Packers to play Colts in HOF game

Deleted member 6794 · Feb 16, 2016

Game will be played August 7th.

Good: They'll open camp earlier than normal and will play the first preseason game.
Bad: They'll play an extra preseason game.

I want to go to that game. That's not too far away.

Here is what Aaron has to say about the game according to his twitter account:

"how excited are you for the hall of fame game?"
-Fan question

"A 5th preseason game?! #stoked"
-AR

Aka, Aaron is not happy about it.

NFL probably has the least number of games per season across most (if not all) major sports. One extra game should not be that much of a inconvenience.

LOL. Nobody wants that.

A good opportunity for locker holders occupying the "Green Mile" to get a whole lot more playing time.

until your star player goes down for the year in that one extra game.

This is going to f-up the entire camp schedule!!! I will have to run in the 5K a week earlier now.

I don't think I would let a single guy with 53 man roster experience play. 5 garbage pre-season games is ridiculous.

A few years back (more than a few), the NFL had six pre-season games and a fourteen game regular season schedule. Somebody figured out that was dumb.

Not a fan of an additional game that doesn't count and exposes players to the risk of injury. I would play any of my starters if I didn't have to, but I imagine the NFL would throw a tantrum.

Why can't the HoF game be just another one of 4 preseason games? Does that make too much sense to do that? lol

Wouldn't be surprised with another HOF game the year Charles Woodson goes in.

Packers vs. Raiders?

Good chance unless some other "bigger" name gets in that year like Peyton or Brady.

With Woodson most likely being a first ballot HOFer he will make it to Canton in the same year as Peyton (assuming he retires this offseason).

If the NFL could make money playing a Toilet Bowl Game, featuring the 2 worst teams going head to head the week before the Super Bowl, they would. :coffee:

The Toilet Bowl would for sure be more interesting than the Pro Bowl.
I think it would be a money maker.

Add in the incentive of "Winner gets the #1 draft pick". I mean who wouldn't have been lining up to watch the Browns and the Titans smash it out in January? Maybe play the game in a fitting place like Kohler, WI or Mansfield, OH.

There's a stadium in St. Louis that should have an open date around then. Centrally located and plenty of beer in town.

That's true, but do they manufacture toilets in St. Louis or is it a toilet bowl.

The river is quite handy. Just aim towards the arch.

Packers/Colts in another 5 years?

Or will Peyton go in as a Bronco

P.S. I know players don't pick teams to represent hence the wink.
