    Packers Opponents So Far

    Through the first 5 games the Packers opponents have a combined record of 8-17.

    The Packers have yet to play a team with a winning record.

    At no point during the season have any of the Packers first 5 opponents been above .500

    If San Diego loses tonight, the same will apply to the game this week. If SD loses tonight, it will be week 8 (Denver) before the Packers play a team with a winning record. The Packers will also play a team with a winning record in week 9 (Carolina). After week 9 (depending how Minnesota and Dallas do) it's possible that the Packers won't see another team with a winning record until week 16 (Arizona).

    It's weird how NFL schedules play out.

    Eh, tough for your opponents to have a strong record when you go 5-0 against them. Feels like a Skip Bayless argument to me.

    For comparison, the opponents' records for the 5 other undefeated teams are 8-11 (NE), 8-16 (Cincy), 7-17 (Denver), 5-15 (Carolina, and 10-13 (Atl).

    Both NE and Atl played Dallas w/o Romo and the Pats also got Pitt w/o Bell.

      None of the Packers opponents a has played very well, but how many expected this before the season began. Seattle went from SB champ to SB loser to "Fart in the wind". KC offense is more Chefs than Chiefs. Nobody is surprised about the Bears, 49ers and Rams having losing records, although the Rams and shockingly the Bears have been playing the best of any Packers opponents.

        KC totally went in the tank after the Charles injury. It was like a collective gunshot to the head.

          To be anal, 8-12 in other games is the record to look at.

            Packers opponents so far...

            Have been beaten each time the Pack played them. That's all that matters.

                Packers are 5-0 against the point spread so far this year. Passing rating differential is a league leading 54.6 (117.4 / 62.8); they are second best in both offensive and defensive QB rating.

                  Doesn't seem like SD will lose tonight, but the Chargers have a history of being very volatile. Could be they shit the bed. Could be they win 42-13.

                    Yup, can't do anything about who you play. On a side note if ATL and CAR split and beat everyone else their strength of schedule will most likely be the lowest because they will each play NO and TB twice.
                    But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

                      Remember at the beginning of the season everyone saying the Packers schedule was going to be devastating. We get both the NFC West and AFC West. Two stacked divisions with Oakland supposedly ready to take a jump with Carr in year 2. Minn and Det improving to challenge for the division and only Chicago to kick around on the schedule.

                        With only 5 teams in the NFC with a winning record, and 6 in the AFC, most of the game will be against teams that are at or below .500 right now.

                            Well, we do have Chicago and Detroit twice. So there's that.

                              Wouldn't a similar description be a small nuclear device to the head?
