It’s likely to be a shitty season for those of us not in the Wisconsin TV zones.

In the past, it's been shitty for those of us, in Wisconsin, who cannot get the Packers games because they were scheduled to be played at the same time the vikings games were. Here's hoping that this season, the NFL Schedulers fix that problem.

Looks like the non-division away games are easier than the home games.   That could play a big part in the final record and if the Pack makes the playoffs.

Found on the Internet:

One fun fact: The Packers have the 9th weakest "strength of schedule" based on 2022 W/L. Also the weakest in the North. Ironically the Bares have the toughest SoS in the North.

Also, if you can believe this...Bleacher Report ranked the Packers D 18th in the NFL going into 2023 with the lions 24, the Bares 29 and Minnie 30.

The 18th ranking in spite of this 2022 performance:
17th in points allowed
17th in total yards allowed
28th in yards allowed per play
21st in turnover created
6th in passing yards allowed
12th in passing touchdowns allowed
24th in passing yards allowed per attempt
26th in rushing yards allowed
23rd in rushing touchdowns allowed
28th in rushing yards allowed per attempt
24th in penalties committed
25th in turnover percentage

Hope the Defense gets "Rich" this season.

I like the fact that there are only 2 away games in what can be a warm environment. Depending on when they are scheduled, of course.
Las Vegas is always hot, Charlotte can be until early fall.

Vegas is a dome so…and I’m near Charlotte…no comparison between September here and September in Florida.

I’m thinking that there will be plenty of early Sunday local market only games so those of us not in the local viewing area need to get YouTube, figure out the streaming deal or  find a local establishment with the package.  I guess listening to Jim and Max could suffice for some.

Been eyeing the Vegas and Charlotte games and going there.

Charlotte X4 party?

Hope it's a day game.

I can still feel the cold rain pelting me as Brad Hoover turned in to Walter Payton on steroids on a miserable MNF

I would be in for that if everything lines up.  An easy one hour flight and always up for a Packer party weekend. 

It has been over 20 years since the Packers got Hoovered and I still haven't gotten out it.

That game is going to be one hot ticket. Good luck getting in that stadium for under $300 a seat. Enjoy those $16 beers too

That doesn't surprise me one bit and may have to rethink Vegas.  I got back from Vegas not that long ago and I was blown away how freaking expensive it is.  Way different than 30 years ago when I went there last.

We toured the stadium in February and it's impressive BUT our cab driver told us that tickets and hotel rooms are VERY expensive, that the seats were sold out via PSLs and many are making bank reselling them to out of town fans.

Prices for just about every single NFL franchise are sky high. It's pretty much the hottest ticket in sports, there's only a 17 game season, and teams can only capitalize on 8-9 home games.

Las Vegas used to be so cool and inexpensive before Howard Hughes f'd it up.
The mob knew how to steer the money in to gambling which they could skim, instead of room, food and entertainment costs.
