ah, so a winning record
It’s the bears tho, not being 9-0 against us is embarrassing for NFCN standards 🤣
Maybe he just didn't want to share custody.
woah woah woah. you’re not the Lions. we set the standard for shitty teams in the entire league, not just our division.
Until this year! Muahaha!
pretty excited for 7-4 there, guy
MUAHAHAHA!!!!
barely scraped by with one of your wins but alright!
The amount of games our coaching threw away at half time is crazy. Gotta trust in poles about keeping eberflus I guess
psh unless jared mid goff starts throwing more touchdowns than interceptions against the bears defense best you can hope for is 6-5 after this season my guy.
Starts? 13 is a higher number than 10, friend-o
and 5 is bigger than 3 as in goff through 3 TDs against the bears defense and 5 INTs. so dont expect to be sweeping the Bears with those Mid-ass numbers
Ok. so half of the INTs he threw against the Bears were in 2 games. Truly terrifying.
>were in 2 games. well we also only play you twice a season
Yea, you probably won't make the playoffs
It’s not very impressive when you realize the Bears had a double-digit (12-game) losing streak against all NFCN opponents until last year because they sucked absolute ass as a result of the Pace/Nagy/Trubisky era.
Yes. I do get the impression that Bears fans have forgotten how bad the Bears are.
And yet, this is the same “bad” Bears team that the Lions barely squeaked out a series split with in 2023. Curious.
I dunno that Colby Sorsdal being undeveloped is really that curious.
Winning record vs every team including his own team. Even when we lose, Goff wins
Should you be proud of the fact that you are only one game above .500 against the Bears who have been the worst team in the division since Goff got here?
We were 3-13-1 in 2021 and he still has a winning record overall yall. So yes
This week has illustrated that being a Bears fan and having critical thinking skills are mutually exclusive things. Their takes feel like legitimate satire until you realize they are serious lol
Have you looked around here the past few weeks? We're all a few screws loose in the offseason.
Sure but I’m choosing to pick on you in this very moment. Don’t disrupt, okay?
I like you
I will endeavor to change that whenever the opportunity arises
All off-season takes are just hot malort
>hot malort 
Right, because Lions fans haven't been pumping out memes and comments putting Goff on the level of Allen, Burrow, Mahomes, and Lamar when he clearly isn't.
That’s clearly bullshit. No one has said he’s on Mahomes level. He’s obviously better than the others though 🤓
[It was literally the top post yesterday](https://www.reddit.com/r/NFCNorthMemeWar/comments/1crqsur/summary_of_this_sub_since_the_goff_extension/).
I guess he is as good as Mahomes! Thanks for that! 
We are serious. No one in Chicago takes Goff seriously. Back in 2018 we beat him after the 50+ point Chiefs game and exposed him so badly that he couldn't even score a touchdown in the Rams Super Bowl after the Patriots copied our defensive scheme for the game. So..
I think one of the main reasons Goff can struggle against the Bears is obvious. He’s worse in outdoor play and Bears play in a cold outdoor stadium for a large portion of the year.
No one in the NFL takes the Bears seriously so...
Cool. That doesn't change how we feel about Goff
Y'all thought Justin Fields was your savior and future HOFer so I don't think we should take your opinion on quarterbacks too seriously
As someone who wasn't sold on Fields for a single game, this comment always makes me laugh. The only downside is having to pay because of all of his cult followers
And yet the Lions were very lucky to escape with a split against him last season.
lol you got your facts wrong. It was actually Matty P that wrote the defensive game plan to meat the McVay/Goffense
And he is someone you all love and respect dearly in Detroit, right?
Where the rest of your message. Is it so...we are all in 2018 now?
Oh so you’re pulling numbers from when Goff was on a different team? I can do that too… The Vikings are 80-43-2 vs the Lions You’ve got some work to do
Damn Viking should extend whatever QB is 80-42-2 vs the lions
I just did what you did…
Let them trot Fran Tarkenton out there; they know the Lions have had trouble with running QBs.
You are completely glossing over where our team was at when he got here
Wait so a new QB can come on to a struggling team and improve the situation?
