THE OFFICIAL PACKER SCHEDULE THREAD---DONT MAKE A NEW ONE

[El Guapo]

Agreed. I looked at the schedule and thought to myself that it doesn't seem as tough as previous seasons. Maybe I'm just more confident in my Packers, but the decline of teams such as the the 49ers also makes it seem easier.

***Of course I expect the team to take each game seriously, more so than me***

The Bears have a new coaching staff and are implementing a new 3-4 defense. I'd expect
Rodgers to carve them up pretty easily in week one.

The Packers won't have any film on the Bears new system which could make that game a little tougher.

Maybe a little tougher, but won't get close to making up for the talent gap.

Thanksgiving night. In Green Bay. The Favre celebration. This could be the Bears' Super Bowl. I'm expecting a real slobberknocker.

I like the schedule. Pretty decent bye week, Thanksgiving night game rocks, many-a-high-profile matchup and all the west coast games are 3ish which keeps their body clock around a noon kick.

As for the Seattle game I want all their studs healthy and talking noise per the usual. When we win that matchup I want there to be no BS "yeah but's" hanging in the wind. Bump that man. Bring your squad, we will bring ours and let's dance Johnny!

Freaking A it's getting real ladies and gents! The draft upcoming and yes there's the official dead zone for a while after that but each day brings us closer to camp...and games...and wins...and another Lombardi! I am also counting the days until the Cowboys game week 14 as I'm finally getting back to my home state and chose that as my must see game. If I'm going it ain't gonna be 65 degrees and I'm pretty darn sure a week 14 game will ensure that! Maybe I can meet a couple of you guys for a few coldies and put some faces to the names. Great season ahead folks and as always...GO PACK GO!

Jay gonna do what Jay do. System be damned!

I suspect Mike will put a lot of focus on watching tape on Fangio's defense in Frisco to get a game plan together. It's not like the guy is bringing anything new to the table, just new for the Bears. Pack will have the advantage in that the Bears D will be quite green and not used to the new scheme which will cause some confusion I expect Aaron to take disgusting advantage of.

What about Same Ole Jay??

 

[Raptorman]

I am having a really hard time picking out four losses on the schedule.

Here let me help you. Seattle, Minnesota, San Francisco, Minnesota.

 

[Beagle]

Great looking schedule for the Pack, naturally you'll get slaughtered in week 14, but apart from that it couldn't be any better. I'm calling a 14-2 season if your QB stays healthy. Can't remember his name, he's a rookie right?
Shame you're not playing the Vikings earlier, although that week 17 game could be a scorcher.

Roll on week one.

That's just sad. Turkey dinner and watching the Bears get slayed by the Packers?

Not for me. I want this game to be based on relevance. An optional game decided the week before. I need FB that day to avoid the idiots I avoid all year, make it a good game for god's sake!

The reason this game is slated for Thanksgiving night is the Packers retiring Favre´s number. That will increase ratings more than a more interesting matchup.

In response to that -

Strike one.
Strike two.
Care to change your call?

...
And on a side note, the Lions and Vikings have tough opening stretches to the season based off SOS (the 3rd and 4th toughest over the first four games) and the Bears play us, Arizona and go to Seattle. If we can avoid an early season mis-step, we could really build up a divisional cushion right out of the gate.

As of week 5 this was a good call. Three game lead in the win column on both Bears and Vikings.

I really hope this isn't for the NFCN crown. Resting starters with Vikings trying for wild card preferable.

 

[Half Empty]

Not sure about resting the starters in week 17 - that hasn't gone well in the past.
