Packers Seahawks kick it off!

[Smidgeon]

SEA vs GB for the opener puts it into to perspective who the NFL sees as the marque team.

They could have started with SF or against DEN in a rematch of the Super Bowl. Instead they pull GB.

Agreed, but SF/Sea will be big anytime, and the SuperBowl rematch will be big anytime. They needed a third marquee game that didn't have anything special about it to fit the opener (thus, making it a big game). GB's number was called.

GB is one of a small handful of teams facing multiple teams coming off the bye. SF & Sea combined have zero.

fucking ridiculous...but what can you do. screwed the first game of the season again.

I hate Thursday games, and the Packers have two. Always have hated them. Mondays are sort of an extension from the weekend, but Thursdays stick out like sore thumbs. It is not a time I plan to follow a game. It's the middle of the week.

I hate it when the NFL messes with my gambling routine.

I'm only okay with us opening in Seattle if we get spotted a TD late in the game that gives us the lead and gives no chance for Seattle to answer.

One good thing about this year's schedule is we won't have a bye in week 4.

We will see early how good this team is between the Seattle start, 3 out of first 4 games being on the road and three straight weeks of division opponents.
Way early prognostications, 11-5, provided this year see's a return to normal on our greatest nemesis (injuries). I see our probably losses being Seattle, NO, NE away @ chicago and then some random wtf loss (likely the bucs).

I think the NE game is at Lambeau.

I think we'll show pretty well against the Seahawks and Jets out of the gate for the reason I stated - neither one of those teams chucks the ball around the park, hence Dom the Dimwit won't be able to play as much 2-4 as he'd like - which should produce good results.

The games we'll likely give up 800 yds per in will be Philly, Det, Saints, and New England.

I think we're as good or better than all of those teams - but we have Dom the Dimwit as our DC. I like our chances better against Seattle, than I do any of those other prolific passing teams.

We gave up 571 yds and 40 pts to Detroit last time we met them (and that was even while forcing 4 turnoves, lol); New England will put up 50 pass attempts without batting an eyelash; the Saints usually light us up for big offensive numbers; and Philly is as prolific as any offense in the league.

I would rather play Seattle all 16 games, than to have to face a steady diet of passing teams, simply b/c of how inept Capers is at defending the pass.

Fuck seattle!!! hipster bitches!!! They will get their shit pushed in by Rodgers and Co.

[Zool]

Not sure why everyone is counting the NE game as an automatic L. They have the same deficiencies on D that the Packers do and I'd take the Packer O over the NE O. Might be 45-42.

Honestly, the game I'm least looking forward to is the one in Tampa Bay. That place has been a house of horrors for us and now its combined with Lovie Smith and his collection of anti-packer voodoo charms. Its got all the makings of something that's hard to watch.

Slap a 12th man with a Sturgeon for me.

[Upnorth]

I ment away @ Chicago, so I guess I was redundant pugger. I think NE is one of the more probable chances to lose zool.
