Looks like 10-11 wins
10 of 17 opponents had winning records. 4 of those were 9-8.
7 of 17 made playoffs
Opponents were combined 152-137 for a winning pct. of 52.6
Not that any of this matters.
Schedule is 6 division games, AFC South, NFC West, New Orleans, Miami, @Philadelphia
Drawing @ Philly is the most unfortunate of the bunch.
Will probably lose two of the away trio of LAR/SEA/PHI and drop one to DET or MIN. Lose to SF at home and drop one at home between MIA/NO/HOU.
Miners game could be a playoff rematch…
Hate LA but going to have to look into that Rams game. The stadium looks like a beast from the outside.
Whomever plays the AFC N, NFC N or NFC W will have the toughest schedules this year. Plus the teams in those divisions especially ARI because they have to play SF, SEA and Rams twice.
Final standings by Division
AFC N - 43 - 25
AFC E - 33 - 35
AFC S - 34 - 34
AFC W - 32 - 36
NFC N - 35 - 33
NFC E - 33 - 35
NFC S - 27 - 41
NFC W - 35 - 33
I'd be down for that as well. Hate LA, but I can stomach it for 36 hours.
Do we open vs. SF? They are going to be pretty pissed when we bounce them and win the Owl.
Bears Twitter is a lot of fun. There is a fields cult and a Caleb clique. The latest funny one is the field cult saying Caleb is a pussy and gay because he said he’s dejected and just wants to go home and cuddle with his dog.
Ok, look, yeah, the world we grew up in we were teased for that shit. But let’s be real, it’s healthy to enjoy warmth and happiness like that with your pups. Maybe none of us said it out loud, but good on him for being real. And further, he has closeness with family and a pet. Sounds like he’s not too worried about a woman and that takes away one possible big distraction.
I watched a full game of Caleb. Maybe it’s the college game compared to NFL, but I didn’t see one anticipation throw. Jordan Love had such a lowsy perimeter group, especially his last year, he really had to do that. And now in the NFL it’s one of his greatest strengths. He can see the game and anticipate and Gute saw that on the college tape.
I’m not sold on Caleb just yet. But like people told me last year with Watson, didn’t do it doesn’t mean can’t do it.
But what i saw was a guy who threw it when the route was clearly declared. He hung onto the ball and made things happen a lot. He struggled putting air under longer throws and he’s so used to throwing off platform, when he’s on platform and it’s down the field he seemed to air mail it.
I’m not convinced he’s much better than Fields. Better off platform and not quite as good of a runner, but he didn’t show any signs of seeing the game fast and anticipating. But again, that just might be the college game and I’m not a full on expert so we’ll see I guess.
I'm thankful we don't play the Jets. Rodgers is gonna bounce back and have them up near the top next season, and without a draft pick on the line, I'll be rooting for him.
If the Bears decision makers have a lick of sense - far from a sure thing, they will stick with Fields and use their top pick(s) for something other than a QB.
And, Fritz, I'll double down on saying if Rodgers is healthy, he's got a few more years of greatness in him.
Packers will play Eagles in Sao Paulo, Brazil on Friday September 6. It's an Eagles home game.
A lot of Packer fans won't see it for free though.

Peacock (NBCUniversal) will exclusively stream the game nationally and the game will also be available on free, over-the-air broadcast television in the local markets of the competing teams as well as on mobile devices with NFL+.
Good. Red’s too cheap to sign up. His nonstop bitching in the GameDay thread turns me off.
In all seriousness, I am sure the die-hard fans will find a way to catch the game. Hell, we should do a Packerrats meetup game in Brazil! Bobble volunteers to foot the bill.
It's surprising that the international game is a road game for the Packers. Usually other teams are protective of games against the Packers. I figured they would try to steal the 9th home game again.
No it’s that your too rich to look for deals. I got Peacock for .99 a month for a year. My advice, dup email accounts to switch between to the latest deals. When you cancel they start begging you back after a few months and make offers. Only Amazon and Netflix will not play along. They don’t appear to track the payment card being used so their system can be punked.
When I first heard these rumors about the Pack playing in Brazil to start the season and it would be against the Beagles, I was a little irritated that the Pack would be losing a home game, even though I live nowhere near GB. But then I remembered that the when the opponents list came out, that the Pack/Beagles game was an away game for the Pack, so the Beagles are losing a home game. Good! Screw them!
I read an article a couple weeks ago that the Packers have a pretty big fan base down there, so I hope it's more of a home game for the Pack than the Beagles. If anything, I'm glad that this game is on neutral ground. I live near Philly and would be very tempted to try to go to this game, but Philly fans, especially Beagle fans are in a league of their own and that's a nice away of putting it.
The Packers will play the Eagles in Brasil on a FRIDAY. It sounds like it will only be avaliable to Peacock subscribers and those within the on-air region:

