Team president Mark Murphy told ESPN he has asked the NFL to allow the Packers to open at home this season — the 100th in team history. Packers have an opening weekend celebration planned. https://t.co/ByipDOuIks pic.twitter.com/pwZXzJQQ8B

Oh how sweet it would be to host the Vikings on the opener.
per the radio this morning, they want it to be a Sunday night game too... and radio guys figure it'll be the bears. I hate night games to open the season, especially if it's a beautiful sunny day....
- it can't be the queens

Can't. They're opening season vs. Eagles already.
Hope it's not the Bears.
If it must be in division, Lions.
I'd prefer it vs. the Niners, Falcons or Cards honestly. Or 1 of the AFC teams
Gotta believe it will be the Bears.

Maybe the Queens will be week 2. That way the suicide watch can start early in Minnesota after they are 0-2!
Vs. the Bores makes sense from the viewpoint of the 2 oldest teams in league, oldest rivalry, etc. Ties into the 100th anniversary quite nicely.
Can't miss a marketing opportunity like that ^^. Gotta be Chicago. Great storyline about how Rodgers came back from earlier collarbone to beat them in 2013 and send GB to playoffs for fifth year in a row. If it is the Bears, you can bet that 2013 game would be mentioned a bazillion times.
Any decent broadcast would break open the film vault and show a lot of Vince and Papa Bear, those great 60's teams, and HoF players all over the field. The story about how Halas quietly did things to keep the Packers in Green Bay and a viable franchise never gets old, either.
Why do you expect a decent broadcast on today's TV?
Fedya,
You'll probably be watching the game on radio---after you find out what's in Fibber McGee's closet.
Who writes your material?
Buddy Sorrell?
Nice.
I hope the Packers come out with a 100th anniversary jersey ala when they did their 75th. I'll be purchasing of one of those babies if they did...
they were clarifying this like crazy on the radio this morning, it's the 100th season, not anniversary - that'll be next year. a twofer on selling merchandise. I still have one of those 75 patches somewhere...
the Dalai Lama knows football
kinda crazy, the Tibetan monks are in GB visiting St Norberts this week, and Aaron's in India visiting the Dalai Lama... world turning.

Big hitter, the Lama.
