Are you guys looking forward to the most? I really hope we can beat the 49ers. We got them at Lambeau so we should win. How about you guys?

11 picks. I want the middle of the defense strengthened with about 5 guys they like. That leaves 6 and UDFA's to provide competition elsewhere. Four years from now, if I look back and see 1-2 core players and a smattering of complementary contributors to a winning team I'll consider it a highly successful draft. It ain't easy picking way down at 25 every round.I’d say we don’t want to get ahead of ourselves. That could happen if we don’t beat the Lions. Also I like having at least one playoff game at
Lambeau, I think it’s good for the fans.
I also think we’re going to be built for January Ball with Jacobs, Dillon and hopefully a 3rd from this draft class. Plus we have a better than 50% shot at upgrading our OL or at least upgrading our OL depth.
Good news!Well.... it's official!
It's a great time to play an International game. First week of season, Friday night, only 2 hour time difference, changes a tough road game in Philly to a neutral site. I would imagine week 2 would also be a home game. This is a win/win in my opinion. A negative to me is I don't like that it's exclusively on Peacock... I've been hoping to not add another streaming service, yet here we go again.Good news!
Thus will be the first game 10s of millions of people will see. Many will chose the Packers or the Eagles as their team. If the Packers make a great showing, we may add 10 million packer fans in one game.
Peacock? I hope they still show it locally or I will be miffed.It's a great time to play an International game.

Update, just had an alert from my local... they said the game will not be televised on their station....I live in U.P. of Michigan, the Packers have been our local station, maybe I'll get lucky.
Time for an overnight road trip down to 1265 Lombardi.Update, just had an alert from my local... they said the game will not be televised on their station....![]()
Quick! Make a reservation at your local sports bar. What city are you in?Update, just had an alert from my local... they said the game will not be televised on their station....![]()
Lol, there are no cities in the UP.Quick! Make a reservation at your local sports bar. What city are you in?
Went to iron Mtn a few weeks ago for first time. Had a *****. (Pass Tee). I'm hooked. Escanaba is lovely, at least by the moon light, and economically speaking, Sault Ste Marie is one of the most important cities in the country under 100k residents.Lol, there are no cities in the UP.
I like the practice squad idea. But keep in mind this is a Thursday night game. Packers have 3 extra days to recover from a 12 hour flight. I don't think there are any adverse issues with this.Since there aren't direct flights from Green Bay to Brazil, they're probably looking at 13-14 hours of flying, play a game in torrid heat and fly back another 13-14 hours. Can't imagine that won't impact week 2. Both teams will get back late Saturday night or Sunday exhausted. It's the kind of scenario that can put both teams at a disadvantage. The loser of a game played 7,000 miles away is likely to start the season 0-2. Hopefully the next bargaining agreement will put an end to such nonsense but I highly doubt it when money is the primary motivation. It's bad enough for Green Bay but to make matters worse, the Eagles also lose a home game. It's no coincidence, that the overseas trip to London set off a tailspin by the Packers in 2022. If I'm the Eagles and Packers, I'd demand that the league relax the rules for suiting up players and allow both teams to suit up the entire 53 and practice squad to allow both teams to spread out the impact of the game.
There are ways to get it. You might do a little searching out there.F these exclusive streaming games, I won't do it if it's not something that I don't have. I'm not local to the Packers local broadcast, I'll have to see if I can find an illegal Brazilian website. All these Prime, Peacock, etc. are pissing many people off.
