I think the only chance all 4 teams make the playoffs is if everyone splits with each other, and continues to steamroll everyone else outside the division.

Maybe. But what is a more ideal scenario:
A rookie QB playing against their divisional rivals, in the first games, first live NFL defense, while at the VERY BEGINNING of the process of installing the offense, and figuring out timing, with a brand new offensive staff…and against divisional rivals that have been playing for years out of their playbook?
or
Having over half a season’s worth of games to get shit figured out, before playing those divisional rivals?
My opinion: Caleb is way ahead of schedule, and is showing growth in each and every game following his previous. He was objectively better in week 2 than he was in week 1. He has
objectively better in week 3 than he was in week 2. He was objectively better in week 4 than he was in week 3. He was objectively better in week 5 than he was in week 4. He was objectively better in week 6 than he was in week 5.
It’s crazy, because linear, game over game improvement, flies right in the face of conventional wisdom, in QB development.
I’ve even read Houston fans that watched Caleb’s UK game say that he is not the same QB they faced at all, earlier this season, and feel lucky that Houston got to face him before where he’s at now.
That was a 6 point game. Caleb is more than 6 points better now, than where he was, game 2 of the season.

Darnold, like Goff, can be rattled with pressure. If Gervon can be disruptive from the interior, the Bears can play with them.

I just wanted to add, that Williams also weathered an international game, amazingly well, only having one truly bad throw…while the read, decision, and timing, was correct.
For context, there have been 3 international games played thus far in the season, and:
Jordan Love’s worst passer rating of the season thus far, came in his international game.
Sam Darnold’s worst passer rating of the season thus far, came in his international game.
Aaron Rodgers’ worst passer rating of the season thus far, came in his international game.
Jalen Hurts’ worst passer rating of the season thus far, came in his international game.

NFC North is best division by far right now....
That being said, I think the winner of the next Superbowl is residing in the AFC

Um.... Then why does Love have the best stat line of any NFCN QB? He literally is 2nd in the league in TD passes despite missing two games.
Incredible passes doesn't = luck lol. Love was known for his highlight reel passes coming out of college, that's why he was projected to and drafted in the 1st round.

No, you don't lol. The Packers still have the best QB in the division, just like last year. This will continue.

That will be difficult since Tampa and Atlanta should each go 5-1 in their division, or 4-2 at the worst. (I know, strange results await, but they have two bad teams in the South)
East - Washington and Philly - though they can lose at any time.
West - San Fran should win division and Seattle will fade so that's good. I don't see AZ or LA getting to enough wins.
Doable. But those South teams need to lose their AFC matchups.

In fairness, the point differentials are not per game, but aggregate, and the Bears have played 6 vs some teams playing 5.
But still a strong indicator.

Meanwhile, no team should make it from the AFC East.

OH bullshit, he does not have a better stat line than Goff, you dolt. Goff is averaging more yards per attempt ( 8.9 vs 7.8) has a higher completion percentage (71.1 vs measly 58.9) less interceptions (4 vs 6) and a higher overall rating (105.3 vs 93.7)
GTFO

Love has more TD passes, a better TD to INT ratio, more rushing yards and only 200 less passing yards in 2 less games lol.
Just wait until next week. Goff is mediocre af. Love is 2nd in TD passes on the league despite missing two games

1 less game, dumbass. So fucking what about the TD's, Goff leads him in every other stat except interceptions, which Love has accomplished in one less game, I might add.
* and I never spoke of passing yards.
"Then why does Love have the best stat line of any NFCN QB?"
Because he doesn't
not in yards per attempt
not in QB rating
not in completion percentage.

Love has more passing TDs by far, and also a better TD to INT ratio, that easily outweighs everything else you said. Love also only has only 200 less passing yards, and more rushing yards in 1 less game.