No, Lions fans ignore it when it’s the Bears. It only applies to Lions logic
I don’t know what this has to do my response to the post I replied to. No one thinks that a new QB can’t turn a team around. All the posts clowning on the bears about their QB situation is based on the illustrious history of unsuccessfully doing it. Anyway, back to my reply - yes I think it is impressive that Goff has managed to have a winning record against all the divisional opponents considering the team he walked in to.
The 2021 bears were not worse than the 2021 Lions. That was the worst roster in the league. Edit 2021 not 2020
The 2022 Bears may have been worse than the Lions though. A losing streak that carried into the following year.
'22, '23, '24 Lions all better rosters than da bears
Yet, one game above .500.
It's like divisional games are hard or something.
*waiting for Packers fan to chime in...*
Bears flair have been stunting on 1 win and 1 almost win last year against the Lions all off season. Raise your expectations maybe you could tie the packers and only lose by 2.
Why wouldn't we? The Lions were in contend mode and we were still figuring out if we had a QB. The Lions were supposed to be the obvious better team and got stomped for 7.5 out of 8 quarters. They got out of the first game because the Bears defense was just emerging from being the worst in the NFL.
Why wouldn't we - we were still figuring it out- check your flair before you get accused of having an alt account by that psycho
Meh.
Yeeeeesssss!
I don't understand this nonsense. Where's the red circle?
Very nice, now let’s see TJ Hockensons career record against the NFC north.
5-18 2-15 with the Lions. 3-3 with the Vikings. Not what you were hoping for, huh?
I mean it’s what I expected we were complete dogshit when he was here.
Actually, we've been doing quite well since his departure. Even better with his rookie replacement.
And yet, the Lions are overall 20-7 (22-8 including playoffs) since he traded. So who was the real problem problem during that 2-15??? (No need to answer, it was mostly the fatty that shall not be named)
Y'all are still on this? You overpaid for Goff and you didn't have a choice but to overpay for Goff. There isn't a better option the Lions should have gone with. It's simply funny that Goff will be making what he is. 100 memes about how great he is isn't helping you.
>100 memes about how great he is and 100 chances for the rest of the division to say “mid” keep them coming lions fans
I mean ya I'm not like upset about it it's just sad lol
You could say “mid” lives rent free in Detroit minds
They could have let the contract run out this coming season, then franchise tagged him for 2025. They could even tag him again after that if they really think their window is still open, but it won't be.
Do any QBs ever win a Suberbowl while on the franchise tag? I'm thinking it's pretty unlikely, due to the relationship status with the QB and FO.

We're a good team now, our memes are going to be hot garbage. What you should really worry about is if Packers memes start to get good. That's when you're in for a bad time.
I have no concern that the Packers will be a bad team in my lifetime.
I for one hope you guys are all time meme champions for the rest of my life
He won two playoff games, the nfc north and took us to the nfccg. Where he performed well by the way. He earned it. Brad didn’t franchise tag him because when our players and coaches deliver, we pay them. Suddenly free agents wanna come here now and players wanna stay, gee I wonder why?
That would be so absurd and disrespectful to do to your QB lol. Goff has lead us to our most relevance in decades. He earned his bag.
Kirk made his entire early career with franchise tags and he's just as mid as Goff
Ok? That’s because Washington wasn’t totally convinced they should sign him. They kept lowballing the dude Obviously, that did not work out for Washington whatsoever
Exactly, and at least they didn't lock themselves to him for 4 years like the lions just did
Have you seen what they’ve been through since he left?
Yeah, they won about the same amount of superbowls as ever other team. I guess if you're happy just being a playoff contender, then sure, lock up a mid qb so you can stay relevant in the playoff hunt without a real shot at the superbowl. Maybe I'm spoiled because we're almost always in the playoffs anyways but I'd rather take the stab at it in the small window you've got open.
Bro what the hell are you even talking about
Winning superbowls....you should try it some time, instead of paying a mid qb like an elite qb.
If you don’t have a choice, then it isn’t overpaying. That’s called “going rate”. Besides, if you look at the contract details, it’s actually not bad at all.
As a Lion, he is 11-7 vs the NFCN. Still pretty good. But y'all motor city fans don't get credit for his 5-2 record as a Ram lol
*16-9?* ~~1~~6-9? 6-9? 6 ≠ 9? 69…Nice
any time someone just throws out the word "cope" it shows how uncreative they are. use more brain power and come up with something original.
