Released tonight on TV

I'm surprised there have been no leaks, the teams get the schedule several weeks in advance. Usually at least some of the national games get leaked, maybe they have been and I just haven't seen anything.

I'm always curious to see our national games as well as who will be coming to Lambeau in December (although our cold field advantage hasn't really been all that in recent years). November/December games in Miami or Tampa will be VERY tempting, especially since tix are easy to come by down there. That said, those games will probably both be in September.

HOME: Chicago Bears, Detroit Lions, Minnesota Vikings, Atlanta Falcons, Carolina Panthers, New England Patriots, New York Jets, Philadelphia Eagles

AWAY: Chicago Bears, Detroit Lions, Minnesota Vikings, New Orleans Saints, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Buffalo Bills, Miami Dolphins, Seattle Seahawks

Very hard schedule. Getting the Eagles and Seahawks thrown in sucks.

We've known the opponents since the season ended. It's the dates that get released tonight.

O sorry, shows you how much I am paying attention to the Packers lately.

The only thing I've heard rumored is we are potentially opening up @SEA on Thursday night.

If we open on a thursday night, that is fine with me.

sounds like Lions week 3 and week 17

Confirmed by Tom Silverstein.

Good test to open up the season, this board will either be calling for the heads of everyone if we lose a very tough road game against the defending champions or they will be buying tickets for the Owl if we win. Such is life

That's an exciting way to start the season.

2 Thursday night games, 1 Monday night and 2 Sunday night games so far, 2 late Sunday games and 9 noon games. I think flex scheduling starts in week 4 this season.

the second half of the season looks good as far as who we have to play home/away. gotta play the patriots/eagles/lions for the division? come to lambeau! our homefield advantage ain't what it used to be, but i'll take it.

I like our schedule overall, opening at Seattle is going to be tough and that 2 week period of Carolina followed by New Orleans is a tough challenge but we get our bye right in the middle of the season and a good balance of when we play the teams that on paper should be tough and the one short week is light on the travel, can't complain too much about it.

I say 19-0.

A favorable bye
12-4
division champ
conference champ
SB Champ