According to The Athletic’s Matt Schneidman, the Packers-Eagles game is going to be streamed exclusively on Peacock, a subscription service, but the game should be broadcast locally within the Packers’ television network footprint on over-the-air television. So for those of you in Green Bay or Milwaukee without a Peacock subscription, do not fret.
Figuring out how to watch football has gotten to be too much work. I miss the days when the NFC was on CBS, and the AFC on NBC, Sundays at noon or 3:30 pm CST only, except for Thanksgiving, which was GB at Detroit. Every team played every week. I was adaptable enough to accept Monday night games on ABC. Still simple enough to know who carried any game. Then interconference games started, but always carried by the network of the visiting team. Simple:
GB vs NFC on CBS
GB at AFC on CBS
AFC vs GB at GB on NBC
GB on Monday night on ABC
Friday was high school football, Saturday college football and Sunday the NFL, with a single Monday night NFL game. Life was simple.
Then at various times a second Monday game, Saturday games, Thursday games, byes. Games in the middle of the night because it is played in a country where football is played in shorts and you can't touch the ball with your hands.
Even if I know when it is, I don't know who will broadcast it, and when I do know which if any network carries it I often have multiple channels of the same network. When the guide states merely "NFL Football" I don't know which has GB and which something else.
I don't like working this hard for casual entertainment.
You say that like it's a bad thing.

Look, Mad - she's walking right toward you as you sit in your beach chair on the Rio de Janeiro beach! And she's speaking Portugese to you, and every middle aged white guy knows that Portugese and Mexican are the same language, pretty much, so you know she's asking you if you want to join her and her friends to party a little bit, and is Aaron Rodgers really as big a pendejo as he seems to be, and then she's going to call you "Jordan," and you're going to realize that racist Portugese chick thinks you are Jordan Love, because you northern-brown skinned dudes all look the same to her cute little Brasilian brain, and you're about to say "Hell yes baby" but then whitest-white-guy-of-all Fritz shows up with his orange speedo and his gut hanging over the top, and she's gonna realize there's no way Jordan Love would hang out with a goofy-ass old white goof like Fritz, and she's going to turn around and walk away. But at least you'll get to see her ass swinging so sweetly as she walks away from you.
This has lead to the death of boxing. When they went to pay per view only for any fight worth watching many were still hooked and ponied up. It worked until it didn't. Now, I never watch a fight anymore. To watch every worthwhile fight on TV required too much work. I slowly lost interest. The generation behind me couldn't afford to gain interest in their youth so they don't watch boxing. Now the sport is relegated to a couple superfights a year at best that only the most die hard care about.
Good observation. I watched boxing when I could watch free; but have never paid to watch. I used to know and follow the Champs and rising contenders in many of the weight classes. Now I don't know a single one.
I think fantasy football has changed the younger fan base particularly. There is not the same level of team loyalty. They care about individual performances more than team outcomes, even for opposing teams in the same games. So long as the players on their fantasy teams do well, they are happy.
Agree with both of you here.
I was at a sports bar with my wife in '21, so we could watch the Packers. Davante Adams made a big catch - I don't remember which game - and a young guy nearby started yelling and cheering. Not a common sight in the Detroit area. So I said, "Oh, are you a Packer fan, too?" Him: "Oh no. I just got him on my fantasy team."
Took the wind out of my sails. I realize a lot of the young guys aren't watching because they're fans of certain teams; they're watching because they have fantasy players they're tracking. It was deflating for me.
Fritz that is White girl!!! She is way fine and while your story was Penthouse worthy you went with the first stock photo instead of making an effort.
This would be more like it:

I have to wonder if the lack of fandom correlates with the area teams lack of success. Fritz’s lions example being a good one. Here in Cali everyone except the Chargers has a strong following in the younger generations. Might be a gang mentality thing for some :lol:. The other 3 have won or been to a SB this century and in the playoffs many times. Does this ring true for da Chicago area?
