I’m shocked to hear myself saying this, but that schedule DOES look like a 10-win one. (Provided Rodgers doesn’t suffer some sort of rotator cuff calamity.)
MC said in April 14th, 2009 at 6:13 pmI’m excited for the season after seeing the schedule. I’m ready for football again.
Nick said in April 14th, 2009 at 6:14 pmThey get the Ravens at home on five days rest. Then travel to Chicago and Pittsburg the next two weeks. That is a tough three games. I do like the how the first 8 games plays out though. Probably need six wins those first eight….
DaveK said in April 14th, 2009 at 6:47 pmI stopped playing this game long ago. The schedule is certainly looking good but you never know who will be the Arizona Cardinals of 2009. Cautiously optimistic would be a good descriptor here
Andrew n Atlanta said in April 14th, 2009 at 7:31 pmFor the Blogfesters, I made some suggestions in the forum now that the schedule is up
Andrew n Atlanta said in April 14th, 2009 at 7:36 pmGood point Andrew. We won’t be able to determine schedule strength until the end of the season.
IronMan said in April 14th, 2009 at 7:42 pmDave, that’s not a five-say turnaround…that’s a Thursday game followed by Monday night! Who cares about an early Bye when you get another near-bye after Thanksgiving? This looks like a fun season.
Holly said in April 14th, 2009 at 7:44 pmOr 5 days…new iphone, still not that adept at the typing.
Holly said in April 14th, 2009 at 7:47 pmInteresting indeed…of course, given the Packers have the 2nd or 3rd easiest schedule this year, it’s kind of hard to find a “bad” month, isn’t it?
That will change, as some teams are going to be better than last year. The Lions can’t get any worse. I won’t predict 10 wins but I can see 8, maybe 9. I’m going with 8, though.

Pack Fan In Enemy Territory said in April 14th, 2009 at 8:35 pmwhy are we not hoping for 4-0 going into the bye??? who we gunna lose to? MN? didn’t we beat them on MNF last year?
jeremiah said in April 14th, 2009 at 9:13 pmAfter thanksgiving we get a monday night game?
Sweet! That’s like a second bye.
gratif said in April 14th, 2009 at 11:16 pmThe Minnesota game in week 4 hinges on three things: 1. the status of the Williams wall and whether they will be completing their 4 game suspension announced last season (and the Williams wussies went to court to get an injunction). If they are out, you get Jimmy Kennedy and Letroy Guion (WHO?). Sounds like 3 yards and a cloud of dust time to me (thanks Woody Hayes).
2. The Viqueens ongoing quarterback travails and who is starting that week (neither one scares me quite honestly).
3. The Queens record after the first 3 games (they get Cleveland away, Detroit away, and San Fran at home). They are expecting to be 3-0 going into the Monday night game with the Pack.
keeley2 said in April 15th, 2009 at 7:46 amI have to think that 3-1 start at the minimum is very doable.
What’s the deal with ALWAYS having to go to Chicago in the middle of December?
Also 4 out of our final 6 games on the road, don’t care for that at all
Ryeguy812 said in April 15th, 2009 at 8:49 amThe schedule says, win a lot early. A slow start could be disastorus. I don’t want any “it’s early don’t worry” comments this year. Early wins are an absolute must.
