[ThunderDan]

That is a very sweet Green Package slate of games. Me very pleased!

The gold package gets:

Pre-season: Oakland
Regular season: KC and DET

One of the worst predictions for the season:

http://espn.go.com/blog/green-bay-packers/post/_/id/20117/game-by-game-predictions-green-bay-packers

Predicting losses to Seahawks, 49ers, Broncos, Cardinals, and at the Lions. The only "big game" they'll win is against the Cowboys. It's as if this writer thinks the Packers have no shot in big games. Yes, I think those games will be tough, but to think the Packers can't win any of them? Ridiculous.

The 49ers are a shell of the past with Kaepernick regressing, the Seahawks could be a challenge, but the Packers showed they could dominate them if they didn't self-destruct, the Broncos are old (but still probably quite effective), the Cardinals have an injury-prone QB, and the Lions don't have Suh.

I can see losses to the Seahawks (because the Packers always start slow and the NFL likes scheduling big games early in the year) and Broncos (because Mr Regular Season) and maybe the Cowboys (depending on Dez Bryant vs CB#2), but none of the rest seem anything other than "normal football games that can go either way but should be wins for the Packers".

Week 16 (Dec 27): @ Cardinals
Week 17 (Jan 3): vs. Vikings

To predict a loss to the Seahawks at home is simply assuming a 2 game trend will continue. He might as well continue to write about soft n' small.

ESPN must not have flown him out to Seattle for the playoff game.

[Pugger]

pft is also saying bears week 1

actually its just PFT quoting the guy you already mentioned, but in todays day and age, thats confirmation

I don't mind playing the pandas in week one. Perhaps the field won't be a royal mess.

[Pugger]

This was the most exciting thread in the history of Packerrats. The suspense, the thrills, the chills. There were more enticing leaks than at an octogenarian shuffleboard tournament.

But don't knock shuffleboard until you try it with players who really know how to play.

The only thing I hate about the schedule is the bye week is waaaaaaaaaay too early.
Week 1 is way too early for this bye crap.

[Tony Oday]

13-3

12-4, APRH. We'll always have Buffalo...

Bye week too early, Seattle too early

OK, but I was think Mr. and Mrs. Havercamp level skills.
"That's a peach, hon"

Bye week too early, Seattle too early

See, I actually like getting Seattle early. Given the epic collapse, if/when they thump them in Lambeau it will exorcise some past demons and allow for early mojo.

I like the way you think

[MadScientist]

I thought the NFL had a rule requiring a home game before a Thursday game. Perhaps the NFL considers the game at Min a home game for the Packers.

I think it is that the team that travels on Thursday will have been home the previous Sunday.

Not enough home games in November and December. Puts a big emphasis on starting out hot. If they start slow again this year like they usually do it will be hard to make it up later on.
