I just looked at the overall schedule, (I know I should have this memorized by now), but F@#$, this schedule is incredibly challenging. I can't see any week, besides the Queens and Browns and Steelers as games that should be "locks". Every other game should be competitive, 10 W's would be very good, IMO.

10-6 would be just fine against that schedule.
Call me obstinate, but I still haven't given up on beating San Fran in week 1 !!!
There is no doubt that teams/injuries will work itself on out, as the season moves forward. But the AFCN and NFCE + division = TOUGH!
Don't know about anyone else, but I'm eyeing 15-1.
Schedule ain't jack. You gotta play who's in front of you & be better than the guy across you
It doesn't look too bad considering it's a "first place" schedule. Baltimore and Pittsburgh should be down some, Cleveland sucks, Philly and Washington aren't there yet, the Giants are Jekyl & Hyde, the Queens are regressing to the mean....it could be worse.
Too early to say how tough it is.. There are always several surprise teams in both directions.

I disagree, Pittsburgh might be down, the Ravens are still pretty good, and Cincy is alot better. The Giants are Jekyl and Hyde, but are pretty good, and the Eagles looked solid. Washington and Dallas talented, but all over the place.
I agree with Boris, you play who's in front of you, but injuries and time you play are always a factor.
Don't read too much into the teams winning in week 1.

With teams as young as TT and MM field year to year you don't really know what you have until weeks 5-8. I think this roster could be special. Just stay reasonably healthy.
I'd take 3-3 to start until this team figures itself out.
And that's really the beauty of Aaron Rodgers. GB can tweak the roster to find young missing pieces because AR is good for 10 wins by himself. TT, MM, and the staff need to find the missing guys to ensure the other 3-4 wins. If it takes those young guys time to develop AR is the guy that buys them the time.

We are the ones who knock.
Packers are going 0-16.
GB will lose 3 games. Another way of saying that is GB will win 13 games. Either way, we will face SF again. Mark it down.
Years from now, people will swear GB went 16-0 in 2013. It's always the impression you leave.
A month later I've got to say the schedule looks pretty cream-puff to me. Toughest games looking like the Bears, who aren't bad but not exactly amazing... and Cowboys maybe?
Jesus ****. Don't even say the "C" word... it's brings that batschit crazy lady around.

I'd agree, after the first couple of weeks, you look at it, and you expect some teams to turn around (PIT, NYG, PHI), but most of those teams are average at best. I think we will be favored in the rest of our games, except may 1-2. Not bad!
It is still early in the season, and there are few cream puffs in the NFL. I'll give you that certain teams suddenly do not appear as formidable (Giants, Steelers, Falcons), but that does not mean those are certain victories.
Agreed, any given Sunday, just ask MN against CLE. Talent wise, GB has more talent than any of the teams remaining on the schedule, but you never know. A few weeks ago, I thought 10-6 would be an achievable goal, now 12-4 looks achievable, with 9-7/10-6 being underachieving. Obviously, this all is relative to injuries and how GB operates without the Kracken for the next 4+ weeks.
cant find a link but read onanother board that the Packers have had the toughest schedule through 6 weeks, playing all but 1 playoff team from last year (exception is the 4-2 Lions) and playing both SB teams on the road. still the 2 losses were 1 possession games.
In contrast the 6-0 Broncos and chiefs have had the easiest go. CAnt play Jacksonville, Oakland and pitt every week. The Bears were also up there as far as ease of schedule.
Goin forward, our only games against teams that are over .500 are Det and 2 against the Bears. So this should really start leveling out quickly.
wow those 3 division games are huge.
Don't overlook the Cowboys. The last time the Pack won in Dallas, Infante was the coach.
That's 9 weeks away. Hopefully by then, many of these guys are back
But who else will be injured by then?
