[QUOTE="TJV, post: 442721, member: 4300"] [COLOR=#000000][FONT=Tahoma]If it were up to me the Packers would always play on Sunday at noon. But one “price” of their success is the popularity which has them playing in more marquee games. So I happily give up what I consider the “ideal” schedule in exchange for the Packers having legitimate title hopes.

At least McCarthy and staff will have a lot of time to prepare for both games. I don’t like three straight road games but they aren’t playing murderer’s row in that stretch either.
